A comparative study is presented on ship hull resistance and propulsion power prediction
using empirical formulations and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based solution …

In this paper, the estimation of ship fuel consumption is computed for different weather
conditions along the ship route. The propeller is first optimized for calm water conditions …

Optimization procedures are required to minimize the amount of fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions from marine engines. This study discusses the procedures to optimize …

A numerical optimization model is developed to simulate the performance of a large four-
stroke marine turbocharged diesel engine along the entire operating range by finding the …

This paper presents a comparison between different types of propellers operated in calm
water to evaluate their performance behind hulls and in open-water conditions. A bulk …

This study presents a practical optimization procedure that couples the NavCad power
prediction tool and a nonlinear optimizer integrated into the Matlab environment. This …

A propeller optimization procedure is developed by coupling a propeller design tool with a
nonlinear optimizer. An optimized propeller contributes toward maritime decarbonization …

This paper presents the effect of a propeller cup on the propeller cavitation and the fuel
consumption of a bulk carrier in both calm water and different weather conditions towards …

An optimization tool is developed to simulate the performance of a marine propulsion system
of a fishing trawler for ship conceptual design. It consists of two modules implemented in …

Tankers, bulk carriers and container ships are the three largest groups of ships in the global
commercial fleet. This shows that the design and construction of these types of ships …
