Lt. Governor James R. “Duke” Aiona, Jr. 

Presented to the 28th International Conference On Ocean Offshore And Arctic Engineering 

May 31–June 5, 2009 

On behalf of the people of Hawai‘i, we send our personal 

greetings of aloha to everyone participating in 

the 28th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore 

and Arctic Engineering at the Sheraton Waikīkī Hotel. 

Organized by the American Society of Mechanical 

Engineers, the Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering 

Division of the International Petroleum Technology 

Institute and the University of Hawai‘i, this conference 

serves as a forum for researchers, engineers, managers, 

technicians and students from around the world to

—Linda Lingle 

Governor, State of Hawai’i 

—James R. “Duke” Aiona, Jr. 

Lieutenant Governor, State of Hawai’i

Welcome from Conference Chairs 

Aloha! 

On behalf of the OMAE 2009 Organizing Committee, 

it is a pleasure to welcome you to Honolulu, Hawaii 

for OMAE 2009, the 28th International Conference 

on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering. This is 

the first conference with the new name, which reflects 

the expanded focus of the OOAE Division and the 

conference. 

OMAE 2009 is dedicated to the memory of Professor 

Subrata Chakrabarti, an internationally known 

offshore engineer, who passed away suddenly in January. 

Subrata was the Offshore Technology Symposium 

coordinator, and he was also the Technical Program 

Chair for OMAE 2009. He was involved in the development 

of the OMAE series of conferences from the 

beginning, and his absence will be sorely felt. 

OMAE 2009 has set a new record for the number 

of submitted papers (725), despite an extremely 

challenging economic environment. The conference 

showcases the exciting and challenging developments 

occurring in the industry. Program highlights include 

a special symposium honoring the important accomplishments 

of Professor Chiang C. Mei in the fields 

of wave mechanics and hydrodynamics and a joint 

forum of ‘Offshore Technology’, ‘Structures, Safety 

and Reliability’ and ‘Ocean Engineering’ Symposia on 

Shallow Water Waves and Hydrodynamics. We believe 

the OMAE 2009 program will be one of the best ever. 

Coupled with our normal Symposia, we will also have 

special symposia on: 

• Ocean Renewable Energy 

• Offshore Measurement and Data Interpretation 

• Offshore Geotechnics 

• Petroleum Technology 

We want to acknowledge and thank our distinguished 

keynote speakers: Robert Ryan, Vice President–Global 

Exploration for Chevron; Hawaii Rep. 

Cynthia Thielen, an environmental attorney who has a 

special passion for ocean renewable energy; and John 

Murray, Director of Technology Development with 

FloaTEC, LLC. 

A conference such as this cannot happen without 

a group of dedicated individuals giving their time and 

talents to the conference. In addition to the regular 

symposia coordinators, the coordinators of the special 

symposia deserve many thanks for their efforts to organize 

new areas for OMAE. We also want to express our 

appreciation to Dan Valentine, who stepped into the 

Technical Program Chair position on very short notice, 

following Subrata’s passing. We also want to thank Ian 

Holliday and Carolina Lopez of Sea to Sky Meeting 

Management Inc., who have done a great job with the 

organization. Thanks also go to Angeline Mendez from 

ASME for the tremendous job she has done handling 

the on-line paper submission and review process. 

Honolulu is one of the top destinations in the world. 

We hope that you and your family will be able to spend 

some time pre or post conference enjoying the island 

of Oahu. Whether you’re learning to surf in legendary 

Waikiki, hiking through the rich rainforests of Waimea 

Valley, or watching the brilliant pastels of dusk fade 

off of Sunset Beach, you’ll find variety at every turn 

on Oahu. 

Mahalo nui loa,

Welcome from Technical Program Chair 

Welcome to the 28th International Conference on 

Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 

2009). This is the 28th conference in the OMAE series 

guided by and influenced significantly by our friend 

and colleague, Subrata K. Chakrabarti. It was a shock 

for me to learn that he had passed away so suddenly; 

all involved with this conference express sincere 

condolence to his family, friends and colleagues (the 

sentiments echoed by all of us are eloquently expressed 

in the dedication included in this program). It is a great 

honor for me to have been asked to continue his work 

on this conference. I and our community will miss his 

leadership and friendship greatly. Although this series 

of conferences was formally organized by ASME and 

the OOAE Division of the International Petroleum 

Technology Institute (IPTI), it was Subrata’s skill and 

dedication to this division of ASME that made this 

series of conferences the success that it has been and is 

today.

The papers presented at OMAE 2009 are divided 

into thirteen symposia. They are: 

• SYMP-1: Offshore Technology 

• SYMP-2: Structures, Safety and Reliability 

• SYMP-3: Materials Technology 

• SYMP-4: Pipeline and Riser Technology 

• SYMP-5: Ocean Space Utilization 

• SYMP-6: Ocean Engineering 

• SYMP-7: Polar and Arctic Sciences and Technology 

• SYMP-8: CFD and VIV 

• SYMP-9: C.C. Mei Symposium on Wave Mechanics 

and Hydrodynamics 

• SYMP-10: Ocean Renewable Energy 

• SYMP-11: Offshore Measurement and Data 

Interpretation 

• SYMP-12: Offshore Geotechnics 

• SYMP-13: Petroleum Technology 

The first eight symposia are the traditional symposia 

organized by the eight technical committees of 

the OOAE Division. The other symposia are specialty 

symposia organized and encouraged by members of 

the technical committees to focus on topics of current 

interest. The 9th symposium was organized to recognize 

the contributions of Professor C. C. Mei. Symposia 

10, 11, 12 and 13 offer papers in the areas of renewable 

energy, measurements and data interpretation, 

geotechnical and petroleum technologies as they relate 

to ocean, offshore and polar operations of industry, 

government and academia. 

The first symposium, Symposium 1: Offshore Technology 

was always Subrata Chakrabarti’s project. It 

was typically the largest of the symposia at OMAE. His 

exemplary work on this symposium provided the experience 

and guidance for others to continue to develop 

the other symposia. Symposium 1 in conjunction with 

the OMAE series of conferences is Subrata’s legacy. The 

Executive Committee has a most difficult yet honorable 

task of finding a successor to carry on this important 

annual symposium in offshore engineering. We are all 

grateful for the inspiration and encouragement provided 

to all of us by Subrata. 

Please enjoy the papers and presentations of OMAE 

2009.

Clarkson University, Potsdam, New York 

OMAE 2009 Technical Program Chair

Welcome from OOAE Division 

Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OOAE) Division 

of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers 

(ASME) is focused on both scientific and technical 

interests related to the better understanding of environmental 

loading, hydrodynamic behavior, materials selection, 

structural strength, offshore geotechnics, safety 

and in-service performance of ships, floating units and 

subsea equipment, mainly associated with the oil & gas 

industry. More recently, challenges imposed by climate 

change have motivated a new initiative on ocean 

renewable energies from waves, tides and currents and, 

also, on innovative solutions for offshore wind energy. 

The OMAE Conference is widely recognized as the 

main international event that brings together academia, 

industry and regulatory institutions to exchange 

experiences on relevant subjects in the interest of the 

ocean engineering activities. The international approach, 

characterized by the diversity of both technical 

interests and regional themes, has gained the recognition 

as providing an outstanding environment to learn 

from each other. The conference provides a forum 

for better interaction between field experience and 

research activities. The quality of the papers has motivated 

the ISI Web of Knowledge to consider the OMAE 

Conference as one that deserves special attention from 

the scientific community. 

In addition to the eight traditional symposia, 

Offshore Technology, Structures, Safety & Reliability, 

Materials, Pipeline & Riser, Ocean Space Utilization, 

Ocean Engineering, Polar & Arctic Sciences and Technology, 

CFD & VIV, there will be five special symposia: 

Wave Mechanics & Hydrodynamics (in honor of Prof. 

Chiang C. Mei), Offshore Renewable Energy, Offshore 

Measurement & Data Interpretation, Offshore 

Geotechnics and Petroleum Technology. Three short 

courses taught by world-renowned experts will be 

offered in Ice Engineering, Wave Energy and Vortex- 

Induced Vibrations. 

Special thanks to the Conference Chairs, R. Cengiz 

Ertekin and H. Ronald Riggs, and to the Technical 

Program Chair, Daniel Valentine, who put together 

a very interesting program for this one week event. 

Thanks also to the International Advisory Committee, 

the local organizers, the symposium coordinators, the 

session organizers, the authors of the papers and the 

distinguished audience. 

OMAE 2009 will be dedicated to our dear friend 

Subrata Chakrabarti. He contributed continuously for 

more than two decades to the OOAE Division and during 

this period, coordinated the Offshore Technology 

Symposia of the OMAE conferences. 

On behalf of the OOAE Division of ASME, I would 

like to welcome you to OMAE 2009, which will be held 

in a beautiful location, in which the most challenging 

aspects related to ocean, offshore and arctic engineering

of Professor Chiang C. Mei in the fields of wave 

mechanics and hydrodynamics. Professor Mei has been 

one of the leaders in these fields. His former and current 

students and colleagues will join us to celebrate his 

extraordinary accomplishments of the last 45 years. 

Ocean Renewable Energy Symposium 

This is the third year that a specialty symposium is 

being organized to specifically focus on ocean renewable 

energy developments and challenges. There is a 

growing worldwide demand to increase the supply 

of renewable energy and the world’s oceans offer the 

resources to meet these goals. However, to exploit the 

potentials offered by ocean energy resources, various 

regulatory and technology challenges must be 

addressed by the engineering and scientific communities. 

The objective of this Symposium is to provide a 

forum for the presentation of relevant information and 

views on regulatory and technology issues to enhance 

the exploitation of ocean renewable energy resource. 

Offshore Measurement and Data Interpretation Symposium 

This symposium is now entering its third year. The 

focus is metocean and structural response measurement, 

in the complex and hostile environment of the 

real ocean. Interpretation of these data furthers the 

understanding of metocean processes and how they 

should be characterised for engineering applications.

3rd Annual Outreach for Engineers 

“The (2007 Outreach to 

Engineers) program was 

excellent. I learned a lot 

from the sessions, and am 

considering working in this 

industry in the future as a 

result.” 

—Comment from a 2007 

Outreach attendee. 


3rd Annual Outreach for Engineers 

Overview 

The worldwide demand for energy has placed increasing 

pressure on industry to find new sources for 

energy, both traditional hydrocarbon reserves and new 

alternate forms of energy. Although industry is pursuing 

all of these alternatives, there is an acute manpower 

shortage of technical personnel to fill the needs of this 

growing industry. Exciting career opportunities for 

engineering students and early professionals can be 

found throughout the world. 

To provide senior engineering students and early 

professionals an introduction to an exciting profession, 

the ASME Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering 

Division (OOAE) of the International Petroleum 

Technology Institute (IPTI) is hosting the 3rd Annual 

specialty forum “Outreach for Engineers” at the 2009 

International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and

specialty forum is designed as an introduction for 

new graduates and early professionals who may not be 

familiar with the industry. 

Highlights of the Forum will include presentations 

of the various technologies required (e.g. from geosciences 

to mechanical/structural engineering and project 

management), types of job opportunities and career 

paths, as well as site tours. There will be opportunities 

to discuss your situation with engineers, managers and 

human resources professionals from some of the leading 

companies in the industry 

Additionally, Outreach for Engineers Specialty 

Forum delegates will be provided with the opportunity

Tribute to Subrata Kumar Chakrabarti 

Subrata Kumar Chakrabarti 

In this occasion of remembrance of our friend Subrata, 

first we extend our sincerest condolences to his wife 

Prakriti, daughter Sumita, son Prabal and granddaughter 

Sajni. Like his family, his friends and colleagues 

in the OMAE community are deeply shaken by this 

great loss. He was kind, considerate, friendly, but his 

hallmark was a great smile, and his greatest virtue was 

his humility. He possessed a keen love to teach and 

to share his shining intellect, and we are so blessed to 

have had the opportunity to serve with such a cordial 

human. He inspired us by setting a great example how 

to serve our profession by loving and working with 

people of different origins, religions, and cultures. He 

loved his native Bengali culture, music, and the works 

of the Bengali poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath 

Tagore. 

Subrata received his B.S. degree in 1963 from 

Jadavpur University (India) and his M.S. and Ph.D. 

degrees in 1965 and 1968 from the University of 

Colorado. He had a 20-yr career at Chicago Bridge & 

Iron (CBI) in Plainfield (Illinois) as Director of Marine 

Research, followed by a career in consulting and a 

member of the College of Engineering faculty at the 

University of Illinois in Chicago. He lectured at many 

universities, has written 7 books on offshore engineering, 

numerical modeling in fluid-structure interaction, 

hydrodynamics and vibrations, and authored over 125 

refereed and over 75 conference papers. He gave an 

enormous amount of his time and energy to our profession 

by organizing international conference series 

such as the OMAE Offshore Symposia. 

His participation on numerous editorial boards 

included service as: 

• Technical Editor, America, Applied Ocean Research, Elsevier, 1998-2009. 

• Associate Editor, Ocean Engineering, Elsevier, since 2006. 

• Technical Editor, JOMAE/ASME, 1986–96. 

• Co-Editor, Proc., Fluid-Structure Interaction,WIT, vol. I, 2001, vol. II, 2003. 

• Associate Editor, Applied Ocean Research, Elsevier, 1991–98.

• Co-Editor, Proceedings, OMAE, ASME, 1985–2004. 

• Publication Committee Member,WPCOE, ASCE, 1978–1984. 

• Member, Editorial Board, Advances in Fluid Mech. Series, 1993–2008. 

Subrata K. Chakrabarti 

1941–2009 

He was “Fellow” of the American Society of Civil 

Engineers, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 

and American Association for the Advancement of 

Science, and a member of the National Academy of 

Engineering. His awards included: 

• James Croes Medal, ASCE, 1974 

• Freeman Scholar, ASCE, 1979 

• Outstanding New Citizen, Chicago, 1981 

• Ralph James Award, ASME, 1984 

• OMAE Achievement Awards, 1988, 90, 91 

• OMAE Distinguished Services Award, 1998 

• ASME Life-time Achievement Award, 2005 

We take comfort in his works and our memories as 

we will miss Subrata. In the words of Subrata’s admired 

Tagore: “Death is not extinguishing the light; it is only 

putting out the lamp because the dawn has come.”

Challenging wind and waves 

Linking hydrodynamic research to the maritime industry 

MARIN advises the international maritime 

industry on ship behaviour and offshore structures at sea. We provide hydrodynamic 

advice, verified by model tests, computer simulations, simulator training and full-scale measurements. 

The MARIN Offshore department is involved in the development of all kinds of innovative offshore structures 

operating at large water depths (even up to 3000 m) under extreme conditions like hurricanes. Our Offshore Basin is over 

10 m deep (besides a 30 m deep pit for TLPs) and has the latest current and wave generation technology. Further we develop and 

apply our own simulation software. MARIN’s test facilities and simulation programs are considered state-of-the-art by our customers (oil 

companies, offshore contractors, engineering offices, shipyards and port authorities). But most important is the knowledge and motivation 

of MARIN’s 280 employees. At our Wageningen and Houston offices we are always looking for enthousiastic: 

PhD/MSc students 

For (PhD/MSc) students we regularly have interesting internships in the broad field of Offshore hydrodynamics. You can co-operate with our specialists in this fields for a period 

of 6 to 12 months. For more information about our department, see www.marin.nl. Our Offshore department consists of 25 enthusiastic and committed colleagues (2 located at 

our Houston office) who carry out the projects in close and informal co-operation with our clients. Our employees have their background in Naval Architecture, Civil Engineering, 

Mechanical Engineering, Mathematics or Applied Physics. 

• Have you acquired an MSc or PhD in a technical field, or working on it as a student? 

• Are you prepared to keep developing yourself in a technically challenging environment? 

• Would you like to solve and report complex problems in order to help our customers with clear and sound advice? 

• Are you talented combining theoretical insight with practical organisational skills? 

• Could you share our fascination for waves, currents and the behaviour of offshore structures? 

MARIN can offer you a challenging internship in the field of offshore hydrodynamics with a possibility to become one of our future collegues, either in the Wageningen or Houston 

offices. For further information please contact Bas Buchner (Manager Offshore, b.buchner@marin.nl) or Arjan Voogt (Manager MARIN USA Inc, a.j.voogt@marin.nl).
