    Ship & Boat    2024, 35 (01): 70-83.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2024.01.007
    Abstract216)      PDF (3713KB)(932)       Save
    The navigation of ships in sea ice is affected by the resistance of the ice-water environment, which is an important factor in the research of the power/speed of ice ships. The ship sailing in ice areas has been simulated by a fluid-structure interaction model based on the discrete element method (DEM) and smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) method, to reasonably analyze the power/speed performance of ice ships. It obtains the resistance of the ship at different speeds, and the thrust and torque of the propeller, as well as the speed of revolution required for navigation at constant speed. A DEM-SPH model for the coupling of the hull structure, sea ice and seawater is established by directly calculating the interaction force between the structure and the fluid through the fitting of the relative motion between the SPH particles and the fixed particle boundaries, in order to study the fluid structure interaction between the hull structure, sea ice and seawater. Then the DEM-SPH coupling model is used to simulate the resistance and propulsion of the ships in ice regions. The resistance and thrust of the ships are matched through the fitting method with consideration of the influence of the resistance increment caused by the wake field, to predict the speed of revolution required for the self-propelled ship at a specific speed. The resistances of the DTMB 5415 ship model in ice floes and level ice and the propeller thrusts at different speeds of revolution are also simulated to predict the speed of revolution required for the ship sailing at specific speeds under different operation conditions. The results show that the fluid-structure interaction between the ship-ice and propeller-ice can be well simulated by the DEM-SPH coupling model, fully describing the drag effect of the ship hull and the wake field on the sea ice. A numerical simulation-based prediction of the speed of revolution for the self-propelled ship is performed through the simulations of resistance and thrust, and the fitting analysis of the forced force. It can provide foundation for further experimental verification and engineering applications.

    Along with the advancement of the International Maritime Organization’s strategy on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the prediction of added resistance in waves has become a hot issue during the last decade. As a second-order wave force, the mechanism of added resistance in waves is not only related to the characteristics of the ship itself, but also to its operating conditions and marine environment. However, the experimental determination and numerical prediction of the added resistance in waves have remained a challenge due to various technical constraints. This study briefly presents the state-of-the-art of various methods for the prediction of the added resistance in waves by reviewing and commenting the development of various methods, such as experimental methods, potential flow methods, viscous flow methods, semi-empirical methods and data-driven methods. In addition, based on a newly developed semi-empirical formula, a new type of contour diagram of the average added resistance for a ship sailing at various speeds under various sea states is presented to facilitate engineering applications. Finally, the prime concern of the future research is proposed based on thorough discussion.

    The liquid ammonia pressurized supply and ammonia capture are carried out based on the demand of ship main engine powered by ammonia fuel. The current study firstly sets up a three-stage pressurized supply mode with a buffer tank, and then analyzes and simulates the key points such as the form of fuel tank, stepped pressurization, elimination of pipeline gas resistance, inerting explosion prevention and ammonia emission capture. The simulation results show that the backflow pressure of the fuel is within the preset range, and this design can achieve stable supply to the main engine after pressurization and temperature increase, and can achieve the effective capture and process of ammonia emissions. The system analysis shows that it is feasible and stable to adopt the semi-cooled and semi-pressurized fuel tank, combined with a two-stage pump and a buffer tank, forming a three-stage pressurization system. The use of water mist spraying combined with adsorbers can effectively capture the ammonia and control ammonia emissions within 22.8 mg/m 3.

    With the exploration and development of the ocean, human's demand for ocean data is increasing. As an automatic observation station for marine hydrometeorology, marine buoys have been assigned more and more functions with the support of technology, and have been used in all aspects of exploration and development of the ocean. However, the current application scenarios of marine buoys are relatively monotonous, and their information transmission is still affected by factors such as climate environment and communication distance. In order to meet the growing demand for ocean data, an intelligent buoy system based on the combination of marine buoy technology, submarine optical cable fiber technology and network technology is proposed with imaginations of several application scenarios of this system.

    Ship & Boat    2023, 34 (04): 69-80.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2023.04.069
    Abstract616)      PDF (1415KB)(734)       Save
    Marine selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is an efficient NO X removal technology, which has been widely applied in shipbuilding industry. However, the marine SCR technology also needs to be adjusted with the continuous improvement of the environmental requirements and the changes in marine energy structure. Nowadays, most marine SCR technology uses Urea-SCR technology, which is greatly affected by impurities in the marine fuel oils and the temperature of the exhaust. The high level of sulfur and alkali metals in the marine fuel oils has significant toxicity on catalysts, limiting the use of marine SCR. The diesel engine that mainly used on ships determines the range of the temperature change of the exhaust, which finally affects the denitrification of the exhaust gas through the influence on the effect of urea hydrolysis to produce ammonia, the layout of the SCR rectors and the catalyst activity. The above situation indicates that the design of an LP-SCR system with exhaust gas heating will be an important direction of the design of the SCR for the ships using marine fuel oils as fuel. It is critical to find safe source or method of supplying ammonia with high production efficiency and precise control for the development of marine SCR systems. Improving the fuel quality and reducing the toxicity effect in the smoke can provide a foundation for the research and development of new low-temperature and anti-toxic catalysts. The low-carbon and zero-carbon fuels become a global trend due to carbon neutrality, resulting in different exhaust emissions after combustion and then the change of SCR control technology. The zero-carbon and low-carbon fuels have single and reducible composition, and have the potential to be SCR reducing agents. The integrated processing SCR technology that uses the fuels itself for NO X removal will become an important direction for the development of marine SCR under the goal of carbon neutrality.

    Environmental friendly dual-fuel propelled ships are becoming popular for new shipbuilding. In order to maximize the capacity utilization and take into account the scantlings of the container hold, the type C LNG fuel tanks are transversely arranged below the superstructure in the large dual-fuel container ships. Compared with the LNG carrier, the safety of the traditional saddle structure becomes insufficient due to the significant changes of the load acted on the hull. The optimized arrangement plan and structure design of the saddle are proposed in the current study. The strength and fatigue of the saddle and its supporting structure are analyzed by using the finite element method, and compared with those of traditional saddle design. The results show that the optimized saddle structure can significantly improve the stress distribution and increase the fatigue life. It can provide references for the structure design of the saddle for large container ships with type C LNG fuel tanks.

    In recent years, the polar navigation equipment is of increasing concern with the decreasing coverage and thickness of the arctic sea ice. Compared to traditional navigation areas, the sea ice will interact frequently with the ships in arctic regions, which is also one of the main causes of the fatigue damage of the hull structure. It is therefore of significant importance for the prediction of the dynamic structural response of ships sailing in Polar Regions to simulate the dynamic process of the ship-ice collision and analyze the influencing factors. The ice material parameters that can be applied to the commercial software LS-DYNA are proposed, with feasibility verification according to the P-A curve of ISO. The modeling of the bow is then established to simulate the collision between the bow and the floating ice under the operation conditions with bow speeds of 5kn, 6kn and 7kn, respectively, and a floating ice size of 10m×10m×0.6m, and then analyze the impact of the parameters.
