van Heugten, Lars (author)Engineering has become more and more optimisation and simulation based. This causes an increase in the use of optimisation methods for complex problems. This thesis focuses on the implementation of a surrogate-assisted optimisation method for propeller optimisation, to design a better propeller in a shorter timespan. Therewith reducing both:...master thesis 2023

van der Made, Daan (author)In this thesis, the influence of a combined drift angle, heeling angle and forward speed on the stability of a tug is researched. This is done to gain insight in the stability of tugs during escorting, where they operate at high drift angles, heeling angles and forward speed. The Damen RSD 2513 tug was simulated in steady CFD simulation using...master thesis 2023

Huang, Tzu-Yao (author)Tip vortex cavitation around the marine propeller is the primary source of the underwater noises emitted by ships. Investigating the tip vortex inception is important to understand the aforementioned side effect. The water quality, highly related to the bubbles population, surrounding the tip vortex is crucial to the tip vortex cavitation...master thesis 2022

van Bemmel, Jeroen (author)Propellers are used to propel the vast majority of ships. They are most commonly made out of Nickel-Aluminum-Bronze alloys. This is due to their superior characteristics over other metals in terms of strength and corrosion resistance. Metal propellers are assumed to be rigid and undeformable. Current research opts to construct propellers out of...master thesis 2022

Borren, Marc (author)While the awareness of global warming rises, transport over sea remains a large contributor to green house gas emissions. New regulations imposed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) aim to reduce the emission of green house gasses. Consequently, ship owners turn to technological solutions in order to achieve this. The Ventifoil from...master thesis 2022

Vendeloo, Bauke (author)This research considers Amels LE and SX super yachts. Bare hull, appended hull, and actuator disk simulations were performed using CFD, and compared to sea trial results. The results of the CFD are unique because they were generated after the sea trials were conducted, resulting in the ship speed in CFD and sea trial being similar. The results...master thesis 2021

Haafkes, Thom (author)During berthing operations of ships, the horizontal thrusters cause a hydraulic load on the quay wall and bed. This could eventually lead to scour holes in the bed, which may affect the structural integrity of the quay wall. This thesis is about a numerical simulation of a bowthruster jet which is deflected by a quay wall and the focus of this...master thesis 2021

Bosma, Lars (author)Throughout the last century, high energy-density fossil fuels have been the main energy source for merchant shipping. As the world tries to minimize the effects of global warming, shipowners are forced to significantly reduce their $CO_2$ emissions. Because alternative fuels are expensive, the interest in wind energy, which has been the single...master thesis 2021

van de Sanden, Klaas (author)A fairly recent development in the maritime industry is the rising interest in composites, as they have great potential to outperform conventional metallics. They offer good corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, a low magnetic signature, and a high strength to stiffness ratio. In case of a propeller, the latter may be utilized by adapting...master thesis 2020

Lagendijk, Laurens-Jan (author)In recent years the awareness and the effort to reduce air pollution and global warming have increased. Many new ideas are being developed to reduce harmful emissions. Despite this, the shipping industry is still a large contributor to air pollution worldwide. To reduce the environmental impact of shipping, the use of<br/>sustainable energy...master thesis 2018

Cointe, Benoit (author)The main goal of this master thesis is to reproduce by CFD computations the characteristic cavitation dynamics in a venturi which were experimentally discovered at TU Delft by Jahangir and al. The different cavitation regimes were obtained by modifying the global static pressure and flow velocity in the flow loop. Based on this, three different...master thesis 2018

Wieleman, Vera (author)An accurate prediction of propeller hull interaction is an important step in the design of a new vessel. The prediction of full-scale flow phenomena, which eliminates scale effects, is becoming available due to increasing computational power. However, the complexity of full-scale CFD calculations combined<br/>with a lack of validation data...master thesis 2018

Kisjes, Anton (author)The awareness of the impact of air pollution on global climate change is more and more growing in society. The urgency to make ships more eco-friendly captures the interest of shipowners and naval architects. Hull designs of a ship, with regard to minimum fuel consumption have been optimized in the last decades and it has been proven difficult...master thesis 2017

Klapwijk, Maarten (author)The Royal Netherlands Navy (RNN) operates four diesel-electric submarines, the Walrus class. The submarines sail submerged on electric engines and periodically recharge the batteries with diesel engines at periscope depth. The exhaust gases are dispelled at the back of the sail below water level. During the sea trials it was observed that the...master thesis 2017

Mohan, A. (author)A previous work at Royal IHC, following the observation from sea trials of trailing suction hopper dredgers (TSHD) that the turning performance of bow tunnel thrusters significantly reduced at slow forward speeds, studied the flow behaviour and performance of bow tunnel thrusters at slow forward speeds using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)....master thesis 2017

Timmer, M.A. (author)Over time much research has been performed on the subject of cavitation. A recent development in this field is the investigation into the behaviour of the cavity within a propeller's tip-vortex. It is found that this cavity can produce a very distinct broadband sound-spectrum which can cause trouble on-board ships either by the sound itself or...master thesis 2015
