OTEC (Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion) Cold Water Pipe at-Sea Test Program Data Analysis Project. Users Guide for the NOAA/ROTECF and NOAA/TRW Computer Models

摘要

Additional guidelines for the use of the Cold-Water-Pipe computer models NOAA/TRW and NOAA/ROTECF are provided. The primary intent of these Additional Guidelines is to correct and upgrade the user manuals with Errata Sheets and to provide an updated listing of the source codes. It is recommended that users be familiar with the hydrodynamic and structural aspects of floating vessels and the representation of OTEC pipes as beams of equivalent structural properties.
