Abstract

Shaft Torsional Vibration Response of Vertical Axis Ocean Current Turbine Model Due to Torque Excitation. The current research aimed to study the torsional vibration response of Vertical Axis Ocean Current Turbine due to randomly torque excitation pattern, owing to the variety of ocean current velocity. The turbine model is composed of 3 aluminum blades of NACA 0018 connected to steel shaft. Turbine dimensions are 10 cm of chord, 1.8 cm of chamber and 100 cm of span. The variation of ocean current velocity is 0.5 m/s, 1.0 m/s, 1.5 m/s, 2.0 m/s, 2.5 m/s and 3.0 m/s. The Model has 2 degree of freedom which is described into two 2nd order differential equations. The eigenvalue solution yields the model’s natural frequencies; 201,38 rad/s and 457.91 rad/s. Fourier series is used to define the equation of torsional excitation, whilst the vibration equation is solved using Laplace Transform. According to analysis, there is no resonance occur. That because of the system’s natural frequencies is diverse to the magnitude of excitation frequencies. Model will be statically twisted first before vibrated. The response will be transient first then constantly steady. Furthermore, the bigger torque excitation will cause the bigger angular displacement as well the amplitude.

Abstract

The increase of fuel price has caused fleet operational and shipping business to be in danger situation. The fuel consumption of a ship is influenced by ship volume or wetted area which contributes directly to the increase of ship resistance and the size of main engine. In order to find out the appropriate answers, a series of investigation into river transportation using monohull, catamaran and trimaran types of vessel was carried out. The work focused on the estimation of total resistance and powering as well as seakeeping characteristics and carried out experimentally using tank test and numerically using a ship design software (Maxsurf). It was found out that the catamaran and trimaran could have less resistance and hence power compared to monohull of similar displacement. The seakeeping characteristics of the multihull vessels were also comparable with those of the monohull. This is a good indication that river catamaran/trimaran is an efficient and comfortable vessel. If a prototype or real vessel is developed, it can be a very efficient ship as well as a ship with high safety standard.
