Unsupervised classification of ships and their operations

In this modern age, data is being generated constantly and data is being saved for analysis everywhere. In the maritime industry, interest in the analysis of ship data has grown over the years. In this thesis, we will take a look at AIS data coupled with sea state data. AIS data is data generated from the ship, concerning the ship locations,...

Uncertainty Quantification and Calibration of the k − ǫ turbulence model

Nowadays, the numerical errors are decreased to an acceptable level in the sense that the variability of the model parameters is becoming more important for obtaining results with higher reliability. Therefore, the focus of this thesis is on the quantification of the uncertainties of the turbulent closure model k −ǫ. The k −ǫ model is tuned to...
