AbstractThis paper presents a procedure for the estimation of propeller effective wakes in oblique flows. It shows how a recently developed method for controlling coupling errors can be applied to analyze propellers operating in off-design conditions. The approach allow...

Abstract Results of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations are reported on a towed fully-appended notional submarine model. Computations are validated against data in the literature, dealing with both global loads and the vortices originating from the sail. The ana...

Large eddy simulations are presented on the wake flow of a notional propeller (the INSEAN E1658), upstream of a NACA0020 hydrofoil of infinite spanwise extent, mimicking propeller–rudder interaction. Results show that the flow physics is dominated by the interaction bet...

Abstract The aim of this work is to analyze the performance of the Overtopping Breakwater for Energy Conversion (OBREC), developed by the team of the University of Campania and installed at prototype scale in the port of Naples. It is a multifunctional coastal structure...

Abstract Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling is a powerful tool to analyze complex hydrodynamics problems like flow around bluff bodies and their interactions including flow separation and reattachments where analytical formulas are not applicable nor reliable....

Large two-stroke marine diesel engines are used as the prime mover in the majority of ocean going commercial vessels and are currently facing new stringent NOx emission reductions. Selective catalytic reduction is an aftertreatment technology which is able to reduce em...

Results are presented of a benchmark and uncertainty assessment study organised by the MARSTRUCT Virtual Institute on global linear wave loads on damaged ship. The study has two aims: to acquire valuable information regarding damage modelling in seakeeping analysis of d...

Abstract The paper addresses the parametric design and multi-objective optimisation of ships under uncertainty, applying the Holistic Optimisation Design Approach. The methodology starts with the creation of a detailed parametric model that captures both the external an...

This paper presents the real-world experience of usage of the LincoSim web application. LincoSim is an innovative web application dedicated to the design process of hulls by means of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) runs and is developed and tested within the EU funde...

Today digital technologies offer great opportunities in the field of Cultural Heritage (CH). After a general overview of the European policy documents on CH digitisation, the paper aims to reflect on tools, procedures and methodologies in the use of Information and Comm...
