In recent years, research into ships has focused on reducing emissions, consuming less
energy, and being more efficient. As a result, the maritime industry has been continuing in a …

A design method for pre-swirl stators energy saving devices, using a combined BEM-
RANSE approach, is proposed. RANSE calculations, using actuator disks, are employed to …

This paper investigates the effect of different flow models on the Pre-Swirl-Stator structural
response from the perspective of a non-existing unified design procedure. Due to viscous …

This paper presents the numerical procedure for Pre-Swirl Stator (PSS) structural design
with emphasis on wave induced hydrodynamic loads. The procedure consists of three main …

This paper presents the investigation of the dynamic effects in the structural response of a
Pre-Swirl Stator. The implemented model is based on the modal superposition which …

Stringent rules and regulations to reduce ship environmental footprint and continuous aim to
improve the propulsion efficiency stimulate development of different technical solutions …

With the mandatory implementation of Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI), higher
requirements are put forward on the energy-saving capacity of ships. The fact that 15–30 …

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the risks associated with green retrofit
projects in Sri Lanka in order to develop a risk responsive framework. Design/methodology …

Hydrodynamic energy saving devices (ESD) have been widely explored as an effective
alternative to improve energy efficiency of vessels by reducing losses across propellers …

Pre-swirl fins-based energy saving devices (ESDs) have been designed to improve the
propulsive performances of twin-screw ships. To this aim, a combined BEM/RANSE method …
