A study of the effect of the well-known aerodynamic device low profile vortex generators (VGs) on the viscous resistance of the DTMB 5415 ship hull form through the control of the ship boundary layer separation is performed using the finite volume code Ansys CFX. The tetrahedral unstructural grids have been used for meshing the different cases. Different types of VGs have been tested, but the study has forced on two main types of VGs. The effects of VGs on the ship viscous resistance and its components have been investigated for the different cases in this study, and comparisons between the various results have been made.

The objective of this research is to evaluate crack growth behavior from a surface crack to a through crack in a liquefied natural gas (LNG) tank . Crack growth behavior is analyzed by superposition version FEM (S-FEM). As a crack grows, part of the local mesh crosses over the global mesh. In S-FEM, the local mesh is defined as existing in the global mesh. When a part of the local mesh crosses over the global mesh, the Young’s modulus of the part is made small to ignore the influence of the part. In this way, the stress distribution of the local mesh is improved. In this study, crack growth behavior under a tensile cyclic load is analyzed. After crack penetration, the crack shape becomes rectangular. Crack growth behavior under tensile bending loading is also analyzed by simulating the four-point bending test. In this simulation, the crack shape becomes trapezoidal after penetration.

In present study, video images technique is used to investigate the transformation of the directional wave spreading in shallow water. The technique is based on time series of the pixel brightness on video images. The Bayesian Directional Method is conducted in estimating the directional wave spectrum for evaluating the change of the directional wave spreading in the surf zone area. Video image data recorded at Hasaki beach in Japan are used in the analysis. Estimation of principle direction and spreading parameter in the surf zone regions indicated that principle directions at peak frequency are not strongly affected by wave breaking process. In contrast, the broadenings of directional spreading were observed when the waves start breaking on the sand bar and toward the shore area.

Due to the advantages of high head, no leakage, multistage canned motor pump is widely used in the national economic construction department. At present, in the premise of guarantee reliability, saving energy efficient become an important development direction of canned motor pump. In order to research and improve the performance of the pump, this paper designed and used symmetric multistage canned motor pump DBP15-50x8 as the research object. Three-dimensional model of the main flow passage components is built and the mesh is generated respectively by using Pro/E and ICEM software, and we calculated the whole internal flow field of the pump that was selected by using ANSYS CFX software, achieving the pressure and velocity distribution rule in the pump and the internal details of flow in impeller and other main flow components. It is found that there is pre-whirl flow in the front of inlet in the first stage impeller under the conditions of 0.5 Q and Q flux, obtained the unstableness in inlet when this pump works under the low flux conditions. The post-processing showed the internal flow of bearing section and volute is chaotic, etc. The results provide theoretical basis for the design optimization of multistage canned motor pump.

Traditional ship in Indonesia which usually built from wood has small capacity compared to modern steel ship. Compared to modern ship building, mostly the production is to assemble block by block with machines and big cranes. However, traditional ship is one hundred per cent made from the work of man. Workers are not properly trained in a formal engineering school but only learnt the skill from senior workers. Hence, all modern concepts such as the need for safety and a proper ship production flow are not a great concern for them. In this paper, safety issue in traditional ship production process is being observed conducting direct survey to traditional shipbuilding company in Bintan, Indonesia. It is hoped that the outcome is to bring safety awareness to the traditional ship builders.

Noise reduction and control is an important problem in the performance of underwater acoustic systems and in the habitability of the passenger ship for crew and passenger. Furthermore, sound generated by a propeller is critical in underwater detection and it is often related to the survivability of the vessel. This paper presents a numerical study on noises of the underwater propeller for different performance conditions. The non-cavitating and blade sheet cavitation noise generated by an underwater propeller is analyzed numerically in this study. The flow field is analyzed with finite volume method (FVM), and then the time-dependent flow field data are used as the input for Ffowcs Williams–Hawkings (FW-H) formulation to predict the far-field acoustics. Noise characteristics are presented according to noise sources and conditions. The developed flow solver is applied to the model propeller in uniform inflow. Computed results are shown to be in good agreement with other numerical results. The overall results suggest that the present approach is a practicable tool for predicting cavitation and non-cavitation noise of propellers in far field.

This paper is aimed to design a prototype of screw turbine for power generation. Using principles of velocity vector, the governing equations have been identified for an ideal case of force acting on blade. The paper also describes the conception of a screw turbine rotor for remote area electricity production. The research is done by calculating based on theoretical way and compared with experimental results. Output power can be generated by this small size of turbine is 0.236 watt theoretically and 0.098 watt experimentally. Various losses in the system are discussed, which is also demonstrated that the experimental power outputs and theoretical predictions has a discrepancy. However, it has a great potential to be used for remote area to generated power by using low head water source as this research is developed.

This paper discusses the numerical prediction of the semi-submersible’s heave motion. In the previous study, it is observed that the heave motion response predicted by diffraction potential theory is over-estimated in the region where the heave motion is dominated by damping. In this research, viscous damping is included in the calculation to increase the heave damping magnitude in motion equation. The wave force and added mass of semi-submersible is predicted by diffraction potential theory, only the total damping is corrected by sum-up the linear damping from diffraction potential theory with the proposed viscous damping. The heave motion response obtained from the proposed numerical method also compared to the data from the experiment. From the comparison, it can conclude that involved of viscous damping in the calculation will corrected a part of heave motion response tendency and reduce the large over-predicted error of heave motion response at the damping dominate.

This paper presents a study to examine the characteristics of the rudder inflow (propeller slipstream) using FLUENT v.6 visualization technique. The rotating propeller of 5 blades and semi-spade rudder were set in a uniform flow condition. The rudder distorts the angle-of-attack (AoA) or incident angle to the leading edge of the rudder blade. Time-averaged pressure and velocity field are proposed to analyze the AoA and show similar AoA values of 0°–7° at the region on rudder. However, it increases to 20° by those effects as the inflow comes to the rudder. From the AoA analysis the similar flow pattern is found to be about 7° in terms of the rudder angle. Cautious access is additionally necessary to introduce a reasonable safety against those inflow phenomena that would significantly influence the durability of the rudder.

Awakening of renewable energy in the latter half of the twentieth century has identified wave energy as a potential source of clean energy due to its high intensity of energy flux compared with other renewable sources of energy. Subsequent research found out that Oscillating Water Column (OWC) concept is an easier and simple technology to harness energy from the Ocean waves. This had lead to a rapid progress in research pertaining to tuning of the system for optimum efficiency. The Double Chamber Oscillating Water Column (DCOWC) concept is a modified form of OWC. The present study is an extension of previous studies for understanding its hydrodynamics with respect to its two geometric parameters; bottom opening and front duct width. The experimental works carried out on a scaled down model for identifying the effective combination between them is explained. The hydrodynamic principles governing the maximum harness of wave energy is detailed here. The discussions related to wave energy absorption, wave energy conversion, phase angle difference between pressure excitation and air pressure and wave amplification which govern the efficiency of the DCOWC are included for a better understanding on the effect between geometry and wave characteristics. It is expected that the findings of this study enhance knowledge on the hydrodynamic aspects of the concept of a DCOWC.
