ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to reduce the total resistance of a multi-purpose wind offshore supply vessel by optimising its hull. Resistance was computed using a potential flow boundary element method and a Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations solver. Optimised hull forms were obtained for the ship advancing at different ship speeds under calm water conditions, employing the two multi-objective optimisation algorithms, Non-dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II) and Multi-Objective Simulated Annealing (MOSA). Using NSGA-II yielded slightly larger reductions of total resistances than MOSA. The greatest reductions were achieved at ship speeds between 11 and 14knots. At these speeds, a thinner and longer bulbous bow reduced resistance. At speeds greater than 15knots, a bloated bulbous bow was more helpful to reduce resistance.

ABSTRACT In this study, resistance and propulsion characteristics of the Duisburg Test Case (DTC) Post-Panamax Container Ship were investigated experimentally and numerically. The model scale was different from other studies in the literature. First, resistance experiments with uncertainty analysis were carried out in the Ata Nutku Ship Model Testing Laboratory at Istanbul Technical University. Good agreement was found with other experiments conducted at bigger scales. Then; using the experimental resistance results, self-propulsion point was estimated with a quick methodology recently published in the literature. The study was finalized with numerical simulations of bare hull resistance and self-propulsion tests. Comparisons with other studies having different scales or adopting different methods were made and agreements were satisfactory. Robustness of the self-propulsion estimation methodology was noted, considering its easy implementation and accurate predictions. Resistance experiments and propulsion parameters obtained in this study are expected to form a basis for predicting manoeuvring abilities of DTC.

ABSTRACT Accurate determination of longitudinal stability characteristics of wing-in-ground (WIG) effect vehicles is an essential step in their design. In order to estimate WIG vehicle’s stability, one needs to determine aerodynamic derivatives, including unsteady ones. The latter are very hard to obtain via wind tunnel tests, so traditionally they are expressed via steady derivatives. The method presented in this paper allows calculating unsteady aerodynamic derivatives by means of Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes simulations. The effect of different aerodynamic derivatives on stability characteristics is investigated. It is demonstrated that the decrement is two times greater in case of taking into account the unsteady aerodynamic derivatives calculated according to the presented method.

ABSTRACT Floating offshore wind turbines are a promising concept for expanding offshore wind energy. In comparison with fix-founded offshore wind turbines, the overall costs are less dependent on water depths, which leads to a variety of potential locations and markets worldwide. Furthermore, floating platforms allow for new structural designs with the potential to save material and installation costs. In this paper, a self-aligning platform equipped with a 6 MW turbine is presented. The platform is moored on a single point and uses a turret buoy to be able to rotate freely around its anchor point. A downwind rotor and an airfoil-shaped tower induce self-aligning turning moments to passively follow changes of the wind direction. The first order boundary element method panMARE is used to simulate the motion behaviour considering aerodynamic, hydrodynamic and mooring loads. The self-aligning capability is demonstrated under partial turbine load for steady and dynamic conditions with waves and current.

ABSTRACT For a reliable prediction of the total resistance in ice in an early ship design stage, it is of great importance to have knowledge on the different influencing aspects. Three of the quite poorly investigated aspects of ship resistance in ice are evaluated for a contemporary common ice-breaking ship type with model tests in ice: The different components of the total resistance in ice are investigated by tests in pre-sawn ice. The additional resistance of a skeg in the bow area is analysed with model tests in ice with an instrumented skeg. The ship bottom ice coverage is determined by means of an underwater image analysis methodology. The results of these investigations are given and discussed.

ABSTRACT The hydrodynamic damping estimation of the surge motion and the flow characteristics of a moored semi-submersible floating offshore wind turbine is the focus of this paper. The numerical surge decay tests were investigated using a Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes solver. Solution verification on the numerical simulations was performed by estimation of the numerical errors and uncertainties. A linear stiffness matrix and a non-linear quasi-static mooring model were used in the equations of motion. Several surge decay simulations were performed to understand the effects of wave radiation, coupled motions and non-linear moorings on the hydrodynamic damping and the flow field around the floater. The numerical results were compared with experimental data. The free surface had major effects on the hydrodynamic damping and the flow field.

ABSTRACT During a flooding emergency, the master has to take hard decisions with serious impact on passengers and crew safety. 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.

ABSTRACT Ship speed performance is typically evaluated in the absence of external disturbances. 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.

ABSTRACT This paper presents results of a systematic study on the resistance and speed loss of full type ships in waves. The percentage resistance-increase in waves against experimentally measured calm water resistance data was estimated by use of two alternative empirical formulas, namely one proposed by the authors and the other one as recommended by ITTC. 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.
