Bank effects refer to the suction and repulsion forces a ship experiences when sailing near a bank. Recently, various factors have driven the ...

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of rolldecay tests are performed for roll amplitudes in the range 2o a o of the KRISO Container Ship ...

This paper presents the mathematical model used in MARIN’s time domain software to describe the hydrodynamic loads excited by a rudder. The paper ...

The design process of motor yachts mainly relies on the experience of designers, who have confidence in the knowledge acquired from designing units ...

This paper presents a method that can predict the load variations on propellers of ships that are maneuvering in waves. A two time-scales approach ...

Low transverse metacentric height and high speed are peculiar destabilising factors in ship manoeuvrability according to the attainable large ...

This paper presents an overview of an experimental and numerical campaign for a test-case ferry. The study consisted in captive model tests, free ...

Due to the complexity of the physics in shallow water and lack of benchmark, more insights are needed to derive accurate mathematical models for ...

The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of the manoeuvre prediction of a twinshaft naval vessel by means of a time-domain simulator based ...

Free running manoeuvring model tests are one of most used model tests to quickly assess the manoeuvrability of a ship. The results of these tests ...

This paper gives the results of free running model tests for the KVLCC2 in shallow water. The paper describes how free running model tests in ...

Free fall lifeboats have been developed for emergency evacuation from offshore installations, when conventional means of transportation cannot be ...

The purpose of a free fall lifeboat is to evacuate people from platforms in case of emergency, and when other, normal means of evacuation, are not ...
