In a challenging world market, the equip- ment industry is focusing on the aims and objectives of their cus- tomers in international shipping – improving both economy and environmental footprints significantly whilst also simultaneously ensuring safety and operational reliability on board. This publication is intended to bring international shipowners, shipyards and naval architects up to date on current technology and the latest developments in a number of important ship sys- tems offered by German industry. Main topics under discussion are smart shipping and “Maritim 4.0”, a higher degree of automation, lower fuel consumption, al- ternative fuels, comprehensive onboard environmental protec- tion and the reduction of ships’ operational costs.

The initiative is funded through the EC's Seventh Framework Programme (FP7) and runs for four years until 2015. The network of 29 partners with 42 specialist marine research facilities is spread across 11 EU countries and 1 International Cooperation Partner Country (Brazil). MARINET offers periods of free-of-charge access to test facilities at a range of world-class research centres. Companies and research groups can avail of this Transnational Access (TA) to test devices at any scale in areas such as wave energy, tidal energy, offshore-wind energy and environmental data or to conduct tests on cross-cutting areas such as power take-off systems, grid integration, materials or moorings. In total, over 700 weeks of access is available to an estimated 300 projects and 800 external users, with at least four calls for access applications over the 4-year initiative. MARINET partners are also working to implement common standards for testing in order to streamline the development process, conducting research to improve testing capabilities across the network, providing training at various facilities in the network in order to enhance personnel expertise and organising industry networking events in order to facilitate partnerships and knowledge exchange.

ISSN 1503-8181 ITK report 2008:3-W Theses at NTNU, 2008:20 Printed by Tapir Uttrykk Summary Speed and position control systems for marine vehicles have been subject to an increased focus with respect to performance and safety. An example is represented by drilling operations performed with semi submersible rigs where the control of position and heading requires high accuracy. Drift- ing from the well position could cause severe damage to equipment and environment. Also, the use of underwater vehicles for deep ocean survey, exploration, bathymetric mapping and reconnaissance missions, has be- come lately more widespread. The employment of such vehicles in complex missions requires high precision and maneuverability. This thesis focuses on thrust estimation and control of marine pro- pellers with particular attention to four-quadrant operations, in which the propeller shaft speed and the propeller in‡ow velocity (advance speed) as- sume values in the whole plane. In the overall control system, propellers play a fundamental role since they are the main force producing devices. The primary objective of the thruster controller is to obtain the desired thrust from the propeller regardless the environmental state.

  • Application of Large Eddy Simulation to Predict Underwater Noise of Marine Propulsors
    Journal of Marine Science and Engineering Article Application of Large Eddy Simulation to Predict Underwater Noise of Marine Propulsors. Part 2: Noise Generation Julian Kimmerl 1,* , Paul Mertes 1 and Moustafa Abdel-Maksoud 2 1 SCHOTTEL GmbH, Schottelstr. 1, 56281 Dörth, Germany; [email protected] 2 Am Schwarzenberg-Campus 4(C), Institute for Fluid Dynamics and Ship Theory (FDS), University of Technology (TUHH), 21073 Hamburg, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Methods to predict underwater acoustics are gaining increased significance, as the propul- sion industry is required to confirm noise spectrum limits, for instance in compliance with classi- fication society rules. Propeller–ship interaction is a main contributing factor to the underwater noise emissions by a vessel, demanding improved methods for both hydrodynamic and high-quality noise prediction. Implicit large eddy simulation applying volume-of-fluid phase modeling with the Schnerr-Sauer cavitation model is confirmed to be a capable tool for propeller cavitation simulation in part 1. In this part, the near field sound pressure of the hydrodynamic solution of the finite volume method is examined. The sound level spectra for free-running propeller test cases and pressure pulses on the hull for propellers under behind ship conditions are compared with the experimental measurements. For a propeller-free running case with priory mesh refinement in regions of high vorticity to improve the tip vortex cavity representation, good agreement is reached with respect to the spectral signature. For behind ship cases without additional refinements, partial agreement was achieved for the incompressible hull pressure fluctuations.
