.... The comparison revealed that both epistemic and aleatory uncertainties affect the detected annual maxima (AM). Nevertheless, the difference in the estimated return period wave heights was within the statistical uncertainty. The locations and timing of the detected events can differ largely between wave hindcast...

... Abstract A reliability-based approach for offshore wind turbine design is proposed to account for climate change of metocean conditions and uncertainty related to the estimates of future extreme weather and other metocean parameters. The impact of expected wave and wind climate change on OWT...

... Abstract In this paper, an integrated algorithm is proposed to optimize the hybrid steam-solvent injection-production schemes for post-CHOPS reservoirs under uncertainty. First of all, the newly developed pressure-gradient-based (PGB) sand failure criterion is employed to generate dendritic...

... provide valuable information on the state of the Arctic ice cover and have been used as a source of ‘ground truth’ for other satellite products. However, their manual nature raises concerns about the associated uncertainty. To address these concerns, the present study evaluates the uncertainty of total...

... and pressure measured at five monitoring points on the deck are compared with experimental data, while the ship motion is fixed in head waves. The numerical uncertainty of time steps and grid sizes is discussed in details. A set of simulation results with appropriate grid and time step are compared...

... when several ships were stuck and delayed in the Arctic waters, it becomes ever more important to have accurate and timely ice information as well as to account for the underlying uncertainties in the sea ice products. To this end, the present study evaluates the variability in estimated total sea ice...

... wavelengths and mounted directly in the probe. The towing carriage speed of initial point and predetermined moved points were repeatedly measured by the 2D probe. The test duration was changed to obtained appropriate sample sizes, which was applied into the later test. Uncertainty analysis of LDV calibration...

... might amass to considerable costs. On the other hand, pushing the limits of the load capacity of the riser-stack and wellhead may compromise the integrity of the well itself, and such a failure is not an option. Advanced simulation techniques may reduce uncertainty about how different weather scenarios...

... and 0.25LBP forward and aft of midships are also calculated and compared with the measured values. Through comparison with experimental data, the relative uncertainty of all four methodologies in predicting both motions and structural loads are assessed and discussed. Overall, all linearized potential flow...

... Abstract CFD uncertainty analysis is a process to quantify the accuracy of numerical simulation results, and it is also a research hotspot in the past decades. ITTC(2017) requires uncertainty analysis of ship CFD simulation results, that is, verification and validation. In this paper...

... Abstract The requirement of uncertainty analysis has shifted the transformation of sensitivity analysis from the deterministic area to the stochastic area.Geomechanical wellbore integrity problems during drilling operation can occur due to wellbore shear failure or tensile failure. To guarantee...

... Gothenburg, Sweden [email protected] ABSTRACT The design and analysis of structural strength against fatigue failure always includes large uncertainties. It is crucial to understand and identify the most important uncertainties that affect the performance, functionality and service life of an engineering...

... bending stresses are highest. Unfortunately, it is also at this region that uncertainty is the maximum. The increased uncertainty casts doubt on the applicability of generic safety factors recommended by design codes, and the most consistent way of ensuring the structural safety of the SCR is to employ...
