Wang, K. (author), Li, Jiayuan (author), Yan, Xinping (author), Huang, Lianzhong (author), Jiang, X. (author), Yuan, Yupeng (author), Ma, Ranqi (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author)The optimization of ship energy consumption is attracting a great deal of attention, as societies seek to save energy and reduce emissions. Shipping companies are more concerned with the energy consumption of a ship fleet, as opposed to that of a single ship. Because the energy consumption of a fleet is influenced by multiple factors...journal article 2020

Jiang, J. (author), Li, H. (author), Pourquie, M.J.B.M. (author), Ooms, G. (author), Henkes, R.A.W.M. (author)Core-annular flow is an efficient way of transporting viscous oil through a pipeline. A sharp increase in the pressure drop will occur when the oil waves at the water-oil interface touch the pipe wall. Depending on the oil and pipe material physical properties, the oil may adhere to the wall leading to fouling. Therefore, a necessary...journal article 2021
