A fast and reliable time domain simulation of the progressive flooding process can significantly aid the master in choosing the right counteractions immediately after the damage occurrence. In last decades many methods to simulate progressive flooding have been developed with increasing precision, but most of them require too much computational effort being not suitable for a direct onboard application. This paper presents a novel quasi-static simulation technique capable to provide accurate results in a reasonable calculation time. The analytical solution of the linearised system of governing differential equations allows to extend the time step over the intrinsic limits of numerical integration methods without affecting accuracy. The approach has been compared with numerical integration of non-linear system of equations and a recent pressure correction technique on a box-barge test case available in the literature.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1558564","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46715444","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, speed performance data obtained in full-scale trials are corrected to obtain speed performance with no external disturbances by eliminating disturbance effects due to wind, waves and current. This correction is called the speed trial analysis of ships. In this paper, a speed trial analysis method named as the power-based Taylor expansion method (PTEM) is presented, in which added resistance caused by an external disturbance and current velocity are not required. To verify this method, virtual speed trial data are generated theoretically for various current velocity conditions with constant wind, and the PTEM is applied to eliminate external disturbance effects from virtual speed trial data. Correction results are compared with known true results. The correction accuracy using the PTEM is sufficient even for varying current velocities with short periods. Furthermore, the PTEM is applied to the speed trial analysis of four full-scale tankers of the same hull form. The scatter of the correction results using the PTEM is smaller than that using other existing methods. The PTEM is useful as a speed trial analysis tool because it does not require external disturbance data.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-06-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2019.1633777","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44960258","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}

The obtained results clearly show that the percentage resistance-increase and the associated (involuntary) speed loss are strongly dependent on ship’s absolute size, loading condition and the operating seaway conditions and they can be satisfactorily quantified. This should be taken into account in the ship design process, when determining the sea margin for the selection of the machinery and propulsion system, when analysing sea trials and/or when preparing scaled model experiments to assess ship’s performance in realistic seaway scenarios.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2019-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2019.1613294","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43496722","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 combination allows selecting the best option out of a pool of available vessels, vehicles and aircrafts. Additionally, the FEF is based on the classical ship merit factor and thus capable of comparing different fleet compositions according to their economic efficiency, by describing the efficiency in a simple factor.

RANS computations for the container ship DTC in calm water and in regular waves of diverse lengths coming from several directions have been used to determine all coefficients of the mathematical model in the showed sample application.

The ship survivability is analysed based on requirements for a sufficient reserve stability. The proposed method is demonstrated with a large passenger ship design. Based on the detailed investigation of the results, the effects of various design changes are studied. Furthermore, the impact of waves on the flooding process is studied.

Results obtained from the present study reveal a significant increase of the additional inertia and resistance forces when reducing the distance to the wall.

In order to accurately predict the hydrodynamic characteristics of these propellers in real operating conditions, the structural deformation must be accounted for, which leads to a fluid-structure interaction problem. In the present paper, a partitioned solution approach for such a strongly coupled two-field problem is presented. Owing to the separate modelling of the fluid and the structural problem in such approaches, specialised numerical methods can be applied on either side. Thanks to their superior convergence properties, we use high-order finite elements to discretise the structural problem. On the fluid side, a boundary element method, which is specifically designed to simulate the hydrodynamic behaviour of ship propellers is employed. In order to stabilise the solution procedure, different coupling algorithms and convergence acceleration methods are investigated.","PeriodicalId":51883,"journal":{"name":"Ship Technology Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2018-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/09377255.2018.1542782","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47424485","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}
