1. Towards Accurate Numerical Methods for Ship Flows on Composite Overlapping Grids
Abstract : Numerical methods are presented that are designed to make accurate ship-flow computations more feasible. One method concerns the automatic generation of high-quality computational grids. It treats the grids as competing individuals in a population, where an individual's fitness is based on a measure of grid quality. READ MORE

2. Turbulent ship wakes and their spatiotemporal extent
Abstract : Shipping activities occur in almost every part of the global oceans and in intensely trafficked shipping lanes there can be up to one ship passage every ten minutes. All these ships impact the marine environment in different ways through pollution or physical disturbance. READ MORE

3. Characterising turbulent ship wakes from an environmental impact perspective
Abstract : The world’s oceans, especially coastal areas, are intensively trafficked by ships. All these ships exert pressure on the marine environment, through emission to the atmosphere, discharges of pollutants to the water, and physical disturbance through energy input. Of these impacts, energy pollution from shipping has received the least attention. READ MORE

4. On Turbulence Modelling for Bilge Vortices: A Test of Eight Models for Three Cases
Abstract : This work is a test, in three steps, of turbulence models for the calculation of the flow field around ships. Eight models ranging from k-e and k-w models to a Reynolds-stress model (RSM) are tested. READ MORE

5. Numerical Investigation of Ship Responses in Calm Water and Regular Head Waves
Abstract : In order to design fuel efficient ships and install right machinery onboard, ship designers need to know the interaction effects between hull, propeller and appendages in realistic operating conditions. Neglecting the interaction effects may result in under/over-prediction of the required power. READ MORE
