Abstract

A ship is a type of floating structure that is specifically designed to move on the surface of sea water. This structure provides the ability for the ship to carry out various functions, from transporting goods, carrying passengers, to carrying out various other maritime operations. The advantage of a ship lies in its ability to move stably and efficiently in the midst of various dynamic marine environmental conditions. The direction of the ship's movement is controlled by the steering system, which is a crucial component in maintaining the smoothness and accuracy of the ship's journey. This steering system consists of various elements, one of which is the Rudder Stock. Rudder Stock has a vital role in the steering system because it functions as a link between the steering and the ship's propulsion system. Inside the Rudder Stock, there is another important component, namely the Seal. The Seal has the main function of withstanding pressure during ship operations, so that it can prevent leaks that can damage the steering system and other mechanical components. To evaluate the performance of the Seal in withstanding pressure, a pressure analysis was carried out using a numerical method based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software, namely ANSYS. The results of the study showed that the total working pressure on the Rudder Stock Seal reached 0.766 bar, which is the sum of the maximum hydrostatic pressure of 0.432 bar and the maximum fluid flow pressure of 0.334 bar.

Abstract

The increasing global emphasis on sustainability and environmental conservation has driven the maritime industry to adopt technologies aimed at minimizing ecological impacts, particularly underwater noise pollution. As a significant environmental issue, underwater noise affects marine ecosystems, altering the behavior, physiology, and survival of marine fauna, while contributing to broader ecological shifts. This research investigates the acoustic properties of a vessel's bow thruster tunnel, focusing on noise generation at varying operational speeds. The study utilizes Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations with ANSYS Fluent to analyze the relationship between fluid flow and acoustic behavior within the tunnel. Simulations conducted using CFD ANSYS Fluent reveal that high acoustic concentrations occur at the tunnel due to significant pressure differences between the interior and exterior. Results show that acoustic levels increase with ship velocity, ranging from 81.39 dB at 10 knots to 108.86 dB at 28 knots. To mitigate noise, a cone ring inlet design is proposed to reduce pressure differences and the ship's acoustic signature. These findings underscore the importance of vessel speed in influencing underwater noise levels, which can affect operational efficiency, marine ecosystems, and ship performance. The study highlights the need for a multi-faceted approach, incorporating hull design, propulsion systems, and operational strategies, to minimize acoustic impacts and promote sustainable maritime practices.
