These accidents are sometimes caused by equipment malfunctions and sometimes due to lack of personnel knowledge and experience. One of the regions that frequently have problems during operations is the maneuvering areas of the ships. In this study; the problems experienced during the maneuvers of the ships and the...Go to contribution page

Prof. Damir Kolich (University of Rijeka)Structural design & production technologyPaperMany shipyards use the classical submerged arc welding (SAW) or metal active gas (MAG) welding technologies during the assembly of ship panels. However, since the advent of applying advanced hybrid laser arc welding in avant-garde shipyards, it is expected that other shipyards will eventually apply this new technology. Since panel assembly is one of the core production areas in any shipyard,...Go to contribution page

Dr Andrea Rocca (university of Trieste)Numerical & experimental hydrodynamicsPaperWe study hydrodynamics of a fully appended submarine using numerical simulations. First, we solve the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations, and successively we use Large-Eddy Simulations (LES). The Reynolds number of the flow is ReL =9.57 x 106 and we consider two angles of yaw, 0° and 10°. The wall-layer approach is used to skip the direct solution of the thin viscous sub-layer....Go to contribution page

Mr Carlo Negrato (Chalmers University of Technology)Numerical & experimental hydrodynamicsPaperUnsteady cavitation on ship propellers operating in behind-hull condition can induce large hull-pressure fluctuations. The hull forms at the stern together with the propeller characteristics determine the severeness of the excitation forces; hence the pressure pulses must be considered at design stage to avoid undesired vibrations. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations proved...Go to contribution page

Prof. Luigi Cannizzaro (Unipa)Ship propulsion, machinery and systemsPaperEngine room is one of the most important space of a hydrofoil. It hosts all the mechanical components for the propulsion and for the technical facilities of the vessel, such as marine engines and electrical generators. In order to ensure the proper functioning of these components, an adequate air supply has to be guarantee. This is achieved thanks to the ventilation system, which provides the...Go to contribution page

Mr Alan Mahne Kalin (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of maritime studies and transport)Comfort on boardPaperPropeller shaft vibrations can be an issue on many types of ships, specially passenger vessels. The main cause of this problem can be due to unsteady hydrodynamic forces acting on the propeller surface. The problem is assessed first using a BE model to predict propeller forces and moments on the hub and then using FE model to predict vibration on places of interest, inside the vessel. The...Go to contribution page

Mr DAVIDE TOZZI (CETENA S.p.A:)Stability, Seakeeping, ManeuverabilityPaperThe use of simulation instruments which allow to predict or analyze the maneuvers to be performed on a real vessel are very common in the naval sector. Such a practice results from the need to make navigation increasingly safer, in order not only to avoid collisions between vessels in the open sea, but also to evaluate the most convenient maneuvers in confined spaces, such as for example in...Go to contribution page

Hot exhaust gases reveals from ship main engines during sailing periods. After using waste exhaust gases at turbocharger and exhaust gas boiler, respectively, those gases discard through funnel to atmosphere in spite of still consisting of respectable energy. Therefore, recycling...Go to contribution page
