In three‐dimensional land data acquisition, the crossline dimension of the receiver spread is often much smaller than the inline dimension, typically for reasons of economy. Because of fundamental wavenumber limitations in the estimation of residual statics by prestack surface consistent methods, unresolved static errors will persist through processing to the stack data, particularly in the crossline direction. The present method involves an analysis of poststack 3-D data through the creation of a correlation time surface from crosscorrelations of adjacent stack data traces. This time surface is decomposed in the wavenumber domain to isolate and correct some of the spectral components of residual static errors which are beyond the resolution of prestack approaches. Assumptions are implicit within the method regarding the expected 2-D wavenumber nature of the wave field response of true geologic structure. The method is proposed as an additional procedure to the standard 3-D processing sequence for land data.

Based on analyzing the existing algorithms, a novel tool path generation of 2D contour considering stock boundary is presented. Firstly the boundary points of stock are obtained by three-dimensional measuring machine. And the boundary curve is constructed by method of features identifying. The stock boundary is offset toward outside with tool diameter. An enclosed region is formed between the contour curves and the offset curves of stock boundary. The tool path is generated by form of parallel spiral by offsetting the stock boundary in the enclosed region. Finally the validity of present method is demonstrated by an example.

Viscous Effects

The generation of internal gravity waves by a vertically oscillating cylinder that is tilted to the horizontal in a stratified Boussinesq fluid of constant buoyancy frequency, $N$, is investigated. This variant of the widely studied horizontal configuration – where a cylinder aligned with a plane of constant gravitational potential induces four wave beams that emanate from the cylinder, forming a cross pattern known as the ‘St. Andrew’s Cross’ – brings out certain unique features of radiated internal waves from a line source tilted to the horizontal. Specifically, simple kinematic considerations reveal that for a cylinder inclined by a given angle $\unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$ to the horizontal, there is a cutoff frequency, $N\sin \unicode[STIX]{x1D719}$, below which there is no longer a radiated wave field. Furthermore, three-dimensional effects due to the finite length of the cylinder, which are minor in the horizontal configuration, become a significant factor and eventually dominate the wave field as the cutoff frequency is approached; these results are confirmed by supporting laboratory experiments. The kinematic analysis, moreover, suggests a resonance phenomenon near the cutoff frequency as the group-velocity component perpendicular to the cylinder direction vanishes at cutoff; as a result, energy cannot be easily radiated away from the source, and nonlinear and viscous effects are likely to come into play. This scenario is examined by adapting the model for three-dimensional wave beams developed in Kataoka & Akylas (J. Fluid Mech., vol. 769, 2015, pp. 621–634) to the near-resonant wave field due to a tilted line source of large but finite length. According to this model, the combination of three-dimensional, nonlinear and viscous effects near cutoff triggers transfer of energy, through the action of Reynolds stresses, to a circulating horizontal mean flow. Experimental evidence of such an induced mean flow near cutoff is also presented.

Good Agreement

A three-dimensional method to analyze the motions of a ship running in waves is presented, including the effects of the steady-flow potential. Basically, the general formulations are based on the source distribution technique by which the ship hull surface is regarded as the assembly of many panels. The present study includes three algorithms for treating the corresponding Green function:the Hess & Smith algorithm for the part of simple source I/r,the complex plane contour integral of the Shen & Farell algorithm for the double integral of steady flow, andthe series expansions of the Telste & Noblesse algorithm for the Cauchy principal value integral of unsteady flow. The study reveals that the effect of steady flow on ship motions is generally small, but it still cannot be neglected in some cases, especially for the ship running in oblique waves. The effect also depends on the fore-aft configuration of the ship. The results predicted by the present method are found to be in fairly good agreement with existing experiments and other theories.

Abstract The effect of a simulated glaze ice accretion on the flow field of a three-dimensional wing is studied experimentally. A PC-based data acquisition and reduction system was used with a four-beam two-color fiber-optic laser Doppler velocimeter (LDV) to map the flow field along three spanwise cuts on the model. Results of the LDV measurements on the upper surface of the finite wing model without the simulated glaze ice accretion are presented for α = 0 degrees at Reynolds number of 1.5 million. Measurements on the centerline of the clean model compared favorably with theory.
