By optimizing the ferries’ power allocation between the stern and bow engines, the Decision Support System (DSS) will simultaneously attempt to keep the ETA of the ferry fixed under a set of operational constraints using the Bayesian optimization. Its objective is to minimize fuel consumption along individual trips. Based on simulation environment, the DSS can reduce at maximum 40 % fuel consumption with no significant change of the ETA.

The 2D-CNN model with three processing branches is utilised for further feature extraction and signal judgement. To train the method, Simulated target signal dataset is obtained through the submarine wake magnetic anomaly simulation model, and the simulated original signal is acquired by stacking measured noise. The proposed method exhibits great detection performance for signals with different Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs) and various types of noise, achieving a recognition accuracy of 90 % for signals with SNRs above -10dB.

Changes in condensing and evaporating temperatures induced by variations in heat resources affect the efficiency of cycles with pure working fluids.

In addition, the impact of the ejector on the cycle's performance is examined. Finally, the efficiency-improving strategies are described and summarized.

In light of the convolutional neural networks’ (CNN) success in computer vision tasks, this paper proposes a novel sea surface reconstruction method from marine radar images based on an end-to-end CNN model with the U-Net architecture. Synthetic radar images and sea surface elevation maps were used for training and testing.

The influence of training data on the deep learning model was also studied. Additionally, the impact of the significant wave height and peak period on the CNN model’s accuracy was investigated.

Current methods, such as that using wave probes, have shown limitations in measuring the wave evolution around structures in laboratories. In this study, an improved stereo imaging method is proposed for measuring the wave evolution around a fixed structure. Regular wave tests were conducted on a fixed surface-piercing square column in a wave flume to validate the reliability and accuracy of the proposed method. A flexible marker-net made of foam particles was arranged around the column to provide Lambertian features for the water surface. Two synchronized stereo imaging systems covered all the surrounding areas of the column and provided stereo pair sequences for wave evolution. Subsequently, image segmentation techniques were used to mask the low-confidence disparities in stereo matching, and finally, three-dimensional (3D) wave surfaces were reconstructed in the time sequence. The time histories of the wave elevations at particular locations were extracted and agreed well with the measurements of wave probes with an average bias of 2.4%. Subsequently, the reconstructed 3D wave field was sliced, exhibiting the instantaneous profiles that agreed with the measurements of wave probes. Moreover, the wave run-up height ratios were consistent with those of a previous study, thereby verifying the method's accuracy from the perspective of spatial evolution. The results demonstrated that the proposed method was capable of precisely measuring the spatial-temporal evolution of the wave field around the square column and displayed potential for application in more studies on wave-structure interactions.","PeriodicalId":48514,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Ocean Engineering and Science","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135708005","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
