A novel modal analysis methodology, denoted as the physics informed sparsity-promoting dynamic mode decomposition (pi-SPDMD) model, was introduced for the reduction and reconstruction analysis of intricate propeller wake flows, aiming to provide insight into the inherent flow structures spanning diverse temporal and spatial scales. Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) was employed to numerically model the wake dynamics of a four-bladed propeller, providing a comprehensive resolution from the proximate to the distant wake regions. The findings indicate that the pi-SPDMD model enhances the efficiency of the sparse-promoting algorithm, producing modes that gravitate towards stability, and the resulting decomposition maintains commendable physical fidelity. Integrating the results from the LES solution and the modal decomposition of pi-SPDMD, the tip vortex exhibits a uniform topological configuration with notable coherence in the proximate domain. In this region, the large-scale vortex is the dominant feature of the propeller wake, and there is a marked intermittency in the turbulence. In the mid-field, the tip vortex system transitions into fine-scale vortices, rapidly diminishing in coherence due to the onset of elliptic instability and subsequent secondary vortex generation. As the tip vortex structures related to physical quantities become fully discretized, the small-scale turbulent patterns quickly intermingle, leading to a more homogeneous distribution in the distant wake.
为对复杂的螺旋桨尾流进行还原和重构分析,引入了一种新的模态分析方法,称为物理信息稀疏性促进动态模态分解(pi-SPDMD)模型,旨在深入了解跨越不同时空尺度的固有流动结构。研究采用大型埃迪模拟(LES)对四叶螺旋桨的尾流动力学进行数值建模,提供了从近尾流区域到远尾流区域的全面分辨率。研究结果表明,pi-SPDMD 模型提高了稀疏促进算法的效率,产生了趋于稳定的模式,由此产生的分解保持了值得称道的物理保真度。综合 LES 解算结果和 pi-SPDMD 的模态分解结果,尖端漩涡呈现出均匀的拓扑结构,在近域具有显著的一致性。在该区域,大尺度涡是螺旋桨尾流的主要特征,湍流具有明显的间歇性。在中场,尖端涡旋系统过渡到细尺度涡旋,由于椭圆不稳定性的出现和随后次级涡旋的产生,相干性迅速减弱。随着与物理量相关的尖端涡旋结构完全离散化,小尺度湍流模式迅速交融,导致远处尾流的分布更加均匀。

To investigate the flow field characteristics of full-scale ships advancing through confined waters, the international standard container ship (KRISO Container Ship) was considered as a research object in this study. Using the RANS equation, the volume of fluid method and the body force method were selected to investigate the hydrodynamic characteristics of a model-scale ship (the model-scale ratio λ=31.6) and a full-scale ship advancing through confined waters at low speed. A virtual disk was used in the full-scale model to determine the influence of the propeller on the ship’s flow field. First, the feasibility of the numerical calculations was verified. This proves the feasibility of the numerical and grid division methods. The self-propulsion point of the full-scale ship at Fr=0.108 is determined. The calculation cases of model-scale and full-scale ships (with or without virtual disks) at different water depths and distances between the ship and the shore were calculated, and the changes in the hull surface pressure, the flow field around the ship, and the wake fraction near the ship propeller disk in different calculation cases were determined and compared. The variations in the surge force, sway force, and yaw moment between the model- scale and full-scale ships were generally consistent. In very shallow water (H/T=1.3), the non-dimensional force and moment coefficients for model-scale ships increase more rapidly with decreasing distance from shore, suggesting that using model-scale ships to investigate the wall effect in very shallow water will result in predictions that are biased towards safety. By comparing full-scale ships with and without propellers, it was discovered that the surge force, sway force, and yaw moment were marginally greater in the propeller-equipped ship due to the suction effect, and the accompanying flow before and after the propeller was slightly smaller, with less asymmetry.

A small modular autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) offers several benefits including enhanced mobility, cost-effectiveness, compact and portable structure, and small size. This paper proposes a comprehensive design and implementation approach for a small modular AUV, named as ARMs1.0, utilizing cutting-edge 3D printing technology. The main cabin shell of the AUV features a modular design and is manufactured using 3D printing technology. The control module and sensing equipment are installed in a sealed compartment. To achieve forward, pitching, and yawing motions, the AUV is equipped with ducted propeller and four independent rudders. The modular approach in AUV design has been implemented, considering both the main cabin shell as well as the subsections and segments of the AUV. Additionally, a centralized control system architecture design is developed based on the specific tasks of the AUV. The composition and functions of key units are described in detail, and an autonomous depth-tracking control strategy is formulated. Based on the experimental results for AUV motion in horizontal and vertical planes, including autonomous depth tracking tests, the ARMs1.0 AUV demonstrates the capability to successfully perform required maneuvering tasks. The designed small modular AUV has achieved accurate depth tracking, precise heading following and exhibits excellent maneuverability.

Tsunami wave characteristics are greatly influenced by the initial water level when they attack structures. In this study, experimental and numerical investigations were conducted to investigated the relationship between tsunami wave characteristics and initial water levels. Results showed that, the wave height, wave velocity, and Froude number increase with the increase of tsunami wave intensity; the time history of water levels were influenced by the different initial water level conditions; the analytical solution proposed by Chanson (2005) may be extended to wet-bed conditions (for initial water level < 0.36 tsunami bore height in our experimental set-up). Due to the limitations of experimental ranges in the laboratory, the validated numerical model can provide more results for wider experimental ranges for tsunami bore investigations. It was observed from numerical results that, tsunami bore height increases with the increase of reservoir water level; tsunami bore velocity decreases with the increased initial water level on the bed; as the initial water level on the bed gradually increases, the mean tsunami bore Froude number shows a downward trend.

Along with developing high-speed craft technology, the planing hull is growing with modifications for better performance. One such technology is stepped hull, both single and double. Planing hull with steps allows the boat to run at a relatively low drag-lift ratio with lower frictional resistance due to reduced wetted area. In this study, the hull was modified with variations in the position of the double steps, which aimed to determine the effect of the first and second step positions on the total resistance, dynamic trim, and dynamic sinkage generated by computational fluid dynamics (CFD). Based on the analysis results, variations in the position of the stepped can change the hull performance. Shortening the distance between the two steps and moving both rearwards toward the transom can lower the total resistance. The dynamic trim and dynamic sinkage decreased as the position of the two steps was shifted further forward. An equation created in a non-dimensional form relates the positions of two steps to the desired results of total resistance, dynamic trim, and dynamic sinkage, namely: {(x1-x2)/L + (x1x2)/(LB)} × Fr∇, where x1 is distance the first step from transom, x2 is the distance of the second step, L is the length of the boat, B is the beam of the boat, and Fr∇ is the volume Froude number.

Until recently, the selection of ballast water treatment (BWT) systems was based on a predetermined set of criteria that did not include evaluations for system utilization due to lack of experience. The experience-building phase for the systems began, especially with the entry of the Ballast Water Management Convention into force. For effective assessment and decision-making, the evaluations of expert seafarers responsible for using ballast water treatment systems on-board ships are of paramount importance. This study was completed by evaluating the experience and evaluations of 50 expert seafarers (24 deck personnel and 26 engine personnel) working in a Turkish maritime company in three phases to contribute to the decision-making and system evaluation processes: 1- The failure reports written by the ship personnel of the maritime company were examined, and bilateral interviews with expert seafarers working on these tankers were held; 2- an online questionnaire was prepared and presented to seafarers; 3Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to obtain a common perspective of the seafarers. In this study's first phase, 'ideal system characteristics' were determined. Based on these characteristics, an online questionnaire was prepared in the second phase of this study and presented to seafarers. In the third phase, a set of six criteria was developed, and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to obtain the common perspective of 50 participants. Pairwise comparisons revealed that ‘Rare alarms and malfunctions’ was the most important criterion from the perspective of all seafarers and UV-type BWTSs were 1.76 times more preferable than the electrochemical (El-Chem) type BWTSs as a common approach.

Shipbuilding is acknowledged as an uncertain, complex, and unique industrial effort that yields massive products consisting of numerous parts and is vulnerable to unexpected events. The industry is also dominated by customer requirements through designs tailor-made for a specific ship. Planning in shipbuilding is therefore considered a formidable process. Consequently, many studies have been conducted to develop a planning framework for the industry to efficiently handle planning process. Yet none of these studies are deemed substantial enough to be regarded as holistic, straightforward, well-accepted, and compatible with the nature of shipbuilding. This study is therefore an important contribution by presenting a novel, hybrid, and integrated general-purpose planning framework applicable to all shipbuilding processes. The novel method exploits historical ship construction scheduling data, synthesizing hierarchical planning, dynamic scheduling, and discrete-event simulation, which is validated through an empirical study in this paper.

The high-temperature exhaust gases and the hot surfaces of the ejector device in marine gas turbines generate significant levels of infrared radiation. An appropriate nozzle structure can effectively lower the exhaust gas temperature and reduce the high-temperature radiation surface area, thereby minimizing external infrared radiation. In this study, a numerical simulation of the nozzle structure in the ejector device was conducted using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods. By investigating the orthogonal combinations of nozzle inclination angles and the number of nozzles, the temperature distribution and flow characteristics under different operating conditions were analysed. The results showed that as the nozzle inclination angle increased, the entrainment coefficient (Ce) and the temperature ratio at the inlet and outlet (Rt) initially improved but then worsened. Simultaneously, the pressure loss coefficient (Cpl) increased with the inclination angle. The CRITIC weight method was employed to objectively allocate weights to Rt, Ce, and Cpl, determining the optimal solution. The results indicated that Rt and Cpl had significant and similar weights. The optimal solution was found in Case 10 (α = 5°, x = 4), with corresponding evaluation indices of Ce=2.38, Cpl=11.45, and =0.68. This study's findings are of great importance for enhancing the performance of marine gas turbines and reducing external infrared radiation.

A novel quantitative analysis employing the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) of containership traffic in the Black Sea from 2018 to 2021 is performed. The study uses a matrix covering five ship size classes from A to E for four years of operation, from 2018 to 2021, accounting for ship traffic, CO2, fuel consumption (FC), shipping intensity, and eco and traffic efficiency. Only the first two principal factors are analysed because of their total variation weight. Shipping intensity, FC intensity, and CO2 intensity plays a significant role in the first factor, while Eco efficiency, FC efficiency, and Traffic efficiency are considered for the second factor. Notably, the set of parameters pertains to time and is strongly associated with DWT. Two principal components were identified, F1 and F2, where F1 integrates efficiency and intensity. At the same time, F2 separates the intensity from the efficiency conditional on the ship size and the year of operations. In the principal component F1 the activities of ships A and C differ from B, D and E, separating more efficiently from less efficiently used ships, and in F2, the activities of class sizes of ships C and D and E contrast A and B ships, distinguishing the big-size class ships from small ones. It was concluded that the most intensively used ships are the ship size classes C and D, and the most efficient are ship size classes A and B. The most intensive use of the ships was in 2020, followed by 2021, and the most efficient were in 2018, 2019. Based on the ship activities and using the Within-class variance, ships are grouped into two clusters of similar activities, where the first one, with lower variance and more homogeneous, includes only the ship size class A. The second one with a relatively large variance consists of the rest size of the ships. Linear relationships considering the intensity and efficiency are derived as a function of the main variables, where the factor loading represents the variable’s coefficient, given as a relative weight to any factor.

Linear relationships considering the intensity and efficiency are derived as a function of the main variables, where the factor loading represents the variable’s coefficient, given as a relative weight to any factor.","PeriodicalId":55594,"journal":{"name":"Brodogradnja","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2023-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48615509","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}
Based on combing the concept and development of intelligent ship, this paper brings forward the summary and classification of intelligent ships proposed by different institutions, and the main classification schemes are compared accordingly. Then one of these classification schemes is selected to study what are the key navigational risks under each grading level, with a detailed analysis of these risk factors. Finally, the index system of navigational risk factors for intelligent ships under different classification standards is constructed to lay a foundation for a further study of intelligent ship safe navigation, and at the same time avoid some risk factors in advance for the maritime management department, ship management companies, and ship design and research institutes.
