The purpose of our study is to numerically analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of
multiple wing sails which have three identical wing sails in a row and optimize their shape …

Steady-state smooth surface hydrodynamic lubrications of a pocketed pad bearing, an
angularly grooved thrust bearing, and a plain journal bearing are simulated with the mass …

This study proposes a type of hard sail and investigates its potential use on commercial
vessels for utilizing wind energy. We focus on the performance of cascade sails and …

There is a wide selection of methods and models that can be used to predict and monitor
energy utilisation in ships. There is, however, no single model/method that can be applied …

Research on aerodynamic performance and reduced wind drag acting on hull and large
windward areas of high superstructures, such as passenger ships, container ships, roll on …

Through the use of wind energy the goals of energy conservation and emission reduction
could be realized for ocean-going ships. In this paper the performance coefficients of a sail …

In a previously reported study, wind tunnel experiments were undertaken to investigate the
aerodynamic characteristics of hybrid-sails in isolation. Such sails are seen as providing a …

ABSTRACT A rigid sail is an alternative source of propulsive power for marine vessels and
they have been installed on ocean-going powered ships in the past. To determine the …

The steady sailing performance of a sail-assisted bulk carrier is investigated utilising towing-
tank derived hydrodynamic derivatives and wind tunnel measured aerodynamic properties …

The use of wind-assisted propulsion devices is a proven engineering technique to reduce
the fuel oil consumption and the emitted pollutant gases. Such a device, mainly employed …
