Download or read book Manoeuvrability and Safety of Ships written by Carmine Giuseppe Biancardi and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-07-25 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book delivers a strong tool for understanding ship maneuverability and controllability and its links to Safety. If from one side the writing style is educational and with a clear engineering focus, this book is also a support for the Naval Architect and the Ship Designer as well as for the Operator willing to improve the design, the building and the operational safety of new and existing ships. The book is recommended for the academia, the student, the naval architect, the engineer and the designer, as well as for people interested in ship maneuvering ad its links with safety. The book begins by performing a critical review of existing approaches for dealing with Ship Manoeuvrability and Ship Safety before considering fresh understandings of these terms. Different attempts to integrate Safety with Manoeuvrability are then examined. The weak features of these attempts are considered and scope for developing fresh approaches is then presented. This is followed by an explanation of alternative new ways of treating a ship's manoeuvrability. In order to meet the requirements for operational specifications and safety in a cost-effective way, the book proposes an approach for relating Safety with Manoeuvrability in the appropriate, and all, phases of a ship's life cycle. The approach is based on a preventive Safety Methodology while introducing fresh, but consolidated, indices and criteria for assessing the ship's manoeuvrability. Two case examples are used to show how the methodology can be readily applied and how it offer an effective approach for designing and operating ships that can meet improved manoeuvring-safety requirements. One case example studies a dry cargo ship while the other studies a service ship.

Download or read book Marine Simulation and Ship Manoeuvrability written by M.S. Chislett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-10-01 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-time, interactive ship simulators limped onto the scene, in the wake of flight simulators, some years ago. The maritime industries have a long history of conservatism, but this is now changing rapidly. The information age has also swept over ships and shipping, and has been taken to heart to such an extent that, for example, flight simulators now cooperate with ship simulators and import useful new concepts and methodologies. The more than 50 papers contained in this book show what and why. Although traditionally conservative, the marine world is also traditionally international and this has not changed. The papers in the book are by leading authors from all over the world and provide a detailed snap-shot of the rapidly advancing state-of-the-art, together with pointers to the future. The overall theme of MARSIM '96 and therefore also of this book is: Vessel manouevrability and marine simulation research, training and assessment, and includes original papers on topics such as bridge resource management, distant learning and simulators coupled via The Internet, virtual reality, neural networks, rudder-propeller hydrodynamics, prime mover models, squat in shallow water, and many more.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A ship maneuvering motion procedure has been developed to be used in a vessel safety model, utilizing experimental data obtained in free-running model tests. Ship trajectories in terms of steady turning rate, advance, and transfer can be determined as functions of ship length, draft, beam, rudder area, rudder angle, and water depth. Furthermore, speed reduction due to turning can be computed as a function of ship hull parameters and turning rate. The effectiveness of the harbor navigation model is indicated by fairly good agreement between predictions and actual data points. Basic equations of ship maneuvering motion and a summary of existing hydrodynamic data in this area are also presented. (Author).
Download or read book A Numerical Study on the Maneuverability of the DTMB 5415 Using CFD written by Jinhae Kim and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has proposed various safety standards which ship engineers are required to follow. It is therefore necessary to consider a ship's safety during its initial design stages. The larger ships such as large cargo carriers require strict safety standards. With larger vessels such as these, the IMO safety standards stipulate the need for a vessel to demonstrate high maneuverability - this may be achieved with a twin-screw ship. Demand for twin-screw ships will therefore increase in near future. Thus, when it comes to the maneuverability of a twin-screw ship, the existing research leaves a lot to be desired as it primarily focuses on container ships. For these reasons, it is crucial that thorough research is performed on the maneuverability of other styles of twin-screw ships, such as naval combatants.Most studies on the manoeuvrability of twin-screw ships have focused on container ships as there is an abundance of existing data available for them. However, container ships tend to have less manoeuvring problems compared to other types of ships. Thus, when it comes to the manoeuvrability of a twin-screw ship, the existing research leaves a lot to be desired as it primarily focuses on container ships. For these reasons, it is crucial that thorough research is performed on the manoeuvrability of other types of twin-screw ships, such as naval combatants.The main goal of this research is to assess the manoeuvrability of the twin-screw naval combatant ship the DTMB 5415 using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and MATLAB.In this research, Star-CCM+ is used as a RANS solver to measure the hydrodynamic forces and moments on the twin-screw and derive the hydrodynamic derivatives. To validate the simulated results, a comparison is made against the existing experimental data from the published literature. Following this, MATLAB will be used to predict the manoeuvrability of the vessel in question such as its turning ability and course changing ability. A Mathematical Modelling Group (MMG) model is then used to predict the individual hydrodynamic forcesof the propeller and hull.

Download or read book Managing Ship Safety written by Chengi Kuo and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The safety of shipping and other maritime activities has traditionally been treated by what is called the prescriptive approach, whereby the authorities draw up the rules and regulations and the users obey them without question. This approach is most applicable to engineering issues but safety involvers many other factors. Ship safety very much involves management and operations, underpinned by human factors such as attitude and behaviour. To achieve high standards, many industries, such as chemical and offshore, have adopted the goal-setting approach which is based on the safety case concept. This text explains the basic principles and elements of the safety case concept, using practical examples to illustrate their application. It also shows how these safety elements relate to the International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) and Formal Safety Application (FSA).

Download or read book Risk Based Ship Design written by Apostolos Papanikolaou and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-04-09 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk-based ship design is a new scientific and engineering field of growing interest to researchers, engineers and professionals from various disciplines related to ship design, construction, operation and regulation. The main motivation to use risk-based approaches is twofold: implement a novel ship design which is considered safe but - for some formal, regulatory reason - cannot be approved today and/or rationally optimize an existing design with respect to safety, without compromising on efficiency and performance. It is a clear direction that all future technological and regulatory (International Maritime Organisation) developments regarding ship design and operation will go through risk-based procedures, which are known and well established in other industries (e.g. nuclear, aviation). The present book derives from the knowledge gained in the course of the project SAFEDOR (Design, Operation and Regulation for Safety), an Integrated Project under the 6th framework programme of the European Commission (IP 516278). The book aims to provide an understanding of the fundamentals and details of the integration of risk-based approaches into the ship design process. The book facilitates the transfer of knowledge from recent research work to the wider maritime community and advances scientific approaches dealing with risk-based design and ship safety.
