Computational modelling of free surface flows for offshore applicationMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 3 - Trang 113-122 - 2007
Murray Rudman, Paul W. Cleary, Matthew D. Sinnott, Todd Sylvester
In this paper we discuss the fundamentals of techniques that can be applied to numerically model fluid flows with interfaces. Application of these methods is especially relevant to the impact of waves on offshore structures and ships, but they can more generally be used to model any situation including the effect of tsunamis on on-shore structures, the release of large volumes of gas from undersea...... hiện toàn bộ
VIV control and drag reduction with no moving partsMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 3 - Trang 87-93 - 2007
Antonio C. Fernandes, Fabio M. Coelho, Ricardo Franciss
This paper presents a new passive VIV (Vortex Induced Vibrations) suppression device that also leads to drag reduction. The device uses the guided porosity concept and is applied in experimental tests conducted for low mass ratio cylindrical models. It is shown that the transversal VIV amplitude is reduced. It is also shown that there is a simultaneous reduction of the drag forces in contrast with...... hiện toàn bộ
Important trends and junctures in warship designMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 15 - Trang 135-150 - 2020
Simon Reay Atkinson, Christopher J. Skinner, Keith F. Joiner, Nicholas H. M. Caldwell, Ahmed Swidan
Concerns about risks associated with new conceptual designs of surface warships have led many decision-makers to rely on the parent-design approach. For example, the design of the Oliver Hazard Perry Class (FFG-7) became the standard of surface warship design for 71 subsequent vessels in three Navies, e.g. Australia, Spain and Taiwan, even though the FFG-7 was initially considered under-armed and ...... hiện toàn bộ
Design improvement of flapping hydrokinetic turbinesMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 15 - Trang 175-187 - 2020
Benarfaoui Arfaoui, Bouzaher Mohamed Taher, Belhi Guerira
This investigation deals with the flow control and the enhancement of the output power of a flapping foil turbine. The connected gurney flap (GF) is a small arc that oscillates with a given pitching angle. The incompressible laminar flow around a simple flat plate equipped with an oscillating gurney flap is solved using a computational method. A user-defined function and a coupled layering/sliding...... hiện toàn bộ
Numerical investigations of micro bubble drag reduction effect for container shipsMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 16 - Trang 199-212 - 2021
Mohammed Gamal, Mohammed Kotb, Ahmed Naguib, Khaled Elsherbiny
In the course of the most recent decades reduction of ship resistance and saving fuel consumption to accomplish higher speed with reduction of pollutants has been the significant subject for researchers. Micro bubble drag reduction technique is one of the most interesting thoughts in this field owing to its great advantages, such as considerable potential drag reduction, easy operations, environme...... hiện toàn bộ
Effect of turbulence intensity on the linear quadratic control of spar buoy floating wind turbinesMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 16 - Trang 84-98 - 2021
Roberto Luiz da Cunha Barroso Ramos
This paper evaluates the performance of a linear quadratic (LQ) optimal controller designed for a spar buoy floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) considering different wind turbulence conditions. To account for the uncertainty in offshore wind turbulence intensity (TI), three levels of TI are adopted in the above rated wind speed region. The TI levels of 15%, 11% and 5% are based on an internation...... hiện toàn bộ
A Non-Linear Mathematical Model of Higher Order for Strong Parametric Resonance of the Roll Motion of Ships in WavesMarine Systems & Ocean Technology - Tập 1 - Trang 69-81 - 2005
Marcelo A. S. Neves, Claudio A. Rodríguez
Non-linear equations of ship motions in waves describing the couplings between heave, roll and pitch are investigated. A third order mathematical model is introduced, aimed at describing strong parametric excitation associated with cyclic changes in the ship restoring characteristics. A derivative model is employed to describe the coupled restoring actions up to third order. Non-linear coupling co...... hiện toàn bộ
