The present paper describes the design concept and specifications of a hydrofoil model to be actually tested for flutter experimental analysis at CNR-INM Institute of Marine Engineering towing tank in Rome. The design procedure is the result of concurrent application of numerical and analytical approaches: CAD models are used for geometrical modelling and mass properties calculations, FEM is employed to calculate model stiffness, natural frequencies and verify model strength, and Theodorsen analytical approach is implemented to predict flutter velocity. Theodorsen approach allows calculating the flutter condition as a function of physical parameters as geometries, mass and stiffness, assuming two-dimensional, incompressible aerodynamic coefficients and sinusoidal harmonic motion at flutter instability condition (zero damping condition). As first step, the authors built a broad literature review upon past flutter experimental experiences in both air and water flow focusing on the troubles linked to the increase of flow density and viscosity, the technical issues to be considered when designing the flutter model and setting up experimental campaigns. Most of the flutter experimental campaigns reported in the literature deal with high mass ratio models as aerofoils operating in light, low viscosity fluids; less common are experimental reports about low mass ratio models as light hydrofoils. The design a dynamical scale of a hydrofoil model, flutter-tested in 1971, chosen as main reference. The model is designed to encounter flutter at a speed compatible with the range of velocity imposed by the water tank facilities. The combination of design parameters is optimised to meet facilities speed range, construction issues and Theodorsen approach application field.

. A data-driven and equation-free approach is proposed and discussed to model ships maneuvers in waves, based on the dynamic mode decomposition (DMD). DMD is a dimensionality-reduction/reduced-order modeling method, which provides a linear finite-dimensional representation of a possibly nonlinear system dynamics by means of a set of modes with associated oscillation frequencies and decay/growth rates. DMD also allows for short-term future estimates of the system’s state, which can be used for real-time prediction and control. Here, the objective of the DMD is the analysis and forecast of the trajectories/motions/forces of ships operating in waves, offering a complementary efficient method to equation-based system identification approaches. Results are presented for the course keeping of a free-running naval destroyer (5415M) in irregular stern-quartering waves and for the free-running KRISO Container Ship (KCS) performing a turning circle in regular waves. Results are overall promising and show how DMD is able to identify the most important modes and forecast the system’s state with reasonable accuracy upto two wave encounter periods.

Cross-flow turbines (CFTs) are arousing a growing interest to harvest both off-shore wind and tidal currents. A promising characteristic of CFTs could be a high power-density in case of multi-device clusters or farms, achievable by shortening the distance between arrays as allowed by the fast energy recovery observed inside the wakes. However just few studies, only concerning symmetrical airfoils/hydrofoils, are found in literature. By means of 3d-URANS simulations and the momentum budget approach we investigated the effects of blade profile and turbine solidity on blade tip vortex generation and then on the mixing mechanisms supporting the reintroduction of streamwise momentum into the wake. Results indicate that: (a) a pair of counter-rotating vortices occurs in the wake at the turbine top and bottom ends, which rotation verse depends on blade profile and it is such as to generate positive vertical advection for camber-out profiles, but negative vertical advection for camber-in profiles; (b) camber-out profiles are much more effective in supporting the wake energy recovery due to the massive vertical advection induced by tip vortices; (c) for camber-in profiles the tip vortices poorly contribute to the wake recovery, that appears delayed and promoted by turbulent transport; (d) higher solidity implies stronger tip vortices and higher turbulent transport, therefore a faster wake recovery.

. The design, construction and evaluation of a test platform to test the International Moth class in real world conditions was undertaken with the aim to investigate the effects of altering the value of the proportional control coefficient on flight modes to provide data for further numerical simulations. Through consultation with industry, technical experts and reviews of literature, a design was produced that allowed foils to be tested over a range of velocities, foil configurations and control systems that would be free to move in pitch and heave, however constrained in roll, yaw, sway and surge. The rig with the degrees of freedom can be seen below in Figure 1. Improvement of an existing electronic ride control system (ERCS) allowed the test moth to be able to fly at a range of depth to chord ratios along with the capability to change the respective flight modes with varying amplitudes. Ultimately, it was concluded that in a real-world environment the differences in drag between the range of values tested resulted in no serious measurable performance gains despite significant motion variations. However, it was apparent that small relationships formed and that it is essential for more research to be conducted in order to validate the data. The rig developed provides an easily accessible method for testing control algorithms in a real-world environment without the need for complex sailing configurations. The rig also allows cheap ways of tuning a system that is ripe for full on-water implementation.

. Numerical method to simulate the motions of the floating body coupled with the tank liquids inside of the floating body using the overset grids method is developed. An in-house structured CFD solver which is capable the moving grid technique and overset grids method is utilized. The governing equations are 3D Navier-Stokes equations for the incompressible flow. Artificial compressibility approach is used for the velocity-pressure coupling. Spatial discretization is based on a finite-volume method. An interface capturing method based on a single phase level set approach is employed to simulate the liquid surface. Lateral regular waves are generated in the regions inside of the computational domain. The motions of the floating body are introduced by solving the motion equations and the hydrodynamic forces of the tanks are treated as the external forces in the motion equations. The computational grids of the floating body and tanks deform with the motions using the moving grid technique. The weight values for the overset-grid interpolation are determined by an in-house system which is based on Ferguson spline interpolation. The present method is applied to the condition with the floating box which has the 4 tanks inside and the lateral incoming regular waves. The overset grids are composed by the grids of the floating box, 4 tanks and background rectangular grid which generates the lateral regular waves. The amplitudes of the motions of the floating box are compared with the measured data and the present results show the features changing with the wave length ratio which are strongly affected by the liquid fluids inside of the tanks. The free surfaces around the floating box and inside of the tanks are indicated, and the interactions between the floating box and the liquid fluids of the tanks are revealed.

This paper describes the research performed within the scope of H2020 project NICESHIP in the development of suitable thermo-mechanical framework to analyse composite structures under fire loads. The framework couples the thermo-mechanical model that is detailed in the paper with the Fire Dynamics Simulator (FDS) in order to obtain the adiabatic temperature needed as input for thermal model. The thermo-mechanical model uses the adiabatic temperature to estimate the temperature profile across the thickness of each quadrilateral shell element and also takes into account the pyrolysis effect. The composite constitutive model employed is the so-called Serial/Parallel Rule of Mixtures (SPROM) and has been modified to take into account the thermal expansion. Finally the thermo-mechanical model is validated against two literature tests and then the developed framework of fire collapse analysis is illustrated by a marine real application of a fire case scenario in the superstructure of a containership where steel and FRP divisions are analysed.

Flow and air-entrainment around a surface piercing circular cylinder has been investigated experimentally and numerically. In water tunnel experiments, high speed video observations were made for surface piercing flow around a circular cylinder of 150 mm in diameter. Surface pressure measurements were also carried out at nine points around the cylinder. Flow velocity was from 1.5 to 3.0 m/s. The high-speed video observations showed that a pair of air pocket was formed on the side of the cylinder, and bubbles entrained into the air-pockets are shed downstream. The depth of the air-pocket fluctuated in a frequency range lower than the typical Karman vortex frequency. For numerical study, unsteady motion of air-entrainment process was simulated by an MPS method with some corrections to pressure calculation. The MPS calculation reproduced the dynamics of the air-pockets on the side of the cylinder. The time-variation of the predicted air-pocked depth also showed low-frequency fluctuations as observed in the experiment.
