Contrary to the conventional hull form design practice in terms of the calm-sea performance, the hull form design in this study was aimed at improving the performance of a ship under in-service condition, which is closely associated with the added resistance due to waves. In order to reduce the added resistance due to waves, the bow hull form was modified to have sharper entrance with increased length between perpendicular. This enabled the waves to follow the bow part more smoothly. The added resistance of the developed hull was predicted by means of a series of CFD simulations in regular waves with wavelengths <span><math><mrow><mrow><mi>λ</mi><mo>/</mo><msub><mi>L</mi><mrow><mi>p</mi><mi>p</mi></mrow></msub></mrow><mo>=</mo><mn>0.5</mn><mo>∼</mo><mn>2.0</mn></mrow></math></span>. The added resistance at irregular waves was calculated by frequency integration. The Daily Fuel Oil Consumption (DFOC) was subsequently calculated based on the wave statistics on the operating route. The significance of the present study lies in the point that the performance evaluation was carried out by means of the free-surface CFD simulation in the presence of regular waves. Final performance verification was made through a series of model tests. The resulting DFOC and daily CO<sub>2</sub> emission for the optimal hull form under the in-service conditions was found to be reduced by 7.65%.

For deep-water cables with complex configurations, the structural responses become more complicated due to their non-uniform structural properties. Because the distributed buoyancy modules along cable length might introduce more significant local bending segments. Moreover, the impacts of moving boundary, caused by the motions of top vessel and bottom mining vehicle, should be considered. Through combing the finite element simulations with the hydrodynamic models, the dynamic response analysis approach of ultra-deepwater cables is established in this study. Then the double-stepped cable responses, including axial tension, displacement along with the change of overall configurations caused by moving top vessel and bottom mining vehicle, are calculated. Moreover, wave propagation behaviors during cable response are comprehensively examined, and the influences of non-uniform structural properties on cable response and wave propagation are analyzed using the wave propagation theory of structure with axially varying properties based on the Bessel function. The results show that the presented double-stepped cable can provide suitable configurations during the dynamic response, which has good compliance performance and can effectively buffer its response caused by moving boundary excitation. Finally, we found that the response spatial-temporal evolutions present some interesting phenomena, such as the axially non-uniform characteristics lead to non-monotonic changes in response amplitude and wavelength, with local peaks occurring in the low-tension region, owing to the distributed buoyancy modules, along with axially-varying and discontinuous structural properties. And, there exists significant mixed effect coming from both standing waves and traveling waves.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100546"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2092678223000353/pdfft?md5=236a9986fcc0d876b200cdd0d3e9e418&pid=1-s2.0-S2092678223000353-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43108223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Unfortunately, current real-world data presents a significant disparity between predicted and actual gathered energy consumption results. Thus, this research aims to develop an approach to accurately predict total dynamic Energy Consumption (EC) using real operation voyage data for the improved early-stage design of future yachts. A Grey-Box Modelling (GBM) solution combines: physics-based White-Box Models (WBM); and Black-Box Model (BBM) artificial neural networks to provide estimations with high accuracy and improved extrapolation capacity. The study utilizes ten months of onboard continuous monitoring data, hindcasted weather, and voyage information from a <em>Feadship</em> fleet yacht. Upon applying a sequential modelling methodology, predictions are compared between the three model categories, indicating propulsion and auxiliary estimates fall within 3% and 7% error of operational conditions. The study is then continued using external range datasets to evaluate the extrapolation potential. While GBM improvements are seen over the BBM, limitations were directly related to the strength between dynamic WBM input-output correlations. Ultimately, GBM's have the potential to improve both accuracy and extrapolation ability over existing WBM and BBM's; however, much is dependent on the strength of the input-output relationships.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":14160,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering","volume":"15 ","pages":"Article 100484"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49275471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
