Abstract:
Center for Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (CAMS) Tasmanian Huon pine (Lagarostrobos franklinii) decadal measurements for the interval AD 745–855 suggest a mean interhemispheric radiocarbon offset (20 ± 5 yr), which is considerably lower than the previously reported mean interhemispheric offset for the last 2 millennia (44 ± 17 yr). However, comparable University of Waikato (Wk) New Zealand kauri (Agathis australis) measurements show significantly higher values (56 ± 6 yr), suggesting the possibility of a temporary geographic (intrahemispheric) offset between Tasmania, Australia, and Northland, New Zealand, during at least 1 common time interval. Here, we report 9 new Wk Tasmanian Huon pine measurements from the decades showing the largest Huon/kauri difference. We show statistically indistinguishable Wk Huon and Wk kauri 14C ages, thus dispelling the suggestion of a 14C geographic offset between Tasmania and Northland.

Abstract:
The Whole of Community Facilitator model provides support for healthcare students’ professional experience placements (PEP) in rural regions in Tasmania. In Tasmania, rural PEP is challenged as healthcare facilities are often small and have limited capacity for staff to devote considerable time to supervising students during PEP. Recruitment and retention of the rural health workforce in Tasmania is sometimes difficult because the island State is geographically distant from mainland Australia, and predominantly classified as a regional, rural, or remote area. The University of Tasmania, College of Health and Medicine (the College) explored various initiatives to support rural workforce sustainability, and the project discussed addresses this issue by promoting rural healthcare facilities as potential employment destinations for students upon completion of their course. The model supports the delivery of high-quality supervision to students whilst undertaking rural PEP, to foster positive experiences and potentially influence their future career choices. A successful exemplar was trialled in 2012 and implemented statewide in 2017 using a Whole of Community Facilitation (WOCF) model. The initiative supports host facilities, supervisors, host staff, and students and promotes positive placement experiences. The initiative was designed in consideration of Tasmania’s rurality, and uses a flexible and responsive framework.

Full text
Abstract:
The platypus is found in a high proportion of the river catchments in Tasmania including King and Bruny Island and possibly Three Hummock Island (Rounsevell et al., 1991, Grant, 1992, Hird and Paterson, 1995, Connolly and Obendorf, 1998). It is found in a wide variety of habitats, including urban streams, farm dams, cave systems, estuaries, pristine rivers and alpine lakes (references in Connolly and Obendorf, 1998). However, despite its widespread occurrence, and apparent differences from its mainland relatives, until recently little detailed research had been carried out on the species in this state. In order to review and discuss the preliminary results of the upsurge in research into platypus in the last six years and to identify management issues and priorities for further work a one day 'Tasmanian Platypus Workshop' was held at the University of Tasmania in May 1999. The workshop aimed to improve co-ordination between researchers studying platypus, to ensure greater opportunities for efficiencies in research which would in turn minimise the impacts of research on platypus populations. These proceedings contain the abstracts of the talks presented at the meeting and the outcomes of the subsequent discussion.

Abstract:
This paper focuses on a partnership agreement between the Clarence Community Health Centre in the Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services and the Faculty of Health Science (Nursing, Medicine and Pharmacy) at the University of Tasmania. The aim of the partnership is to develop opportunities for collaboration between the health disciplines and to apply them to the clinical environment, with emphasis on health assessment and care coordination. Clarence is one of two Community Health Centres in Tasmania that provide salaried GP services. Clarence also provides nursing (both Centre-based and in the community), child health, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, podiatry, speech therapy, social work, and will soon incorporate dental health and mental health services. Trainee health workers are part of this multidisciplinary team. Students spend time with each of the service areas as a part of a structured program in their course, regardless of their area of training. Rural outreach is an important part of the work and training program at Clarence and the Centre is a hub site for Telehealth services. Telehealth enables GPs at Clarence to provide additional support to rural sites. Students (undergraduate and postgraduate) learn about the role of information technology in linking primary health care services through active experience in interdisciplinary teams.

Abstract:
<p>Design and construction of a temporary bamboo structure provided the vehicle to explore live and interactive design-led research, extending collaborative partnerships and forging new relationships. Designed for two events of contrasting scale as part of the Dark Mofo annual arts festival hosted by the Museum of Old and New Art (MONA) in Hobart, Tasmania, the project drew on an extensive portfolio of research into traditional and contemporary bamboo structures complied by Sydney-based architecture practice, Cave Urban. It extended Cave Urban’s previous partnerships with Taiwanese artist, Wang Wen Chih, and involved collaboration between Cave Urban and students from the University of Tasmania (UTAS) School of Architecture &amp; Design and Tasmanian College of the Arts (TCotA), and on-site assistance from the MONA events construction team.<br />Construction over a three-week process involved design research that provided new knowledge into bamboo structures and developed new process of Learning By Making as a form of collaborative research-based teaching. Interaction between the team of 25 people shifted between modes of open/closed and flat/hierarchical collaboration, in a dynamic process that lent new definition to the idea of ‘live’ projects. Design-led research provided the opportunity for an equal number of students and expert collaborators, facilitating an opportunity to explore a master/apprentice model, to expanded practical and theoretical knowledge and expertise through the design and construction of a temporary civic event space.</p>

Abstract:
The University of Tasmania established a project in 2009 to investigate the particular needs of casual teaching staff, identify strategies to improve access to information, and facilitate a consistent approach to employment, induction, development and recognition. The project was managed by the university learning and teaching centre, and co-ordinated by a Reference Group. A preliminary survey in 2010 explored casual teaching staff information and resource needs and a mapping exercise was undertaken to establish institutional practices. The findings of the preliminary 2010 survey and mapping exercise prompted the development of an institution-wide Casual Teaching Staff Policy. The preliminary 2010 survey was subsequently updated and a second survey administered in 2012 to obtain additional baseline data against which to evaluate the casual teaching staff project and implementation of the Casual Teaching Staff Policy. This paper presents the results of the 2012 survey designed with this dual focus in mind. The 2012 survey items were explicitly aligned to the Sessional Staff Standards Framework arising from the Benchmarking Leadership and Advancement of Standards for Sessional Teaching (BLASST) project. The 2012 survey results were mapped to the Sessional Staff Standards Framework guiding principles (Quality Learning and Teaching, Sessional Staff Support and Sustainability), standards (Good Practice, Minimum Standard, Unsustainable), and criteria spanning different institutional levels (Institutional Level, Faculty Level, Department Level, Individual Level). Together the quantitative and qualitative survey data results provide a rich depiction of the world of casual teaching staff at the University of Tasmania. On the one hand the results evidence examples of well-supported, fully engaged casual teaching staff; on the other hand, a distressing picture emerges for many such staff. The findings are presented with discussion regarding the requisite ensuing steps in this ongoing initiative to improve the employment, induction, development and recognition experiences of University of Tasmania casual teaching staff.

Abstract:
The following study, in examining theoretical constructs and their practical implications, as they relate to organization management, innovation, and ethnicity, notes the inter-relationship of all aspects of administration. It also recognizes that organizations are social entities which have a nonrational component. These non-rational elements can lead to prejudice, discrimination, and hostility, particularly across organizations and across ethnic boundaries. In the field of education it is contended that innovation or change is only acceptable where effective communication across all involved groups occurs; and in ethnic settings educators must heed the feelings of the ethnic community accepting that the community has knowledge about its culture that they do not possess. Educators are often unprepared, or unwilling, to do this, hence the move towards change stagnates, and hostility between the groups festers. To overcome the stalemate appropriate cultural forms of communication between the participating groups must be established. To demonstrate the application of the various theories under review, an inter-organizational conflict situation between the University of Tasmania and the Tasmanian Aboriginal Education Consultative Committee was examined. The reasons leading to the conflict are cited, along with their relevance to theory, and proposals to overcome the obstructions facing each group are delineated. In putting forward these notions there is a realization that closer bonds must be forged between the University and the TAECC if the conflict is to be resolved. To do this it is advocated that the change strategy, Organization Development, be utilized, using outside change agents who are acceptable to both organizations.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of ancestral narratives in the fiction of Thomas Keneally and Christopher Koch. Initially, ancestry in literature creates an historical relationship which articulates the link between the past and the present. In this sense ancestry functions as a type of cultural memory where various issues of inheritance can be negotiated. However, the real value of ancestral narratives lies in their power to aid in the construction of both personal and communal identities. They have the potential to transform these identities, to transgress “natural” boundaries and to reshape conventional identities in the light of historical experience. For Keneally, ancestral narratives depict national forbears who “narrate the nation” into being. His earlier fictions present ancestors of the nation within a mythic and symbolic framework to outline Australian national identity. This identity is static, oppositional, and characterized by the delineation of boundaries which set nations apart from one another. However, Keneally’s more recent work transforms this conventional construction of national identity. It depicts an Irish-Australian diasporic identity which is hyphenated and transgressive: it transcends the conventional notion of nations as separate entities pitted against one another. In this way Keneally’s ancestral narratives enact the potential for transforming identity through ancestral narrative. On the other hand, Koch’s work is primarily concerned with the intergenerational trauma causes by losing or forgetting one’s ancestral narrative. His novels are concerned with male gender identity and the fragmentation which characterizes a self-destructive idea of maleness. While Keneally’s characters recover their lost ancestries in an effort to reshape their idea of what it is to be Australian, Koch’s main protagonist lives in ignorance of his ancestor’s life. He is thus unable to take the opportunity to transform his masculinity due to the pervasive cultural amnesia surrounding his family history and its role in Tasmania’s past. While Keneally and Koch depict different outcomes in their fictional ancestral narratives they are both deeply concerned with the potential to transform national and gender identities through ancestry.

Full text
Abstract:
The thesis consists of two volumes. Volume I comprises work in various areas of mathematical analysis, especially abstract harmonic analysis, differential equations and moment problems. Volume II comprises work primarily in harmonic analysis, especially work on the Fourier transform, invariant linear forms, and associated phenomena. The ideas in this work have had a long period of gestation, although the fuller development and expression of them has occurred over a relatively short and intense period. The dominant ideas emerged in an endeavour to answer the following question: if f is a function in L2(IRn), how can the behaviour of its Fourier transform near the origin of IRn be described and characterized? The corresponding question for the circle group had been given a satisfactory answer by Gary Meisters and Wolfgang Schmidt in 1972, so the work also can be regarded as arising from an attempt to extend their result from the compact case of the circle group to the non-compact case of IRn. The answers presented to these and related questions have implications for other areas of analysis; the notable ones being the ranges of partial differential operators, and the behaviour of some of the singular integral operators of classical analysis.

Abstract:
Contained within this volume are Papers One and Two. Both use as a central structure a quotation from Roland Barthes' book Camera Lucida - Reflections on Photography. The portrait-photograph is a closed field of forces. Four image repertoires intersect here, oppose and distort each other. In front of the lens, I am at the same time: the one I think I am the one I want others to think I am the one the photographer thinks I am and the one he makes use of to exhibit his art.' What the quotation really identifies, is the nature and the deduction of human behaviour that is a determining factor in any portrait process, whether it is photographic, painted or filmic. Paper One, therefore establishes the process where, as a witness to someone's behaviour, we arrive at a deduction that assesses who and what they are - their personality. By appropriating Barthes' quotation, four major areas are investigated: 1) the 'self' we think we are 2) the 'self' we present to others 3) the 'self' interpreted by others (society) 4) the 'self' that is physiognomically determined. By expanding the concerns of Paper One, the second paper examines photographic portraiture and those artists who continue to believe they can reveal the soul - the personality of the sitter. On applying for the Master of Fine Arts Degree, my photographic work had concentrated on those people who suffered from either physical, mental or social handicaps. Of particular importance was a continuing study of degree work with the Royal Derwent Mental Hospital. However, the Higher Degrees Committee was not prepared to support this proposal for reasons of the legal liability it felt might come, as a result of this investigation. Therefore, I sought to re-evaluate the MFA Proposal that would investigate the more general principles of photographic portraiture. Throughout the MFA Degree, considerable time has been devoted to the technical refinement of my photographic practice. This was of considerable importance in the first year of the course, that lead to a greater familiarisation with the zone system, extensive correspondence with Kodak and Ilford and learning something of the techniques of hand colouring. Studio work, about which I knew nothing, was investigated late in this year and became the predominant way of working for the remainder of the course. Whilst a number of subject areas were investigated in this first year ranging from panorama portraits of single women, to the portraits of those who live in the country town of Tunbridge; it was in November of that year that l approached the Church of England. I approached the clergy in an effort to investigate the strategies of show, where there exists an explicit dualism of roles - the man who is at the same time within the institution of the church and the individual outside the church. The concept of the split personality supported by appropriate props is immensely intriguing and at the same time socially poignant, as it begins to question the nature of perception and the strategies of surface. An additional concern of the work was the continuing investigation of photographic portraiture as the photograph becomes a further diversive element in the strategy of surface. Roland Barthes in Camera Lucida identifies it in this way. In front of the camera as subject: I am at the same time the one I think I am, the one I want others to think I am, the one the photographers think I am and the one he, the photographer makes use of as his art. With these thoughts in mind and having gone to considerable effort to organize the clergy who were in support of this project, I was offered a commission for the Legal Practices Building, Hunter Street. I saw there were a number of explicit similarities between the Church and the law fraternity. Both speak of power, wealth or implied wealth, both are institutions that are predominantly conservative in their views and on a more fundamental level, are predominantly concerned with the strategies of the facade - that range from buildings, to ceremonies and the archaic traditions of costume. I therefore appropriated the concerns I had for the clergy for this new opportunity.

Abstract:
Many international declarations affirm the vital role of universities in moving societies toward more sustainable futures. Part of a wider agenda of ‘education for sustainability’ (EfS), universities are tasked with embodying sustainability in their teaching, research, social leadership and operations. Within Australia, universities are now allocating significant resources to define, implement and measure their contributions to sustainability, and are developing associated policies, strategies, plans and activities. To date, little research has examined the assumptions and possibilities that surround this institutional reform, given the heterogeneous nature of the university. In this context, this study addresses the research question: In what diverse ways is sustainability brought into being at the university? I begin with a theoretical analysis of the contested discourse and practice of sustainability in the context of universities. A qualitative social research design involving two case studies at the University of Tasmania is then described before findings are presented and discussed. The methodology is constructivist and based on a dialectical approach to understanding. The study is not intended to uncover any universal truth about what sustainability is or ought to be. Rather, the focus is on how different material and social contexts influence how sustainability is made within the university, an institution central to the history of modernity. First, the emerging university discourse about sustainability is introduced. Second, research on the efforts of Australian universities to enact and embody sustainability is reviewed. Third, a theoretical analysis positions dominant discourses and practices of sustainability in the context of a modernist project that aligns visions of human progress with economic growth and technological efficiency. I then present a thematic analysis of 20 semi-structured interviews drawn from two case studies of the practice of sustainability at the University of Tasmania: the Bike Hub and Source Community Wholefoods (Source). Three central practices and associated themes of sustainability were identified for both case studies. For the Bike Hub, these practices centre on creating a symbol of healthy living, legitimacy within the university, and real-life learning for sustainability. For Source, these practices centre on creating a community co-operative, a countercultural organisation, and a place of experiential learning. These two cases embody divergent understandings of EfS. The Bike Hub is primarily an expression of the modernist project of sustainability linked to the identification of universal solutions to global problems that secure human prosperity. Source is primarily an expression of a radical politics linked to projects of participatory democracy, economic localisation, non-capitalist exchange and voluntary simplicity. The juxtaposition of the two cases studied opens-up wider dynamics, choices, challenges and ambiguities in efforts to realise sustainability within the university. The study’s findings reveal the university as a microcosm of the overall contest between modernist sources of social power and plural sites of resistance in the practice of sustainability. This contest juxtaposes the dualistic constitution of sustainability as an objective, finished truth, with efforts to constitute sustainability as a contextual, contingent good that is made through lived relationships of concern. The study concludes that Australian universities can aid transformation for sustainability by enabling administrators, academics, students, professions and wider society to become critical enquirers into the manifold and contestable processes and embodied practice through which sustainability is brought into being.

Abstract:
The aim of this study was to see whether international students felt safe to live in Hobart, Tasmania. The hypothesis of this study was that some of the international students have obtained a bad impression about their safety and security while they live in Hobart, Tasmania. In order to research this, the study used a survey questionnaire. The survey questionnaire allowed international students to make any comments or give any impressions about their safety and security. The survey questionnaire has been put up on the Survey Monkey website. It does not identify who answered the survey questions. The survey questionnaire was divided into four parts. The four parts of this study were general information, personal safety and security issues, perceptions of safety, and making things safer. The purpose of the survey questionnaire was given broad ideas about how safe the international students. This dissertation provides a review on background literature about the problem and reports the research on the survey. This showed that international students in Hobart are concerned about the issue. The last chapter makes some recommendations.

Full text
Abstract:
Contains essays and documentation of work towards the MFA degree of the University of Tasmania, 1989. The career of South Australian artist Walter Grosser is discussed. His production of stereoscopic photographs is placed in the context of the history of this medium. Scientific investigation of stereoscopic vision up to the present time is summarised, and reasons are sought for the virtual exclusion of the medium from the art world. Although the Arabs may have recognised the importance of binocular vision a thousand years ago, stereopsis was ignored by Western philosophers until Wheatstone's discovery in 1838. Wheatstone's invention of the stereoscope was adapted to photography by Brewster. The device became popular, especially in the United States, where it was developed commercially, importing images, and exporting card-sets and cheap stereoscopes all over the world (including Australia). About 1910, Walter Grosser was struggling to make a living as a commercial photographer in the small South Australian town of Millicent. His commercial work included stereoscopic views but he made also a small opus of unusual and intensely personal work in the medium (illustrated). His photographic production ceased by 1914, probably as a result of wartime anti-German sentiment. After Wheatstone and Brewster, science ignored stereopsis for a century. Research resumed only after the commercial development had virtually ended in the 1930's.. Theories of visual space-perception were based on analogies of camera and range-finder. In 1960 Julesz used computer-generated patterns to show these analogies to be inappropriate. Current theory suggests visual space-perception is achieved by cortical scanning and comparison of the two visual fields. Other 'cue-systems' are usually of secondary importance. The paper ends by suggesting reasons for lack of interest in stereoscopic work such as that of Grosser within the fine arts, and fantasises on connexions yet to be established between stereoscopic photography and holography.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines the impacts of new technology on university library administration as reflected in a case study. The institution chosen for the study is the University of Tasmania Library, which has recently adopted a totally integrated automated library system based on the Library's own mini-computer. The opening chapter introduces the topic, and puts forward five propositions. These include propositions about the use of new technology to reinforce the organization's niche within the parent institution; the role of technology in environmental turbulence and uncertainty; the effects of new technology on routineness, standardization, formalization and flexibility; the structural impacts of new technology; and the human and social impacts upon organization members. The chapter continues with a review of relevant literature, and concludes with a description of the methodology employed. Subsequent chapters consider the University Library in the light of each of the propositions. Two chapters are devoted to the background and particular circumstances of the organization - one on its history, nature and technology, and another on its task environment. The nature of the technology employed by the University Library is then examined in more detail in an attempt to classify it. Perrow's scale of routineness is chosen as a suitable classification scheme, and the effects of automation on the level of routineness of the organization's technology are considered. A tendency towards increased routineness, standardization and formalization is observed, but there is little corresponding loss of flexibility. Rather, new opportunities for creativity and flexible services are noted. Structural impacts of the introduction of automated systems are examined. While the formal structure remains virtually unchanged, there are changes occurring in the informal organization. The results of a survey of organization members indicate that the human impacts of automation generally have been minor, although a small group of employees experiencing loss of job satisfaction and deteriorating social relationships is identified. Finally, the impacts observed in the case study are considered in the context of the particular circumstances of the University of Tasmania Library - its history, nature, technology, environment and management, as described in the earlier chapters - and concludes that these are all contributing factors to the nature of the impacts of the introduction of new automated systems in the particular organization.

Abstract:
Abstract Extinction is inevitable: More than 99 percent of the species that ever lived on Earth are extinct. Until the late 20th century, we relied mainly on paleontologists to uncover the causes, but the accelerating modern loss of biodiversity affords more chances than scientists working with modern species would like to learn about extinction. For amphibians in particular, we are in the midst of an opportunity to study the biology of extinction across an entire vertebrate class, using the sophisticated methods of modern science. But because we are only just beginning to identify the causes of declines and even extinctions, what should we do? Hamish McCallum from the University of Queensland (now at the University of Tasmania) and Menna Jones at the University of Tasmania study the emerging wildlife disease called Tasmanian devil facial tumor disease (DFTD). They raised a similar question about how to proceed if knowledge about the causes of population declines is imperfect. They see DFTD “as a case study of the wider issue of how to manage an emerging disease threat that poses a serious conservation threat: how should you proceed when you know very little?” They go on to point out how the need to make decisions in the face of uncertainty is a question common to many ecological problems. But deferring decisions while waiting for better information often incurs costs and the added burden that control may be tougher or impossible if a pathogen becomes established. Which actions are appropriate to take despite incomplete information?

Abstract:
The presence of marine growth modifies hydrodynamic effects to subsea structures and could lead to incorrect modelling if not properly accounted for. Widely-used design practice codes do not contain any specific guidelines or recommendations to account for the effects of marine fouling on complex subsea structures and due to the desired longevity of oil and gas constructs, considerable amounts of marine biofouling can accumulate. In the experimental investigation described in the paper, the impacts of different marine growth severities, current velocities and current directions on the hydrodynamic drag were carried out in the Flume Tank at the University of Tasmania. A 1:15 scale mid-water arch (MWA) was employed during this investigation. Several marine biofouling severities were tested as well as the structure without marine growth, representing scenarios based on realistic MWA operating conditions. Physical modelling was validated with numerical simulations using computational fluid dynamics. Experimental results gathered show a rise in drag forces when the artificial marine growth is attached. The highest force magnitudes were observed when the marine growth severity was at its maximum roughness. This has been complemented by numerical results, with input parameters coming from 3D scans of the artificial marine growth.

Abstract:
In this paper, a novel idea to produce continuous breaking waves is discussed, whereby a pressure source is rotated within an annular wave pool. The concept is that the inner ring of the annulus has a sloping bathymetry to induce wave breaking from the wake of the pressure source. In order to refine the technique, work is being conducted to better understand the mechanics of surfable waves generated by moving pressure sources in restricted water. This paper reports on the first stage of an experimental investigation of a novel method for generating continuously surfable waves utilising a moving pressure source. The aim was to measure and assess the waves generated by two parabolic pressure sources and a wavedozer [1] for their suitability for future development of continuous breaking surfable waves. The tests were conducted at the Australian Maritime College (AMC), University of Tasmania (UTas) 100 metre long towing tank. The experimental results as variations in wave height (H) divided by water depth (h) as functions of depth Froude number (Frh) and h, together with predictions from both methods, are presented in this paper. Finally, measures of the wave making energy efficiency of each pressure source, and the surfable quality of the waves generated by it, were developed and are presented.

Abstract:
Bulk products such as iron ore and coal are usually shipped directly from shore facilities using large bulk carriers. This often involves significant cost due to major dredging operations, long jetties, large storage sheds and the acquisition of large tracts of coastal land. The costs of direct shore to an ocean-going export vessel (OGV) loading often run into billions of dollars — prohibitive for small- to medium-scale mining operations, particularly in remote regions with only distant access to deep water ports. The current industry standard for mitigating these issues is transhipping; the bulk cargo is transported from a smaller shore based facility to the export vessel moored in deep water by a small feeder vessel. Transhipment, while mitigating many of these issues, does introduce other concerns with respect to limiting seastate, environmentally harmful dust and potential spillage during materials transfer. The Australian company Sea Transport Corporation and the Australian Maritime College at the University of Tasmania are developing new technology for bulk ore transhipment: the floating harbour transhipper (FHT). The FHT is essentially a large floating warehouse with an aft well dock to support material transfer operations from the feeder vessel. The major advantages to the mining export industry are in the form of environmental and economic improvements, in some cases completely avoiding expensive dredging while minimising the environmentally invasive onshore infrastructure. In addition, the whole process is enclosed, therefore eliminating grab spillage and dust transport issues common to other transhipping methods. This paper presents an overview of the main hydrodynamic issues currently being investigated: primarily the interaction between multiple floating bodies close to one another in a seaway. The two primary ship-to-ship interactions that are being investigated are the effects experienced by the feeder vessel when it is docking or undocking within the FHT well dock and the interactions between the three vessels when operating in close proximity in an open seaway. A combination of physical scale model experiments and numerical techniques is employed, with a significant portion of the experimental program dedicated to the validation of the numerical simulation codes used to investigate the behaviour of the vessels. ShipMo3D is an object based library developed by DRDC for the purpose of analysing the seakeeping performance of vessels operating in a seaway in either the frequency or time domain. The capabilities of ShipMo3D are applied to this novel application in an attempt to provide realistic simulations of the interaction between the vessels of the FHT system. DualSPHysics, an open source Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code, is being applied to the domain within the very restricted water environment of the FHT well dock to investigate the fluid flow behaviour and the effect that this has on the feeder vessel when entering/exiting.
