In this paper, we first conduct an extensive review of published experimental studies on the
added resistance of a ship in waves to establish a common database. The data was …

A comparative study is presented on ship hull resistance and propulsion power prediction
using empirical formulations and a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based solution …

Upon entering shallow waters, ships experience a number of changes due to the
hydrodynamic interaction between the hull and the seabed. Some of these changes are …

The introduction of the energy efficiency design index (EEDI), which is applicable for various
types of new-built ships after January 1, 2013, raised concerns regarding the sufficiency of …

Slow steaming, as one of the operational measures for curbing CO 2 emissions in the
maritime transport industry, has already begun to be implemented, which is evident from …

We present computational methods to reliably predict second order forces and moments
acting on ships in waves. Second order forces and moments are useful to assess a number …

Currently, the shipping industry is facing a great challenge of reducing emissions. Reducing
ship speeds will reduce the emissions in the immediate future with no additional …

The paper summarizes the results of the SHOPERA international benchmark study of
numerical methods for the prediction of time-average wave-induced forces and manoeuvres …

Added resistance in short and long regular head waves for four different ship types was
systematically and extensively investigated using Reynold-averaged Navier Stokes solvers …

An optimal truncated least square support vector machine (LS-SVM) is proposed for the
parameter estimation of a nonlinear manoeuvring model in shallow water. A nonlinear …
