A benchmarking study is carried out concerning wave-induced ship motions in shallow water, predicted with commercially available codes AQWA, GL Rankine, MOSES, OCTOPUS, PDStrip and WAMIT. Comparison made experiments for three cargo models tested at Flanders Hydraulics Research. The same IGES of the hulls were used all to ensure consistent representation model geometry. comparisons may be assess suitability each code zero-speed applications such as berthed under-keel clearance, well...
During the last decade ship sizes have been increasing but fairways these ships are sailing seldom expanded at the same rate. As a result restricted dimensions of increasingly influence vessel’s hydrodynamics. The vicinity banks induces forces and moments so ship’s bow will be pushed away from closest bank, resistance sinkage change lateral force act on her. All hydrodynamic phenomena, so-called bank effects, adversely modify manoeuvring behaviour. At Towing Tank for Manoeuvres in Shallow...
Purpose: To develop a sailing ergometer that accurately simulates upwind exercise. Methods: A measures roll moment accompanied by biofeedback system allows imposing certain quasi-isometric protocol (ie, 18 bouts of 90-s hiking at constantly varying intensity interspersed with 10 s to tack) was developed. Ten male high-level Laser sailors performed an incremental cycling test (ICT; ie, step 80 W + 40 W/3 min) and (UST). During both, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO 2 ), ventilation (V E...
This paper describes a numerical model to simulate the behavior of mussel longline system, subjected environmental loads such as waves and current. The line system consists an anchor, mooring chain, long backbone line, collector lines buoys. lumped-mass open-source code MoorDyn is modified for current application. Waves are modelled directional spectrum, homogeneous velocity field with exponential vertical distribution. A Coulomb implemented horizontal friction between nodes seabed....
Abstract Ultrasound image velocimetry (UIV) is a technique that enables non-intrusive whole-flow field measurements in opaque fluids. It gained interest experimental fluid dynamics to study the flow mechanics of, amongst others, sediment-laden Further customisation of this required make it reliable asset for research involving high density cohesive sediments (fluid mud). Potential applications include rheological or settling experiments serving nautical on interaction between ship, water and...
