For marine uses, applications include shaft and propulsion coupling bolting as well as on anchoring and positioning bolting often required for most line shaft bearings, thrust bearings, and steering gears. Both a Finite Element Method (FEM) study and a shear test were recently performed to confirm superior load carrying ability as compared to standard fitted bolts. Further, results of these tests, installation / removal time comparisons, and calculated costs savings are presented here for consideration.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"109 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114902838","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Offshore vessels also use oil lubrication in the azimuth thrusters. Oil leakage from the thrusters is a serious environmental issue in these vessels. In this paper, a water-soluble, environmentally preferable lubricant newly developed for such thrusters is outlined. Properties required for a thruster lubricant and a suitable base fluid are discussed. Environmental compatibility (biodegradability, low toxicity and no sheen or sludge formation), viscosity, lubricity, oxidation stability, rust prevention and seal compatibility of the new lubricant are described. These properties show that for tunnel and azimuth thrusters the new lubricant can improve not only their environmental compatibility but also their seawater tolerance. Field experience of the thruster lubricant is also presented.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115068924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A boundary element method is developed to simulate the unsteady performance of moving and stationary hydrofoils interaction in 2-D. The wakes of the two hydrofoils are determined in time by applying a force-free condition on each wake surface. The results of the present method are compared with those from viscous flow calculations in 2-D, by using a commercial RANS solver (FLUENT) on the same 2-D hydrofoil set-up and conditions. The effect of the unsteady rotor/stator interaction is studied. The method then is extended in 3-D to calculate the unsteady trailing wake of propeller flow, and validated with experimental data.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127085413","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Other suppliers are following suit including the Cummins Mercruiser Zeus system. Pod propulsion offers benefits like increased efficiency, better performance, nimble handling, and low noise levels while allowing more people to successfully operate their vessel due to a friendly operator interface. Features of these commercial pod systems that also benefit builders include ease of installation and the integral underwater exhaust which helps to meet CE requirements, for both exhaust and noise levels.\u0000 Both IPS and Zeus are fully integrated pod propulsion systems. Existing vessels can be retro-fitted with these systems while many new vessels are being designed specifically for IPS or Zeus. Donald L. Blount and Associates provides consulting in regards to IPS integration with existing and new designs and has also been involved with designs employing the Zeus system.\u0000 The first portion of this paper discusses pod drives, particularly IPS itself. (Because the author has substantially more experience and background with IPS, much of the information herein is IPS specific). General information on IPS and Zeus is offered as well as some operational specifics. The paper then focuses on the application of pod drives in existing and new vessel designs. The discussion includes how hull forms can be evaluated for use with pod drives. A look at the integration of pod systems into various types of pleasure boats (cruiser, day boat, fishing yacht, etc) is also covered including the challenges which exist for each specific vessel type.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114613920","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Towing basin tests were conducted for the measurement of hull surge force and side forces at static (fixed) hull yaw angles of 0, 1, and 3 degrees at four ship speeds, ranging from 20 to 36 knots. Side force and yaw moment data were analyzed in terms of the standard linear sway force and yaw moment derivative coefficients Y'v and N'v. These play a role in ship controls-fixed maneuvering factors. It is shown that the maneuvering factors for the waterjet-propelled case differ by as much as 20% and 25% from the bare hull values for the sway- and yaw- derivative coefficients, respectively.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128516298","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Different bolting methods and their requirements have been further defined. This includes fitted bolts, non-fitted bolts and combinations thereof. For fitted bolts, the term fitted has now been defined as “The accuracy of fit is to be zero or negative clearance” or similar, requiring a verified zero to interference fit. The theoretical requirements and submittals for non-fitted bolt have been further defined as well. These new requirements will result in either larger connections or require coupling bolts that can achieve the required interference fit in a verifiable way. Traditionally, fitted bolts that require an interference fit have been installed after being cooled down with CO2 or liquid nitrogen. There are concerns about this practice due to the rapid temperature change and its effect on the bolt material. There is also the problem of how to remove a bolt fitted with an interference fit without damaging flange holes and bolts, especially after being in operation for some time. Fortunately there are established and new solutions to these updated requirements such as expandable bolts that both create the required fit and are easily removed .The alternatives also include solutions where the flanges are removed and removable couplings are used.\u0000 The paper will discuss the design, maintenance and operational aspects of these rules and the different solutions.","PeriodicalId":108275,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Wed, September 16, 2009","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124806854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
