    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.

    The aquaculture ship is one of the core equipment for the development of deep sea aquaculture, and the large aquaculture ship using recirculating water technology is one of the main technical route for the development of aquaculture ships in China. With recirculating water aquaculture system as the core, the factory aquaculture technology is adopted to improve the application scope and industrialization level of the aquaculture equipment. In view of the characteristics of this type of ship, a general design idea is proposed based on the development of some 80,000 m³ aquaculture ship, which focuses on the general arrangement, system design, structural design and overall performance analysis by taking the recirculating aquaculture system as the core. The design points of the recirculating aquaculture system, the water intake system, and the aquaculture comprehensive management and control system are discussed to provide references for the subsequent design of this type of ship.

    Ship & Boat    2022, 33 (04): 124-131.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2022.04.124

    Stabilizing systems are necessary for the ship in wind and waves to ensure stable operations and improve the safety and comfort of the crew.As an effective stabilizer, gyrostabilizer acts entirely within the hull without requiring sufficient movable weight to generate a control moment. The nonlinear wave force disturbance model of the ship in random waves is firstly established. The combined dynamic model of the ship and the gyrostabilizer is then built together with the working principle of the gyrostabilizer. The corresponding MATLAB Simulink block diagramsof the ship motion control are constructed for two kinds of gyrostabilizer models, i.e., the natural-driven gyrostabilizer model and the controller-driven gyrostabilizer model. The results show that both the natural-driven and controller-driven gyrostabilizer are able to reduce the rolling motion through the gyroscopic effect of high-speed spinning and precession angel variation. The controller-driven gyrostabilizer can reduce the nonlinear rolling motion of the ship more effectively than the natural-driven gyrostabilizer.

    DING Ju, WANG Jianqiang, LIU Zhenghao, ZHOU Min, KONG Weiping
    Ship & Boat    2023, 34 (01): 175-184.   DOI: 10.19423/j.cnki.31-1561/u.2023.01.175

    Propeller is the core component of a ship. The performance of the propeller of an icebreaker is directly related to the speed/power performance, ice-breaking performance, vibration and noise performance and safe navigation performance of the whole ship. The design of the ice class propeller is therefore the key stage during the design of the icebreaker. It is necessary to ensure that the performance of the propeller can meet the design requirements. Different from the conventional propeller that operates in the open waters, the ice class propeller operates in the ice waters. The impact of the ice on the propeller should be considered during the design of the ice class propeller. However, there is little experience of the ice class propeller design in China. The ice class propeller design process (IPDP) has been established based on the analysis of the characteristics of the ice class propeller in the current study. The design results and model test results of the ice class propeller of a PC2 heavy icebreaker are presented. The results show that the design process of the ice class propeller is different from that of the conventional propeller with special focuses on the iterative design of the propeller parameters and hull parameters, due to the heavy load and multi-working conditions of the ice class propeller. It is necessary to verify not only the speed/power performance and vibration performance in the open waters, but also the speed/power performance and propeller strength performance in the ice regions. A detachable fixed pitch propeller is designed for the high ice class propeller to facilitate the repair and replacement of one single blade.

    As one of the three major transportation systems, ocean shipping has the advantages of low transportation cost, large transport capacity and high safety. However, NOX and SOX in marine engine emission also cause serious air pollution, demanding urgent control. This paper summarizes the current control technologies of NOX and SOX in marine engine emission at home and abroad, and introduces the working principle, advantages and disadvantages of each technology. It is believed that the integrated technology of desulfurization and denitration based on the exhaust gas treatment system is more suitable for refitting old ships due to less modification to the ships. However, the new energy green ship technology based on alternative fuels and fuel cells is the most ideal solution for the control of ship pollutants and the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the future.

    Affected by factors such as monetary policy, geopolitical conflicts and the ongoing COVID-19, the macro-economy in 2022 showed a weakening trend after a brief economic recovery in 2021, and the pattern of maritime trade developed towards regionalization. As a result, the new shipbuilding market in 2022 showed an overall downward trend, with a year-on-year decline of 30.6%. Container ships, bulk carriers, oil tankers and offshore engineering vessels all showed downward trends, among them oil tankers showed the highest decline of 72.0%.Meanwhile, LNG carriers and Ro-Ro ships showed an upward trend, with an increase of 88.0% and 135.1%, respectively. Limited by the labor market and capacity adjustment of major shipbuilding domestic industries such as China and South Korea, the completion of shipbuilding in 2022 fell by 6.9% year-on-year. The orders at hand also decreased in 2022 with a decline of 7.5% year-on-year. Under the influence of environmental protection regulations, green fuel ships have developed rapidly, accounting for 44.5% of new ship orders, which becomes an important competitive area for shipbuilding countries. The global economic growth will continue to decline in 2023, which is expected to have a negative impact on the ship market. However, the high value-added ships such as LNG ships and green ships will continue to be popular. The global ship products will accelerate the development towards green and intelligent.

    The accelerated melting Arctic Sea ice has increased the availability of the Arctic shipping lane. As a major maritime and trading country, China can make full use of the Arctic shipping lane to alleviate the “Malacca dilemma” of the maritime transportation and ensure the transportation safety of Chinese strategic materials. The Arctic shipping lane cannot be opened without the support of polar icebreakers. The pod propulsion system that is the key equipment of modern polar icebreakers can give full play to the ice-breaking ability of icebreakers. Under the current international situation, the construction of polar icebreakers in China demands independent development of the ice-class pod propulsion system for the polar icebreakers. The current study introduces the development and current situation of the pod propulsion. It analyzes the characteristics of the ice-class pod propulsion system, summarizes the key technologies for the development of the ice-class pod propulsion system, and presents the development trend of the ice-class pod propulsion system. It is found that the ice-class pod propulsion system has higher technical threshold than the non-ice pods due to the characteristics of complex operating conditions, variable ice loads, high torque overloads, and fast dynamic response of revolution speed. Throughout the development of the pods, it is suggested to be led by professional electric companies, combine the advanced resources in the industry to break through the key technologies, and launch products with demonstration and verification as soon as possible, in order to support the opening of China’s Arctic shipping lane.

    The overall architecture of the central control system on a 300,000 DWT floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit of Petrobras has been taken as the starting point, focusing on the configuration, shutdown logic, main functions and characteristics of its emergency shutdown (ESD) system. According to the safety design rules for the offshore production installation unit of Petrobras, a set of causal logic of safety shutdown system suitable for large FPSO units in the Brazilian sea has been creatively developed on the basis of setting the safety shutdown level and the fire and gas zoning. Combing with the systems of the whole ship and the field production and operation practices, the causes of shutdown should be considered as thoroughly as possible, with clear fire and gas voting logic. The equipment and systems that need to be cut off in the shutdown results at all levels are described one by one, introducing the concept of damper zoning for the first time. The major purpose of the fire and gas shutdown and the emergency shutdown is to minimize the impact of shutdown results on the topside process of the FPSO, and to maximize the safety of personnel and the continuous production. The characteristics of this shutdown method different from the design of traditional FPSO ESD system are summarized at the end.

    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.

    Ocean drilling is one of the main means for human beings to understand the ocean and exploit deep-sea resources. The technical level and ability of ocean drilling vessels determine the process of marine resources exploitation, and are also an important guarantee for building China into a strong maritime power. The technical level of the deep-sea drilling system equipment matched with ocean drilling vessels directly determines the function and progressiveness of ocean drilling vessels. This paper investigates the drilling system equipment of three major ocean drilling vessels in the world (the US's “Glomar Challenger” and “JOIDES Resolution” and Japan's “Chikyu”) and the configuration of the drilling systems of the “Offshore Oil 708” deep-sea survey ship, the “Marine Geology No. 10” survey ship, and the “Blue Whale No. 1” ultra-deepsea drilling platform that are independently built in China. Combined with the functions and operation modes of China's ocean drilling vessels, the overall scheme and the configuration requirements of the key equipment for the drilling system of future ocean drilling vessels are proposed with consideration of the strategic needs of ocean scientific drilling, offshore oil and gas drilling, hydrate trial production and deep-sea mineral resources exploration. Finally, the state-of-the-art of the key equipment in China is briefly analyzed to provide implementation suggestions.
