Availability, reliability and economic sustainability of naval propulsion plants are key elements to cope with because maintenance costs represent a large slice total operational expenses. Depending on the adopted strategy, impact overall expenses can remarkably vary; for example, letting an asset running up until breakdown lead unaffordable costs. As matter fact, desideratum is progress technology ship systems from or preventive more effective condition-based approaches. The central idea in...
The application of unsteady incompressible flow phenomenon over the bluff bodies has received attention many researchers due to rich and complex physics underpinning these flows, thus requiring special in their modelling numerical simulations. wake that forms at leeside body is particular interest. Reynolds number geometry are turn two prominent parameters govern formation subsequent behaviour this wake. This paper reviews formations for different cylindrical cross-sections such as circular,...
Abstract Methanol is a promising alternative fuel, which can assist in reducing emissions heavy-duty dual-fuel (DF) compression ignition (CI) engines. In medium and large bore marine engines, DF operation achieved through either direct injection (DI) or port fuel (PFI) of methanol with diesel acting as DI pilot for ignition. However, the presents significant challenge due to its high latent heat vaporization decreased lower heating value (LHV) compared diesel. Therefore, same energy content...
A large deployment of energy storage solutions will be required by the stochastic and non-controllable nature most renewable sources when planning for higher penetration electricity into mix. Various have been suggested dealing with medium- long-term storage. Hydrogen ammonia are two frequently discussed as they both carbon-free fuels. In this paper, authors analyse cost efficiency hydrogen ammonia-based pathways storage, transportation, final use excess from an offshore wind farm. The...
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has recently discussed the introduction of a new design index called Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII), which is measure total carbon dioxide emissions divided by amount cargo carried and distance travelled on one-year basis. In this study, authors have analysed cruise ship assuming its size, electrical thermal power required, operative profile. CII calculated with reference to 180,000 GRT equipped different possible plant configurations....
The advancements in digital twins when combined with the use of machine learning tools can facilitate effective health assessment and diagnostics safety critical systems. This study aims at developing a framework to address marine engines utilising based on first-principles. follows four distinct stages, former two including engine digital-twin set up by customising required thermodynamic models, as well its calibration using tests trials data representing healthy conditions. In third stage,...
Meeting climate and air quality targets, while preserving the focus on reliability cost-effectiveness of energy, became a central issue for offshore wind turbine engineers. Floating turbines, which allow harnessing large untapped resources in deep waters, are highly complex coupled systems. Subsystem-level optimisations result suboptimal designs, implying that an integrated design approach is important. Literature saw few attempts multidisciplinary analysis optimisation floating with varying...
Abstract. The dynamic behaviour of Floating Offshore Wind Turbines (FOWT) involves complex interactions multivariate loads from wind, waves, and currents, which result in motion characteristics. Although methods for analysing global responses are well-established, the time- location-dependent kinematics remain underexplored. This paper investigates Instantaneous Centre Rotation (ICR), a point zero velocity at time instance general plane motion. Understanding strategically positioning ICR can...
