    Notes: This paper investigates the problems involved in the numerical simulation of free surface wave motions and surface wave effects on marine structures. Various approaches that might be taken in meeting these problems are discussed, and their relative advantages and disadvantages are considered. One particular approach combines a Lagrangian formulation of the governing equations, a triangular grid and a finite-difference solution procedure. Since this approach has some distinct advantages in the numerical calculation of fluid flows which include a free surface, it formed the basis for the development of one particular computer code, SPLISH. Sufficient progress has been made with the SPLISH code to demonstrate the attractiveness of numerical calculations for wave flow problems. Recent computational results demonstrate that realistic time-varying local flow fields, pressures and forces on and near structures such as a half-cyclinder on the ocean floor can be determined from numerical calculations for certain conditions. Good agreement is found in comparison of the numerical results from SPLISH, recent linear wave Green's function and fifth-order asymptotic solutions for wave motion over a bottom seated half-cylinder, and an experimental simulation in a wave channel.

    Notes: The processing of polymers and other solids, such as waxes and acids, often requires the melting of a bulk or granular charge before its introduction into a process stream. Two approximate techniques for relating heat transfer and melting rates are presented here and the shielding effect of the melt formation is considered. The heat available for melting is sometimes remarkably decreased by the heat carried away by the flowing melt. Means are presented for quantitatively determining the shielding or sensible heat effect of the film. The thermal efficiency of the phase transformation process is discussed, and the effects of heat loss to both increased bulk temperature of the flowing melt and conduction in the solid are demonstrated. A comparison with experiment is made using temperature and melt flow data for polyethylene and polyoxymethylene. Heat transfer coefficients and melting correlations useful in practice are presented.

    Notes: Many industrial processes require that solids be transformed to the molten state, thus accurate correlations of heat transfer and melting rates are important in process design. The heat-balance integral type of analysis is applied here to melter systems where phase change and convection effects are of equal importance, and the appropriate parameters that govern the thermal transport process are presented. Applications of the results to both Newtonian and non-Newtonian, power-law melts are discussed, and extensions to variable property situations are outlined. Although the results herein are directly applicable to contact melting systems, the governing parameters are useful in the correlation of other melting processes as well. Acomparison is made between the theory and some experimental data for a gravity-feed contact melter. The results are directly applicable in practice to the melting of bulk and granular crystalline polymers on melting grids, tube bundles, and plates.
