With stricter IMO regulations on CO2 taking effect in 2023 and ambitious goals to reduce
carbon intensity by 2030, the maritime industry is scrambling to clean up its act …

Monitoring and evaluating the biofouling state and its effects on the vessel's hull and
propeller performance is a crucial problem that attracts the attention of both academy and …

Ship fuel consumption and the greenhouse gas emissions in the service are affected by
various factors, including waves, wind, biofouling, corrosion, confined water. One of the …

Recently, there have been active efforts to investigate the effect of hull roughness on ship
resistance using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Although, several studies …

Improving operational performance and reducing fuel consumption is increasingly important
for shipping companies. Ship performance degrades over time due to hull and propeller …

To design eco-friendly ships, the hydrodynamic behaviour of the hull has to be estimated
precisely. The first and foremost one is the ship resistance, which is closely related to the …

Considering that the ship hydrodynamic behaviours differ by the ship types and dimensions,
the effect of biofouling on ship resistance can also vary with different ships. In this study …

Main engine power prediction is important for polar ships operating in brash ice channels,
which is one of the most important concerns of shipowners. Self-propulsion simulation is an …

Hull roughness significantly increases ship resistance, power, and fuel consumption.
Although it is typically spatially heterogeneous, little research has dealt with …

Body force propulsion model has been used for ship self-propulsion CFD simulation for a
long time due to its higher computational efficiency and less computer source required. This …
