Such a layout is typical for a harbour environment. The unsteady nature of the cross section leads to peak values in forces, sinkage and free surface deformations. Experimental tests were conducted by Flanders Hydraulics (with the co-operation of Ghent University). Numerical contributions involve three potential flow methods (Strathclyde University and Pinkster Marine Hydrodynamics) and one RANS method (Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute of Germany). All methods are capable of qualitatively predicting the water level variations and sinkage and trim of the vessel. RANS has a better capability of predicting the unsteady sway force and yaw moment acting on the ship including sinkage and trim, but it comes at a much higher computational cost.KEYWORDS: Unsteadyharbourbenchmarkhydrodynamicspotential flowRANSEFDship-bank Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"101 20","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135136267","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}

One major problem limiting the performance of rudders is flow separation at high deflection angles. In this paper, we address this problem using active flow control, a technique first proposed in aerodynamics. A small scale and a large-scale rudder model with realistic geometry were manufactured and equipped with an active flow control system employing the method of pulsed blowing. The actuation system was extensively characterized. Towing tank experiments were conducted up to a Reynolds number of 1.33×106. Data included force measurements for the large-scale model and flow field and force measurements for the small-scale model. The impact of the active control on the flow fields around the small-scale model was characterized. The delay of the flow separation towards a higher angle of attack, accompanied with an increase of the maximum lift forces, was demonstrated for both models.KEYWORDS: Active flow controlship rudderseparation controlfluidic oscillatortowing tankparticle image velocimetry AcknowledgmentsWe express our thanks to Johannes Will for fruitful discussions on the particulars of rudder design.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis project was supported by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Action [grant number 03SX496E].","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"82 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135272867","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}

This paper proposes a new power prediction method based on minimizing a normalized root mean square error (NRMSE) defined by comparing the results of the power prediction model with the ship in-service data for a given vessel. The result is a power prediction model tuned to fit the ship for which in-service data was applied. A general cargo ship is used as a test case. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated in different scenarios with the artificial neural network (ANN) method and the traditional power prediction models. In all studied scenarios, the proposed method shows better performance in predicting ship power. Up to 86% percentage difference between the NRMSEs of the best and worst power prediction models is also reported.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"83 11","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135271772","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}

Therefore, there exists a natural ground for transferring dimensionality reduction methods from UQ to GO. These enable the efficient exploration of large design spaces in shape optimization, which, in turn, enable global optimization (possibly in a multidisciplinary and stochastic setting). The paper reviews and discusses recent techniques for design-space dimensionality reduction in shape optimization, based on the Karhunen-Loève expansion (equivalent to proper orthogonal decomposition and, at the discrete level, principal component analysis). An example is shown and discussed for the hydrodynamic optimization of a ship hull.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"170 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136381902","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}

Four acceleration intensities and two water depths are modelled using the CFD and potential flow methods. The results show a pronounced peak in resistance exists near the critical depth Froude number, but its location and magnitude are sensitive to the acceleration intensity and water depth. Excellent agreement between the results obtained from the CFD and potential flow methods is found in the low and high depth Froude number ranges regardless of water depth or acceleration, indicating that linear and unsteady methods can provide robust results at a low cost in those ranges. The magnitude of the resistance peak and its position are sensitive to nonlinear effects, evidenced by slight disagreements between the two adopted methodologies. The variation in the results produced by the two solvers is found to be sensitive to the parameters investigated.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135741928","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}
