This paper addresses the bidirectional multi-chamber lock scheduling problem by formulating a multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model that simultaneously minimizes average ship waiting time and maximizes chamber utilization. A tailored adaptive large neighborhood search (ALNS) algorithm is developed specifically based on the principle of the destruction and reconstruction of solutions. The algorithm effic...

Water channel experiments were conducted to investigate the influence of aspect ratio (H/D = 0.9–1.9) on the flow-induced motion (FIM) and hydrokinetic energy conversion performance of an elastically mounted circular cylinder with T-shaped attachments (Cir-T-Att). The results indicate that the aspect ratio critically governs the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) to galloping transition by modulating the effective angle of attack....
