  • Marine Engineering the trimaran hull form - Opportunities and constraints
    1998
    Co-Authors: Alistair Greig, Rwg Bucknall
    Abstract:

    The trimaran hull form has been gaining a great deal of attention from Naval Architects recently, both in Europe and the USA. A 100m trimaran is planned for completion in 2000 as a technology demonstratorfor the Royal Navy's Future Escort Frigate programme and the US Navy is taking an active part in this project; other NATO navies and the US Coast Guard have also shown a keen interest. 1 In Finland, Kvaerner-Masa have put forward a concept design for a 35kt trimaran cruise liner. The trimaran hull form offers a number of ad vantages over a monohull and for many roles it is seen to be superior. The aim of this paper is to introduce the trimaran to a Marine Engineering audience, highlighting its benefits and constraints. It will then concentrate on how these features impinge on the Marine Engineering design of the vessel. It will show that for the trimaran concept to be a success, the Marine Engineering of the vessel must be considered from the outset of the design and that the three long thin hulls of the vessel make it very sensitive to alterations in machinery fit.

  • Application of bond graphs for mathematical modelling and simulation of Marine Engineering systems
    Transactions of the Institute of Marine Engineers, 1998
    Co-Authors: H. Engja, Rwg Bucknall, J. Flower, D. J. Mattick, M. Atherton
    Abstract:

    The use of numerical models and simulation during development, testing and operation of Marine Engineering systems is becoming more and more an important tool as modern computer capability increases rapidly. Despite the latest development of powerful numerical methods and computer capability, the preparation of a mathematical model in a proper form is not a trivial task, particularly when the system is non-linear and involves more than one energy domain, as for most Marine Engineering systems. This paper, therefore, introduces the unified graphical modelling methodology called bond graphs. This notation is shown to lead to a graphical model description of a physical system very much resembling a chemical bond diagram in appearance and can be manipulated in an algorithm fashion to produce the system differential equations, or even processed directly by computer. The modelling methodology and some useful features of bond graphs are presented through a compound Marine Engineering system

  • Applications and perspectives on microfluidic technologies in ships and Marine Engineering: a review
    Microfluidics and Nanofluidics, 2017
    Co-Authors: Junsheng Wang, Myint Myint Maw, Bowen Dai, Ge Wang, Zong Jiang
    Abstract:

    More than 71% of the earth’s surface area is occupied by ocean, and the shipping has become one of the most common forms of transportation. There are many applications for rapid on-site detection in ships and Marine Engineering in general. However, owing to the limited space and environmental conditions, large-scale laboratory equipment cannot be utilized on ships and offline examination methods cannot meet the needs for rapid detection and analysis of problems. Microfluidic technologies provide an excellent platform where various biological and chemical reactions can be completed on very small microfluidic chips. The combination of microfluidic technologies and ship and Marine Engineering will have important theoretical significance and practical value. These applications mainly include ballast water analysis, lubricating oil analysis, monitoring oil spill, ship exhaust gas detection and ship sewage detection. Therefore, in this paper, we have summarized the current applications of microfluidic technologies in ships and Marine Engineering and suggested prospects for the potential research directions in the future.
