On the adhesion of oil to ice
AuthorsS Liukkonen ; J Rytkoenen ; A Alhimenko et al.
Date published1997
AbstractIn the context of marine oil spills a study on the adhesion between oil and ice is described. The experimental study consisted of contact angle and inclination angle measurements. Surface energies at interfaces between oil air water and ice were investigated. Numerical values for parameters affecting the adhesion of oil to ice and theoretical assessments of the oil spreading on ice as well as the influence of the liquid-like layer of ice on its adhesion to oil were investigated. Static and dynamic friction between oil and ice and the motion resistance of oil drops sliding along bottom of ice in water were studied.

Prediction of wind and current loads on VLCCs
AuthorsOil Companies International Marine Forum OCIMF
Shelf Location231a
AbstractThis study is valuable to ship and terminal designers and operators. It was designed, managed, analysed and reported on by the Exxon Research and Engineering Company on behalf of OCIMF. The report presents coefficients and procedures for computing wind and current loads on Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs), i.e. tankers in the 150,000 to 500,000 dwt class. An example problem is contained in the report.

Reflection induced by large pipe on an erodible bed
AuthorsC Dulou ; M Belzons ; V Rey
Date published1999
AbstractThe role of the Keulegan-Carpenter number mobility number and gap ratio on the scour under a fixed cylinder is investigated. Laboratory experiments on the reflection and the scour depth induced by large submarine pipelines on an erodible bed are looked into. After a description of the experimental set up and a brief look at the use of the numerical model the experimental results are presented concerning the scour depth and the corresponding reflection coefficient which is compared with the numerical calculation.

Simulation of power systems on offshore platforms
AuthorsK McLeay
Date published1994
AbstractThis paper discusses power system simulation on offshore platforms as it is commonly used as a design aid and for design confirmation. The reasons why simulation is used on most new platforms and on major upgrades to existing platforms are discussed and include the specific characteristics of the systems safety and the variation in systems due to differing geology. The general types of calculation which are carried out are covered in the paper and the use to which results are put is also outlined. The future for system analysis of offshore platform electrical systems is also outlined and the contractual work of the system is investigated.

Stress investigations on large diesel engines
AuthorsP Bourgeaud
Date published1967
AbstractModel tests on components of the Sulzer RD marine engine series are described. Three methods are in use:- the brittle lacquer method photo-elastic investigation and strain measurement by electric resistance strain gauges. Investigations on pistons and connecting rods and on bed plates are discussed the latter using isochromatic photographs to show stress patterns. The models and loading rigs used are described. Results for three loading situations are shown:- tie-rod prelooding top dead centre and bottom dead centre. Fatigue strength of welded joints for both investigations is shown.

The effects of transom stern on the resistance of high-speed craft
AuthorsE M Sireli ; M Insel ; O Goren
Date published2000
AbstractThe effects of transom stern on the wave resistance of high-speed marine craft is examined using a series of five monohull forms and both experimental and numerical methods. Theoretical wave resistance calculations are made by a panel method based on Dawson's algorithm. Comparisons among the residuary wave pattern and theoretical wave resistance are made and conclusions are derived based on the Froude numbers and transom stern ratios.

The new EU directive on port reception facilities for ship-generated waste and cargo residues: an evaluation
AuthorsA Carpenter ; S M Macgill
Date published2000
AbstractA new EU directive (summer 2000) on port reception facilities for ship- generated waste and cargo residues is evaluated. Five key elements of the Directive are considered examining both the potential effectiveness on existing practices and the suggested weaknesses. On the basis of this analysis conclusions are drawn about the Directive's effectiveness in preventing marine pollution. Additional recommendations are made in the light of the weaknesses identified .

The scale effect influence on hydrodynamic characteristics of propellers
AuthorsG I Kanevsky ; S N Kruglova
Date published2001
AbstractThe scale-effect influence on hydrodynamic characteristics of propellers is considered. To solve the problem a modern version of the equivalent profile method is used. This version 'Sep-2000' takes into account both the lift and drag coefficients and the angle of incidence of equivalent profile. New information about viscous and roughness influence on hydrodynamic characteristics of profiles is used. Calculated results using the proposed method are compared with experimental data and show good agreement. Diagrams appear on pages 7-9.

Water-on-deck accumulation studies by the SNAME and hoc ro-ro safety panel
AuthorsB L Hutchison
PublisherElsevier
AbstractA mathematical theory is presented for the accumulation of water on the deck of a damaged ro-ro passenger vessel. Excellent agreement is shown between results obtained from extensive time domain simulations and corresponding results obtained from integrals in the probability domain. Comparison is made to results obtained during free-floating model tests in waves at NRC (National Research Council Canada) IMD (Institute for Marine Dynamics). The mathematical theory presented leads to a simple curvilinear relationship between the accumulated depth of water on deck freeboard and significant wave height.

A maritime passenger demand analysis on short sea HMSV route by RP approach
AuthorsMauro Catalani
Date published2002
AbstractThe maritime passenger transport demand between fast-slow ships inside short sea shipping routes between Naples and its islands is evaluated. The analysis emphasises the passenger terminal location and GIS characteristic. The pricing system adopted and the route concentration involved in the Gulf of Naples is analysed. The approach is based on prices perception for the passenger on ro-ro ferries hydrofoils and fast ferries. The behavioural choice of a passenger sample is evaluated by a RP analysis. The modelling methodology based on a multinomial logit model is described.
