... A comparative analysis is performed between the numerical calculations and the measurements carried out on board regarding noise and vibration levels on passenger ships. Based on the comparison, the accuracy of the results obtained with the numerical calculations is assessed and discussed...

... The relevant issue with monitoring and measuring ship performance is the measurement of speed through the water. In 2016 an ADCP was mounted on a US Navy ship for the purposes of a hull monitoring program. At the onset of the program a baseline trial was completed to both determine the clean...

... Dynamic global hull girder response is an important part of the structural design of a ship, especially one with significant length and bow flare. Experimental studies were conducted at the University of New Orleans’ towing tank where a segmented model of a containership was tested in head seas...

.... John s, Newfoundland, CANADA ABSTRACT This paper looks at developing a numerical model of a ship and its tow system as the tow system is winched in during high sea states. The focus is on the vertical plane dynamics with the ship and tow system moving at constant heading and constant speed. The goal...

... appended commercial container ship type hull and an instrumented model of a North Atlantic right whale were conducted at a range of ship speeds, whale positions, and orientations. Accelerations experienced by the whale model were recorded and analyzed to measure the severity of collisions, and the danger...

... The paper discusses some of the more complex cavitation structures that have been encountered in full-scale ship practice and the integration that has been observed to occur between the various substructures of the cavitating regimes. Some comparison with model scale studies is made. The paper...

... The measurement of ship-generated waves in tow tanks has been well established and several techniques have been developed and are commonly in use at tow tank facilities worldwide. The measurement of the wave field around a full-scale ship in the field has only recently been undertaken. Each...

... the interaction of the propeller with the hull when the ship is underway e.nd is an important element in determining the propulsive performance of a vessel. The reduced pressure field created by the propeller at the stern of a. ship effectively increases the ship's resistance. The naval architect treats...
