Abstract

The papers entitled “Investigation of a semi-submersible floating wind turbine in surge decay using CFD”, “Self-aligning behaviour of a passively yawing floating offshore wind turbine”, “Model scale investigation of aspects influencing the ice resistance of ships sailing ahead in level ice”, and “A partitioned solution approach for the simulation of the dynamic behaviour of flexible marine propellers” were also presented at the 1st Ship Technology Research Conference on the Status of Maritime Research held in Hamburg on 28th and 29th June 2018. The conference which takes place every other year serves as a platform for the exchange of the latest research results, with a view to making these available on an international basis.
