The scope of the present Ph.D. thesis was to investigate the mechanics of collisions between icebergs and ship structures. Large reservoirs of oil and gas and new sailing routes in the Arctic area are two large motivations ...

Water entry and exit, green water on deck, sloshing in tanks and capsizing in intact and damaged conditions are examples on violent fluid motion. The combination of model tests, theoretical analysis and Computational Fluid ...

This thesis addresses methodologies for assessment of response-based operational limits in terms of allowable vessel responses or sea state parameters, and numerical analyses of current and novel o_shore wind turbine ...

Wind energy represents a key low carbon technology to meet the normative Net-Zero Emissions scenario by 2050. Onshore and bottom-fixed offshore wind energy are wellestablished technologies. Most of the current commercial ...

While the use of azimuth propulsors such as azimuth thrusters and podded propulsors as main propulsion device on ships has been growing quite fast, the understanding of hydrodynamics related to propulsors in real operational ...

Mathematical models for an All Electric Ship component library is developed in this thesis. The main motivation for writing this thesis is to develop a model library that gives the opportunity to simulate both existing ...

Vortex formation is one of the fundamental modes in fluid mechanics and it can develop in almost every realization of fluid motion. Studying its fundamental dynamics and interactions is of great interest for engineering ...

Offshore mariculture is gaining more attention as expansion of the nearshore aquaculture, led by increasing demand for food fish, is faced with stiff resistance from other nearshore stakeholders, including the environmentalists. ...

This is a thesis about control of marine propellers. All ships and underwater vehicles, as well as an increasing number of offshore exploration and exploitation vessels, are controlled by proper action of their propulsion ...
