2. 1. Efficient Full-Scale CFD for Ship Hydrodynamics

   Author : Michal Orych; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; CFD; Self-propulsion; Ship; Verification; Uncertainty; Full-scale; Validation; Seakeeping; Energy-Saving Device; Roughness; RANS;

   Abstract : An efficient numerical approach for ship hydrodynamics, involving a hybrid free-surface potential flow/RANS method, is explored. The work focuses on estimating the delivered power of ships in calm water and in waves, highlighting the benefits of full-scale simulations, particularly for ships with Energy Saving Devices.

4. 2. Methods for the Evaluation of Wingsails with a Crescent-Shaped Profile

   Author : Heng Zhu; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; wind-assisted ship propulsion; rigid wingsail; light weight structure; crescent-shaped profile; wind-assisted ship propulsion.;

   Abstract : Seaborne transportation accounts for a large proportion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has stipulated that GHG emissions should be reduced by 50% before 2050 compared to 2018. The use of wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP) is considered one of the most effective ways to reduce GHG emissions. READ MORE

5. 3. Modeling and Control of EGR on Marine Two-Stroke Diesel Engines

   Author : Xavier Llamas; Lars Eriksson; Gerasimos Theotokatos; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Modeling for control; Ship Propulsion; Dynamic Simulation; Exhaust Gas Recirculation; Mean Value Engine Model; Parameterization; Compressor; Model Extrapolation;

   Abstract : The international marine shipping industry is responsible for the transport of around 90% of the total world trade. Low-speed two-stroke diesel engines usually propel the largest trading ships. This engine type choice is mainly motivated by its high fuel efficiency and the capacity to burn cheap low-quality fuels.

6. 4. Simulation model of a ship’s energy performance and transportation costs

   Author : Fabian Tillig; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; speed optimization; energy efficiency; wind-assisted propulsion.; performance prediction; energy systems model; ship design;

   Abstract : Society faces a major challenge to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to limit the effects and propagation of climate change. As the main contributor to global trade, the shipping industry adds significantly to global greenhouse gas emissions and must actively work towards reducing, or eliminating, emissions in a short period.
