This paper presents the methodologies developed in order to quality control and analyze the data acquired in hydrodynamic seakeeping experiments of physical models in waves. In such experiments, the data file consists of wave elevations and…
This research proposes mesh and domain optimization strategies for a popular Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) technique to estimate the open water propulsive characteristics of fixed pitch propellers accurately and time-efficiently based on…
This paper describes a research program on podded propulsors that combines parallel developments in numerical prediction methods and experimental evaluation. Amongst the hydrodynamic issues that have been identified and addressed are questions…
This paper describes the numerical aspects of a research program on podded propulsors, which is being undertaken jointly by the Ocean Engineering Research Centre at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the National Research Council's Institute for…
The numerical studies are performed to examine the steady MHD free convection and mass transfer fluid flow through a continuously moving porous medium with thermal diffusion and diffusion thermo past a semi-infinite vertical porous plate in a…
Minimum power requirement is one of the important design criteria for successful operation of underwater vehicles. CFD based prediction and estimation of power requirement is increasingly carried out in practice. However, reliable prediction depends…
For the development of deepwater marginal fields, many new platform concepts and designs are on the anvil. The mini TLP is a proven concept in this regard wherein an optimised conventional TLP system economically and efficiently serves in developing…
Present work is concerned with the flow field analysis inside a marine annular gas turbine combustor under non-reacting as well as reacting flow conditions. Three-dimensional gas turbine combustor of 20-degree sector geometry has been created and…
The realistic flow on each blade of the front and rear propellers with contra-rotating propellers (CRPs) are most complex because that consist the interaction forces with themselves and it affects to the actual efficiency of the propeller blades. The…
Inclined shaft propeller arrangements are demonstrated in the high-speed boat. The flow field around the propeller blades with inclined shaft propeller is unsteady due to the cross-flow component from the influx of the shaft direction which…
