  • Development of design technologies for optimum moonpool shapes of drill ship

    Abstract

    Moonpools inside of drill ships are the necessary holes for drilling pipes and risers. The holes inside of a ship will create hydrodynamic problems. Two obvious hydrodynamic induced problems are the increase of ship resistance at transit condition and over flow on deck of a ship at operation condition due to violent ship motions resonance and sloshing phenomena inside of moonpools. The present study is concerned with the numerical and experimental analysis of a moonpool in rough sea. From hydrodynamic viewpoint a moonpool of drill ships can cause various problems. Among them two major problems arise such as an increased resistance and overflow on the deck due to pumping up phenomena. To overcome these inherit problems we have carried out various numerical analysis to find optimum moonpool shapes. The 3D numerical model adopting SOLA-VOF scheme is used to predict violent free surface movement inside of a moonpool due to irregular ship motions with six degree of freedom. For accurate input data of ship motions a 3D panel method program is applied for seakeeping analysis. The resistance and seakeeping model test have been carried out at MARINE to validate the proposed moonpool shapes which have been designed based on numerical simulation results.

  • Instantaneous spectral analysis of non-stationary ship motion data

    Abstract

    In the research field of sea-keeping qualities the short-term prediction method has been established on the assumption that the seaway can be considered as a stationary stochastic process. In actual ship operations however the ship motions in waves are regarded as non-stationary random processes because the ship's manoeuvres such as course and speed alterations change the encounter angle and encounter frequency with waves. The TVVAR (time varying coefficient vector autoregressive) modelling is applied to the cross-spectral analysis of non-stationary ship motion data. Introducing the instantaneous response a vector autoregressive model can be reduced to simple TVAR (time varying coefficient autoregressive) models for each ship motion and the required CPU time is effectively reduced. The TVVAR model and stochastic perturbed difference equations are transformed into a state space model. The vector-valued unknown coefficients can be evaluated and the instantaneous cross spectra of ship motions can be calculated at every moment. The results showed good agreements with one of the TVAR modelling and also with the SAR (stationary autoregressive) modelling analysis under stationary conditions. Furthermore the instantaneous relative noise contribution was also estimated using the TVVAR coefficients and illustrated how the structure of a spectrum changed according to the ship manoeuvres for the first time. Optimum order of the model and Akaike's information criterion were also examined for several changes of parameters. Moreover it is confirmed that the TVVAR modelling can estimate the instantaneous cross spectra and relative noise contribution ofX11884 Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers; Standard dictionary of electrical and electronics terms 3rd Edition.

    1988

    Abstract

    The Danish Project Ship a government backed programme has invited a range of marine specialists to co-operate in the design of a high technology low running cost minimum crew ship for the smaller owner. Aspects discussed include - market research; structural design; machinery; ship control; deck machinery; crew qualifications. Proposals for a roro a chemical tanker and alternative containerships were achieved.

    Abstract

    The book initially deals with the general theory of strength of materials, then progresses from the simply supported beam to the ship girder and finally discusses electronic calculators and computers that are used to solve complex problems in the loading of ships.

    Date published

    1995

    Abstract

    A review is provided of the influence of ship structure elements on sound transmission. After this some structure borne sound propagation empirical models are presented as the basis for preliminary prediction in the early stage of ship design. Lastly two special approaches are described for structure-borne sound reduction - the application of blocking masses and viscoelastic damping coating.
