The hubless rim-driven thruster (RDT) has become increasingly interesting for ship
propulsion. Gap flow has been proven as the main feature of RDT that cannot be simply …

Improved delayed detached-eddy simulations (IDDES) on the computational domain
composed of 48 million cells were employed to numerically simulate the propeller wake with …

This study focuses on the experimental assessment of the EU H2020 Innovation Action
project GATERS'target ship, a 7241 DWT multi-purpose dry cargo ship (M/V ERGE), scaled …

This paper focuses on the scale effect on the propulsion discrepancy and the correlating
flow characteristics of a high-speed ship with four waterjets. The propulsion discrepancy of a …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool used to predict the resistance
characteristics of a ship. However, it is important to determine the numerical and modelling …

Saving energy of ships are key research topics in the ship** industry, and the scale effect
of energy-saving devices is a critical issue. Based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes …

ABSTRACT The Gate Rudder System (GRS) is an innovative energy-saving device
integrating the steering and propulsion of ships. Despite demonstrated potential, optimal …

Supplying oil to bearings rapidly over long distances presents a challenge for splash
lubrication systems in drive axle main reducers (DAMRs), mainly because of inadequate …

Floe ice fields are expected to replace level ice to be the most common environment for
future polar sea transportation under the long-term trend of global warming. In this study, the …

The instability and evolution mechanisms of propeller wakes are of vital significance to the
development of next-generation propulsion devices with better hydrodynamic and noise …
