Orlandi, Andrea (author), Calastrini, Francesca (author), Kalikatzarakis, Miltiadis (author), Guarnieri, Francesca (author), Busillo, Caterina (author), Coraddu, A. (author)This study introduces a novel framework of metocean prediction and ship performance models that integrate multiple layers of modeling to evaluate the environmental impact of ship emissions. It enables scenario simulations that assess a ship's performance, estimates pollutant emissions, and simulate the fate of these pollutants in the...journal article 2024

de Ridder, Jesse (author)The offshore wind market is rapidly growing, resulting in increasing wind turbine sizes, increasing distances to port, and a shift to deeper waters. A literature study in this thesis shows that existing wind turbine installation vessels, vessels under construction, and innovative concepts will not be able to install next-generation turbines or...master thesis 2023

van Essen, S.M. (author), Scharnke, Jule (author), Seyffert, Harleigh C. (author)For the design of maritime structures in waves, the extreme values of responses such as motions and wave impact loads are required. Waves and wave-induced responses are stochastic, so such responses should always be related to a probability. This information is not easy to obtain for strongly non-linear responses such as wave impact forces....journal article 2023

Ferschtman, Josef (author)In the modern world, environmental concerns arise due to an increase in the green house gas (GHG) emissions of the shipping industry; in 2015, 2,5% of global GHG emissions came from the shipping industry alone. Measures must be set in place to reduce the future emissions. One way to reduce emissions is by imposing the Energy Efficiency Design...master thesis 2022

Rijkens, A.A.K. (author), Mikelic, A. (author)The seakeeping behaviour of naval ships is an important factor for its operational effectiveness, as vessels with good seakeeping abilities are able to go to sea and successfully execute their missions despite possible adverse weather conditions. Hence, it is not surprising that the hydrodynamic assessment of a new frigate type hull forms is...journal article 2022

Tiel, Roos (author)The diffuser stern is part of a design concept from Damen and the TU delft: the interceptor diffuser. This concept aims to improve the seakeeping behavior of fast ships in waves. With PIV measurements, a contribution to the development of the diffuser stern is made. The flow acceleration and detachment are studied, and a comparison with a CFD...master thesis 2021

Bronkhorst, Philip (author)The growth in the offshore wind industry sees an increased demand for offshore service vessels (OSVs). These vessels often operate in harsh conditions, and their performance is heavily dependent on their seakeeping characteristics. Conventional ship design processes fail to effectively consider seakeeping early in the design process, leading to...master thesis 2021

Immink, Leon (author)Within this thesis an attempt is made to improve the seakeeping of a Service Operation Vessel (SOV) by means of an active anti-roll tank (ART). It is researched if the addition of a wave prediction system can improve the ART’s performance. As the seakeeping of the SOV is most important for the installed motion compensated gangway, the...master thesis 2021

Werkman, Joren (author)The comfort assessment of ships is based on several criteria. There are for example criteria for motions, noise and vibrations. The criteria for motions are nowadays often defined as comfort limits on the accelerations in the ship motions. However, from other industries it followed that the rate of change of the accelerations, the jerk, can also...master thesis 2019

van der Kolk, N.J. (author), Keuning, J.A. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author)Wind energy as an auxiliary form of propulsion for commercial ships has again become of great interest as a possible response to volatile fuel prices and increasingly stringent environmental regulations. A well-founded performance prediction tool is a key prerequisite for the further development of this promising technology, and with the support...conference paper 2016

Rotte, G.M. (author), Zverkhovskyi, Oleksandr (author), Kerkvliet, Maarten (author), van Terwisga, T.J.C. (author)Air lubrication techniques are very promising in reducing ship drag. It has been demonstrated that air cavity applications can realise propulsive power reduction percentages of 10-20% due to the reduction of the frictional resistance [1, 2]. However, a complete understanding of the two-phase flow physics involved with air cavity flows is still...conference paper 2016

Bordogna, G. (author), Keuning, J.A. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author), Fossati, Fabio Vittorio (author), Belloli, Marco (author)In recent years wind-assisted propulsion for commercial ships has gained an increasing interest as valuable alternative to reduce fuel pollutant emissions. However, the development of feasible and commercially viable wind propulsion systems to partially (or fully) propel a ship is nowadays hindered by the difficulties of modelling the...conference paper 2016

Choi, B. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author)A bow wave breaking is one of the most prominent factors to be considered regarding the nonlinearity of added resistance for a ship. Considering the stability of the bow wave breaking, which is mostly influenced by the ship speed and the waterline entrance angle, can enhance understanding of the nonlinearity. Understanding of the nonlinearity...conference paper 2016

Jacobi, G. (author), Thill, C.H. (author), Huijsmans, R.H.M. (author)The particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique has become a reliable method for capturing the velocity field and its derivatives, even in complex flows and is now also widely used for validation of numerical codes. As the imaging system is sensitive to vibrations, the application in environments such as towing tanks makes it a challenging task....conference paper 2016

Van Deyzen, A.F.J. (author)The demand to sail at high forward speeds in both calm water and in a seaway remains high. For various patrol, search and rescue or military operations attaining high forward speeds is essential. In head and bow quartering seas, the main factor for voluntary speed reduction is the occurrence of large vertical peak accelerations. The occurrence...doctoral thesis 2014

De Jong, P. (author)In recent years, great progress has been made in both the optimisation of the seakeeping behaviour of fast ships and the development of efficient numerical methods for computation of the seakeeping behaviour of ships in general. The study presented in the thesis aims to integrate both developments. First, the key aspects of the seakeeping...doctoral thesis 2011
