The choice of speed and clearance for RAS on 3D method

In this paper, a 3D source distribution technique is used to calculate the coupled motions between two ships which advance in the wave with the same speed. The numerical results of coupled motions for a frigate and a supply ship have a good agreement with the experimental results. Based on the 3D coupled motions of two ships, a spectral analysis is employed to clearly observe the effect of speed, clearance and wave heading on the significant relative motion amplitude (SRMA) of two ships.The method presented in this paper will be helpful to select suitable clearance, speed and wave heading for underway replenishment at sea(RAS).     

Price of Bulk Carrier Seems to Hit Bottom

Bulk carrier has the biggest sustained volume in the global fleet,with an annual turnover of new ships exceeding 100m DWT between 2006～2010.Especially in 2007 when the market was at its peak time,new ship orders reached 170m DWT.After the financial crisis,demand for new ships plunged,and orders for new ships in 2011 were less than 40m DWT.In the first three quarters of 2012,only 13.1m DWT were ordered.Although the turnover of bulk carrier is still in the first place,it is not a comparison to the past.     

CCS:Pioneer for LNG Ship Standard

Although China is relatively late in the trial use of LNG ships,she has become the front runner in the promotion of LNG ships.The launch of China’s first LNG/diesel hybrid pilot inland waterway ship in 2010 became the prelude for the application of LNG as bunker fuel for water transportation.At present,with the speeding up of the layout of LNG stations of energy companies,and the increase of the government’s policy support,there is the trend of fast development of"oil converted to

基于内聚力单元法的船舶与重叠冰碰撞数值模拟研究（英文）

The gradual increase in shipping and drilling activities in the Arctic regions has resulted in the increased importance of studying the structural safety of polar ships in various ice conditions. Rafted ice refers to a type of accumulated and overlapped sea ice; it is driven by external forces, such as wind and waves, and may exert high loads on ships and threaten their structural safety. Therefore, the properties of rafted ice and the construction of numerical models should be studied before ex...

Cruciform joints in ships are prone to fatigue damage and the determination of type of weld plays a significant role in the fatigue design of the joint.In this paper,the effect of weld geometry on fatigue failure of load carrying cruciform joints in ships is investigated using Effective Notch Stress(ENS) approach.A fictitious notch of 1 mm radius is introduced at the weld root and toe and fatigue stress is evaluated.The effect of weld leg length(l) and weld penetration depth(p) on ENS at weld ro...     

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of COSCO

It has been more than two decades since the Port of Seattle welcomed to our harbor the first ship flying the flag of the Peoples Republic of China. Since that first visit from the Liulinhai, which came here for a shipment of American wheat, the Port of Seattle and COSCO have been strong business partners and good friends. COSCO's ships have carried much more than cargo over the past 22 years. COSCO ships, and COSCO employees, have helped build relationships as well as

Presents the fin-propeller test set-up to solve the problem of roll stabilization with ships in full speed range, withwhich, tests were run in water rank for acquisition of data, and concludes from data acquired that the fin-propeller test set-up produces more lift than simple fin, and provides lateral thrust as well, and it is therefore an effective roll stabilization devicefor ships in full speed range.     

Optimization of bow shape for a non ballast water ship

In this research,a commercial CFD code ＂Fluent＂ was applied to optimization of bulbous bow shape for a non ballast water ships（NBS）.The ship was developed at the Laboratory of the authors in Osaka Prefecture University,Japan.At first,accuracy of the CFD code was validated by comparing the CFD results with experimental results at towing tank of Osaka Prefecture University.In the optimizing process,the resistances acting on ships in calm water and in regular head waves were defined as the object function.Following features of bulbous bow shapes were considered as design parameters： volume of bulbous bow,height of its volume center,angle of bow bottom,and length of bulbous bow.When referring to the computed results given by the CFD like resistance,pressure and wave pattern made by ships in calm water and in waves,an optimal bow shape for ships was discovered by comparing the results in the series of bow shapes.In the computation on waves,the ship is in fully captured condition because shorter waves,λ/Lpp 0.6,are assumed.     

表面粗糙度对水面舰船粘性阻力分量影响的数值研究（英文）

Recently, computational fluid dynamics(CFD) approaches have been effectively used by researchers to calculate the resistance characteristics of ships that have rough outer surfaces. These approaches are mainly based on modifying wall functions using experimentally pre-determined roughness functions. Although several recent studies have shown that CFD can be an effective tool to calculate resistance components of ships for different roughness conditions, most of these studies were performed using...     

Dynamic Characteristic of Damaged Ship Structures Considering the Warping Deformations

For some largely damaged ships, the conventional methods are unadaptable to estimate their dynamic characteristics asto ships with symmetrical hull section. Based on dry hull modal analysis of flexure-torsion coupling vibration of unsymmetricalship structures about longitudinal center line, a transfer matrix method to calculate the dynamic characteristics is presented.Taken both shear effect and warping deformations into account, the point and field transfer matrices are derived, and the influ-     

基于模拟减少集装箱船待港时间的实用方法(英文)

The main challenge for container ports is the planning required for berthing container ships while docked in port.Growth of containerization is creating problems for ports and container terminals as they reach their capacity limits of various resources which increasingly leads to traffic and port congestion.Good planning and management of container terminal operations reduces waiting time for liner ships.Reducing the waiting time improves the terminal’s productivity and decreases the port difficulties.Two important keys to reducing waiting time with berth allocation are determining suitable access channel depths and increasing the number of berths which in this paper are studied and analyzed as practical solutions.Simulation based analysis is the only way to understand how various resources interact with each other and how they are affected in the berthing time of ships.We used the Enterprise Dynamics software to produce simulation models due to the complexity and nature of the problems.We further present case study for berth allocation simulation of the biggest container terminal in Iran and the optimum access channel depth and the number of berths are obtained from simulation results.The results show a significant reduction in the waiting time for container ships and can be useful for major functions in operations and development of container ship terminals.
