In the present study, the CFD method is used to investigate the hydrodynamic behaviour of the ESSO OSAKA model in model-fixed condition in deep and shallow waters by solving RANS equations, which performs steady turning motion with the effect of free surface considered. The governing equations are discretized by the finite volume method (FVM) and the free surface is captured by applying the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Viscous hydrodynamic characteristics and flow fields in a series of cases at different water depths and speeds are investigated respectively. By comparing the numerical results in shallow water with those in deep water, it was found that effects of water depth and free surface are significant on ship’s hydrodynamic forces. The coefficients of drag, lateral force and yaw moment all increase with the decrease of water depth. The drag coefficient in shallow water is about 45% larger than that in deep water. However, effect of water depth on the lateral force coefficient is small, it is about 15% larger in shallow water than that in deep water. While, it has significant effect on the yaw moment coefficient, which is about 25% larger in shallow water than in deep water. And as the water depth increases, the effect of the free surface gradually becomes smaller. Both coefficient of pressure component of drag force and drag coefficient in the present simulation are about 7% smaller than the case without considering the free surface at h/d ≥ 3.0, while that of frictional component is almost the same. When h/d ≥ 3.0, the lateral force and yaw moment coefficients are almost the same as when the free surface is not considered. The error between the present numerical result and the measurements is within 10%, which indicates that RANS method has promising capability to predict the hydrodynamic forces on ships manoeuvring in shallow water.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46239592","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

NOx emissions were measured by using a portable exhaust gas analyser (Testo 350 Marine) in ppm in a dry basis. An in-house program was developed to calculate the final emission results in g/kWh. The main aim of the study is to develop NOx emission factors for recreational boats, which are not specifically included in previous emission factor studies.

This multi-objective optimization with economic and environmental objectives used genetic algorithm for finding the best overall solution in a complex ship energy system design task. The results suggest that adding battery capacity alone contributes very moderately to reducing the case ship fuel consumption and, therefore, carbon emissions. Nevertheless, a combination of steam turbines and organic Rankine cycle units would offer the largest fuel saving potential with the lowest investment cost in the case setup. Also, the main engines’ running hours were of interest.

A fishing vessel is selected as a case study to perform the numerical simulation. A comparison study is conducted between the optimized propellers at different inclination angles of the propeller shaft among different propeller blades. Bar chart and box and whisker plot are the two techniques considered to visualize the computed data. The results conclude that the optimized propeller with a high number of blades and a small inclination angle (2 degrees) can operate at the engine operating point as in a horizontal propeller shaft, which is considered the most efficient from the theoretical point of view.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46975378","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The correlation model considers the interconnections among the subsystems, and the control approach achieves Nash equilibrium solutions. A comparative simulation was carried out between the proposed method and the decentralized model predictive control. The result shows that the proposed method works better than the decentralized one with less fluctuations.

As a result of the calculation, the mean water velocity at bilge main could not satisfy the 2m/s requirement while discharging all the accumulated water from the flooded No. 1 cargo hold with the actual arrangement installed on the 180K class bulk carrier. As a result of the calculation by modified arrangement, it was found that the 2 m/s requirement could be satisfied when a pipe smaller than the required internal diameter according to the rule requirements of classification societies was applied to the bilge main under the same pump conditions. In addition, it was found that the flow rate of the pump should be increased by at least 40% when piping acceptable for the rule requirements of classification societies was applied to the bilge main. The bilge pumping system of 180K bulk carriers may be similar for every ship, and in our opinion, urgent modifications and repair are necessary for consideration of the characteristics of bulk carriers with a relatively high risk of flooding. According to the GBS structure, the rule requirements of classification societies regarding bilge pumping system should comply with the intended purpose of SOLAS Regulation II-1/35-1. It is proposed to revise SOLAS Regulation II-1/35-1 by applying the concept of Performance-Based Standard (PBS) in order to secure the performance of the bilge pumping system by applying a pipe smaller than the required internal diameter according to the rule requirement of classification societies. In particular, it is proposed that SOALS Regulation II-1/35-1.3.9, the requirement for the required internal diameter of bilge main, should be deleted so that any size pipe can be used if the bilge pumping performance can satisfy the 2 m/s requirement. Finally, “2 m/s Criterion” is proposed only design criteria to fulfill the intended purpose of the 2 m/s requirement of SOLAS.","PeriodicalId":50313,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Maritime Engineering","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.4,"publicationDate":"2023-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48498930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The OCX is a vessel-specific standard addressing the information needs of the classification society and is a key enabler to replace traditional 2D class drawings with a 3D model. The successful and seamless exchange of the design models exported from 4 independent 3D CAD systems to the classification society’s rule calculation tool has been demonstrated. The application of the OCX models for the prescriptive rule calculations demonstrates that the OCX model can carry all the information required by the classification society’s Rules for this purpose.
