    The shipping industry, as a major emitter of greenhouse gases, has increasingly highlighted the urgency of carbon reduction. A series of mandatory policies and regulations on carbon emissions in the international shipping industry have gradually entered into the mandatory implementation stage in order to reduce carbon emissions in the shipping industry. The shipping industry is therefore facing enormous pressure on carbon reduction. The current study reviews and summarizes the shipping carbon emission policies and regulations issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO), and compares the feasibility and applicability of various carbon reduction technologies in the shipping industry from both policy and technical aspects. The carbon capture technology is a direct and effective technology for the current shipping industry to address the carbon emission regulations. Based on the state-of-art of the carbon capture technology for ship exhaust gas, the challenges faced by the ocean-going ships in using carbon capture technology are analyzed from the technical requirements, operating costs and energy consumption, combined with the operation characteristics and exhaust emission characteristics of the ocean-going ships. The suggestions and measures are provided for appropriate marine carbon capture technology. The development direction of the carbon capture technology for the exhaust emissions of the ocean-going vessels is prospected based on the historical data. This study can provide references for the formulation of the carbon emission policies for China's shipping industry and the development and application of the ship carbon reduction technologies.

    Planning craft, whose weight is predominantly supported by hydrodynamic lift, has the advantages of lower resistance and faster speed. It is widely used in various scenarios such as entertainment, rescue and military applications. The amplitudes of the pitch and heave in the sliding state during the sailing of the planning craft are higher than those of the traditional displacement ships, especially, periodic exit and entry similar as jumping phenomena will occur when the planning craft travels in waves. Compared with traditional displacement ships, the planning craft has larger amplitudes of the pitch and heave when it travels at the sliding state, especially, periodic exit and entry similar as jumping phenomena will occur when it travels in waves. The resistance, propulsion and seakeeping performance of a deep-V planning craft (generic prismatic planning hull, GPPH) are numerically simulated by using a self-developed dynamic overset grid technology combined with the open-source CFD library OpenFOAM. The comparison between the numerical calculation results and the model test results shows that the dynamic overset grid technology can better capture the large pitch and heave of the planning craft. The periodic exit and entry of the hull generate large periodic slamming pressure on the bottom of the ship, and the numerical calculations can also provide reasonable predictions of the pressure.

    Abstract180)      PDF (3946KB)(371)       Save
    The seagoing ships using liquefied natural gas (LNG) fuel are becoming popular for transportation ships with the increasing green and low-carbon requirements internationally. The International Maritime Organization has issued the International Code of Safety for Ships Using Gases or Other Low-Flashpoint Fuels (IGF code), which provides the principal requirements of the loads and design conditions for the design of the fuel tank containment systems using low ignition fuel. However, there is no guidance on the structural strength evaluation of the LNG fuel tank, and the coordination with the loading conditions and evaluation criteria for the transportation ships such as oil tankers, bulk carriers and container carriers, resulting in low operability. It carries out studies by combining the load requirements for the fuel tank design in the IGF code and the relevant requirements in the CSR. A direct calculation method for the structural strength of the fuel tank of an oil tanker using LNG fuel is proposed, including the model range, load conditions, and strength evaluation criteria. The finite element direct calculation for the fuel tank of a CSR oil tank is carried out for full-scale verification. The results show that the method is reasonable and feasible, and it can provide guidance for the structural strength evaluation of LNG fuel tanks of similar ships.

    Since the 21st century, human exploration of marine resources deepens, the increasingly sophisticated manipulation tasks in unstructured underwater environment put forward higher requirements and challenges for submersibles' operational capability. Interacting with the surroundings with robotic arm is a very important manifestation of such capability. However, autonomous underwater manipulation at this stage is yet in its infancy and various underwater intervention missions still rely highly on manual control, which is very likely to lead to inefficiency in continuous operation. Hence, improving the autonomy in underwater vehicle’s manipulation ability is an inevitable trend of marine equipment in the future. Overviews and existing problems of underwater manipulation are introduced in detail in this paper, and the enormous potential of autonomous underwater manipulation in ocean engineering and other fields is illustrated by comparing the limitations of traditional remotely controlled approaches. The current status of autonomous underwater manipulation is systematically reviewed and main limiting factors and challenges that constrain the development of this domain are analyzed, and the key technologies need to be developed towards industry application are pointed out. Finally, prospects for further development of this area in the future are made.

    CHENG Shaojian, YANG Jikai, LI Zihan, LI Wei
    Ship & Boat    2024, 35 (02): 49-58.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2024.02.006
    Abstract173)      PDF (3745KB)(317)       Save
    Large crowds may show special evacuation behaviors in emergency situations due to conformity. The three-layer cruise ship in the European “SAFEGUARD” project has been examined in order to study the role of conformity in the emergency evacuation of cruise ships. A simulation model is established by using the Anylogic evacuation simulation platform, and the evacuation logic is written according to the cabin layout, the number and distribution of personnel of the cruise ship. The corresponding results are obtained by multiple personnel evacuation simulations. The reliability and accuracy of the simulation model are then verified by comparing the simulation results with the project dataset. The influence of different degrees of conformity on evacuation results is explored by adjusting the size of conformity factors based on the verified model. The results are compared with the prototype data. The results show that the visual field of the cruise ship is relatively narrow with fewer evacuation passages. The evacuation efficiency of cruise ships gradually decreases with the increasing degree of conformity, resulting in extended time to complete evacuation. Based on the actual situation of cruise ships, suggestions that are beneficial for evacuation are proposed to improve the evacuation efficiency, such as issuing instruction information, planning clear paths, and increasing emergency awareness training.

    Luxury cruise ships often have large and numerous living areas. The accurate prediction, global analysis, and precise control of the noise of luxury cruise ships are of great significance for reducing the noise level in the living areas of luxury cruise ships and guiding the design and construction of luxury cruise ships. The previous studies on the prediction method and control measures for the noise in ship cabins mostly focused on the small cabins such as accommodation and often used a single method for noise simulation. A joint prediction model combining the empirical formulas, aerodynamic acoustics and statistical energy methods has been developed in order to quickly and accurately predict the noise caused by air conditioning and ventilation systems in large public areas of cruise ships. This model compensates for the accuracy limitations of the empirical formula method using the end and room correction, to achieve the precise simulation of the noise distribution characteristics caused by the complex air conditioning and ventilation systems in large spaces. It intuitively presents the contribution of various ventilation and air conditioning system noise sources to the noise in large spaces. The evaluation of noise in large spaces and noise reduction processing for areas beyond limits is furtherly completed.

    On Resistance Reduction of Container Ship Using Fairing Based on CFD
    WU Yaoyang, LIN Haihua, SUN Chengmeng, JIANG Deqi, LI Shilong
    Ship & Boat    2024, 35 (04): 97-105.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2024.04.011
    Abstract141)      PDF (3418KB)(304)       Save
    The optimization of ship resistance is an important method to reduce the fuel consumption and improve the ship energy efficiency. The wind resistance of container ships accounts for a much larger proportion than that of other ships, which is a nonnegligible important part. The installation of a fairing at the bow has a significant effect on the wind resistance of the container ship. The total resistance and the wind resistance of a fully loaded container ship sailing at the design speed are calculated by using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technology. The mechanism of the resistance reduction using the fairing is analyzed by studying the reduction of the wind resistance and the total resistance due to the fairing when facing the wind at different wind speeds. The fairing can guide the flow and delay the flow separation, which effectively reduces the pressure resistance between the front and rear of the ship. The reduction of the wind resistance due to the fairing is stable at about 40%. The reduction of the total resistance due to the fairing gradually increases with the increase of the wind speed, and the resistance reduction can reach 2.91% under the wind speed of scale 8. The results can provide references for the practical design application and resistance evaluation of the fairing of container ships.

    Abstract116)      PDF (5198KB)(288)       Save
    Aiming at the energy conservation and emission reduction of the ship, a marine solar photovoltaic flexible support which can be laid on the deck has been designed based on the parameters and operation conditions of the KVLCC2, and the vibration response characteristics are analyzed. The effects of the wind load and the pitch and heave of the ship on the vibration response characteristics of the flexible support are studied by using the fluid-structure interaction decoupling calculation method. The results show that the amplitude and the average internal stress of the steel cable are the largest under the pitch condition, which have an adverse effect on the flexible support, followed by the pitch and heave conditions, and the lowest under the heave condition. The maximum structural stress occurs at the boundary of the steel cable support, and the plastic deformation will occur earliest if the external load increases further. The average stress and amplitude of the steel cable in the middle of the flexible support are the largest, and fatigue failure may occur under the cyclic stress and strain. The above conclusions provide a basis for the design, manufacture and daily use of the marine solar photovoltaic flexible support.

    A finite-time trajectory tracking control scheme based on the extended state observer is proposed for surface vehicles with model parameter uncertainties and unknown time-varying disturbances. Firstly, a novel finite-time control law is proposed based on the backstepping technique and “adding a power integrator” technique. The designed controller can ensure the trajectory tracking errors of surface vehicles converge to the neighborhood around the origin within a finite time by using continuous feedback. The finite-time stability of the closed-loop control system is then strictly proved using the Lyapunov theory. Finally, the simulation results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.

    More and more ports and specific water areas prohibit ships from discharging sewage and grey water with the increasing requirements of the international community for marine environmental protection. The prohibition goes beyond the discharge requirements of the ship sewage and grey water under the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships (MARPOL) by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Therefore, ships have to seek other possible tanks for temporary storage of the grey water and sewage that are not allowed to be discharged. This paper focuses on the current practice of temporarily storing sewage and grey water in ballast tanks during the operation of ships. The feasibility of storing sewage and grey water in ballast tanks has been explored by analyzing the discharge requirements of the D-2 standard for ship's ballast water under IMO BWM Convention and the discharge requirements of the ship sewage and grey water under the IMO MARPOL Convention. At the same time, in conjunction with the IMO's discussions on this issue, the technical and operational factors that need to be further considered for the temporary storage of the grey water and the treated sewage in ballast tanks are proposed to avoid the potential risk of violations caused by this approach.

    In response to the issue of slamming loads experienced by ship structures under high sea conditions, this paper employs the Abaqus finite element software to simulate the impact of slamming loads moving in different directions on the dynamic response of five stiffened panels. The slamming load is equivalently modeled as a pulse time history that rises linearly and decays exponentially. By varying the load parameters (peak pressure, low pressure, length of rising section, length of falling section and moving speed), the paper analyzes the specific impact of these parameters on the dynamic response of the stiffened panels. The research finds that the dynamic response of the stiffened panels is closely related to the load parameters, especially the influence of moving speed on the dynamic response is the most significant. Furthermore, by introducing the moving dynamic load factor DLFm and conducting a dimensionless analysis, the paper deeply explores the variation laws and sensitivities between the dynamic response and the dimensionless parameters of the slamming load, providing important theoretical basis for the design and optimization of ship structures.

The design directly affects the selective protection scheme of fuses in the DC distribution system and the operational stability of the DC distribution system.

    Facing the development needs of efficient propulsion systems for new-type ships, the traditional modes have been replaced by the energy conversion mode with a higher energy density by combing the counter-rotating impeller with the waterjet propulsion technology. The steady internal flow field analysis and unsteady impeller interference characteristics are studied for two different propulsion schemes with similar basic parameters and different front and rear impeller energy distribution ratios by using the CFD numerical simulation method. The results show that the propulsion efficiency of the counter-rotating waterjets with two different energy distribution ratios are basically the same, with a wide range of speed and a wide range of high-efficiency. The front impeller plays an adjusting function and reduces the influence of the non-uniformity of the inlet flow field on the rear impeller. The unsteady performance of the counter-rotating waterjet can be improved by increasing the load of the rear rotor and reducing the energy distribution mode of the load of the front impeller, with significant reduction of the impeller exciting force and pressure fluctuation amplitude.

    5059 aluminum alloy has become the preferred choice for the ship structure due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. However, the current code lacks the S-N fatigue curve of the 5059 aluminum alloy, imposing difficulties on the fatigue evaluation of the 5059 aluminum alloy ship structure. The 5059 aluminum alloy and a typical marine welded joint are designed to carry out the fatigue tests at the room temperature and the low temperature (-35℃). The corresponding fatigue S-N curve is fitted by the least square method based on the test data. A finite element model of the specimen for fatigue test is established, and the stress obtained by the finite element analysis is extrapolated to obtain the hot spot stress. The fatigue life of the fatigue specimen is predicted by using the fitted S-N curve and compared with the result from the fatigue test. The results show that the proposed S-N curve of the 5059 aluminum alloy material and the welded joint can be used to predict the fatigue life of the ship structure under the low temperature environment.

    Ship & Boat    2024, 35 (05): 38-43.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2024.05.005

    The natural frequency of the semi wind turbine is a key parameter that influences whether the wind turbine can reach full load. However, the calculation of the natural frequency by using the commercial software for wind turbine design is insufficient in the accurate consideration of the stiffness, mass distribution, underwater added mass, hydrodynamic damping and mooring stiffness of the floating foundation. Then, the structure model of a four-column semi-submersible offshore wind turbine has been established for accurate simulation of the stiffness and mass distribution of the floating body and the tower. According to the low-order modal analysis results of the tower, the tower is simplified as a beam unit with weak spring boundary constraint. The first 20-order natural frequencies of the wind turbine are calculated, staring from the 7th order as the natural frequency of the structure. On the basis, the upper limit of the stiffness for weak spring boundary constraints is determined, and the effects of the added mass of the semi-submersible foundation, hydrodynamic viscous damping, structural damping and mooring stiffness on the natural frequency of the wind turbine are analyzed to propose a method to calculate and distribute the added mass. The natural frequency of the wind turbine can be increased by adjusting the diameter and the thickness transition of the middle section of the tower in the later stage of the design based on the low-order vibration mode of the whole wind turbine.

    The intake duct is one of the main components of a waterjet, and the hydraulic loss in the intake duct is an important part of the total loss of the waterjet. The geometry structure of the intake duct induces non-uniform inflow of the propulsion pump, which has adverse effects on the hydraulic efficiency and dynamic excitation of the waterjet. The intake duct of the waterjet is numerically simulated by using the adjoint method, the flow equations are first solved in the forward direction, then followed by the reverse solution of the adjoint equations. The flow region most related to the inflow is obtained based on the field of the adjoint operator. The method to capture the inflow surface of the waterjet duct based on the adjoint method is then established and verified. The duct geometry is optimized through the adjoint method by taking the boundary of the intake duct as the design input variable and the non-uniformity of the outflow as the objective. After 8 iterations, the non-uniformity of the outflow relatively decreases 18.7%, which validates that the adjoint method can effectively optimize the geometry of the intake duct.

    The maximum ship bridge impact force and its relationship with influencing factors are of great significance for the reduction of the harm to the personal security and safety of their belongings caused by ship bridge collision. The finite element model of the ship bridge collision has been established by using ANSYS/LS-DYNA to calculate the ship bridge impact force under different impact velocities and impact angles. And the calculated results are compared with those from the rules of various countries. A model for the prediction of the maximum ship bridge impact force is then established under three training parameters of the maximum impact force value, impact angle and impact velocity by using the Back Propagation (BP) neural network technology together with the simulation data. Finally, an empirical formula of the relationship between the maximum impact force and the impact velocity and impact angle is fitted by analyzing the scatter diagram of the impact velocity and the impact angle. And the results of the empirical formula are compared with the finite element simulation results and the neural network prediction results to validate the accuracy of the empirical formula. It provides a rapid method for evaluating whether the ship bridge collision will have catastrophic consequences.

    The current study focuses on the cavitation jet characteristics of the jet nozzle for ship cleaning under different water depths. The nozzle of a dual-chamber self-excited oscillation pulsed jet nozzle is numerically studied under four depths of 10m, 25m, 50m and 100m by using the Rayleigh-Plesset cavitation model. The cavitation degree, fluid velocity distribution and turbulent kinetic energy distribution of the nozzle under different water depths are studied and analyzed. The results indicate that the cavitation in the internal flow field of the dual-chamber self-excited oscillation pulsed jet nozzle is greatest with relatively high fluid velocity and the turbulent kinetic energy is highest in the rear chamber and rear channel. However, the cavitation, fluid velocity and turbulent kinetic energy in the external flow field are significantly reduced. With the increase of the water depth, the internal flow field of the nozzle is almost unaffected, while the external flow field is greatly affected with increased cavitation number and gradually reduced cavitation degree, fluid velocity and turbulent kinetic energy, and thus weakened cavitating cleaning effect. The numerical research method can provide references for the underwater ship cavitation cleaning.

    The contra-rotating rudder propeller has the characteristics of good maneuverability and high propulsion efficiency, which is usually applied in ship types, such as science research vessels and offshore engineering ships. The open-water characteristics of the contra-rotating rudder propeller are simulated by using the improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method, with comparative analyses based on the model test results. The results show that the numerical simulation errors of the thrust coefficient and the torque coefficients of the propulsion unit at the design point are within 3%. It is observed that the rudder angle has smaller impact on the open-water characteristics of the front propeller but larger impact on those of the aft propeller based on the open-water tests under different rudder angles. The transverse force of propulsion unit is 0 at the rudder angle of 2.5° in the current case. The influence of the strut on the tip vortex of the front propeller is studied through the cavitation model test. The cavitation is significantly enhanced when the tip vortex of the front propeller meets the blades of the aft propeller or the tip vortex of the aft propeller. Based on the interaction of all components of the contra-rotating rudder propeller, the induced velocity correction coefficient is introduced to transform the design of the blades of the contra-rotating rudder propeller into the design of the blades under the given incoming flow condition.
