PREFACE
An important ingredient of education at the Ph.D. level is the reporting of the original scholarly and intellectual content of the research conducted by the candidate for the degree. Thus the Link Foundation asks that each recipient of a Link Foundation Fellowship prepare and submit a journal length article resulting from their work under the Link Foundation sponsorship. The Link Foundation believes in this discipline and has decided to complete this process by the formal publication of these papers in a single volume.
The current fellowship programs are in the fields of energy, simulationtraining and ocean engineering and instrumentation. The Energy fellowships have been offered since 1983 and the papers of these fellows have been published in a series of fifteen volumes from 1986–2000 under the title “Research Reports of the Link Energy Fellows.” Simulation-Training fellows have submitted research papers since the inception of the program in 1990; these papers have been published informally until 2000. Finally the program in Ocean Engineering and Instrumentation was launched in 1998. Starting with Volume 1 in 2001, the research papers of the Link Foundation Fellows are published together in three part volumes. Volume 3 is presented here and contains eleven papers submitted by the 2001–2002 Fellows.
The Link Foundation is pleased to have been able to support the students represented here. The work reported covers a wide variety of research topics carried out at leading universities and colleges.
