Motions observed in a Direct Numerical Simulation of a flexible cylinder in a shear current were imposed on the VCTA and force measurements taken. Results showed a good agreement between the RMS lift coefficients of experiment and simulation. Complex Demodulation Analysis revealed significant lift force phase modulations. This analysis also showed that to a large extent the 3-dimensional behavior of the DNS was captured by the 2-d experiment in regions of low inflow, and to a lesser extent in regions of high inflow. Applications of results to future vortex induced vibration force models are discussed. / by Andrew Wiggins. / S.M.

An approach for studying scale-up of food utilization by shellfish is presented. The approach is based on the fact that food concentration is a primary variable controlling food removal and growth of filter-feeders. Twenty raceways were constructed each approximating a tubular reactor by a series of ten stirred-tank reactors. Each section contained ten second-year oysters. Each raceway received water at a different combination of flow rate and relative food concentration. The relative concentrations were formulated by mixing unfiltered seawater with filtered seawater. The oysters were allowed to grow relatively undisturbed for a period of 121 days. Analysis of the weight growth data Indicate that scale-up of a filter-feeding system is possible using space time as a scaling factor. It is also demonstrated that higher conversions occur with lower concentrations. However, a much larger raceway is required to obtain the same amount of growth. A suitable relationship between growth and food concentration was found to be growth rate - k1 [concentration]alpha. An example is given on raceway design using the experimental data.
