Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The motion of floating bodies in waves is one of the most characteristic research areas in the field of naval and ocean engineering. Seakeeping performance is a crucial aspect, not only for conventional vessels like cargo ships, but also for high-speed crafts such as patrol boats and naval ships, and offshore structures. It plays a significant role in ensuring the efficiency and safety of these vessels and marine systems during operations at sea. The development of autonomous navigation technologies and the increasing demand for eco-friendly energy carriers have made it imperative to understand and optimize the seakeeping performance of vessels engaged in the transport of LNG and liquid hydrogen. This Special Issue aims to gather cutting-edge scientific papers on ship stability and safety, focusing on wave-induced motions and effects.

This study focused on optimizing the power generation of a heaving point-absorber wave energy converter (HPA-WEC) by integrating submerged breakwaters. An optimization analysis was conducted based on a framework developed in the authors’ previous work, aiming to maximize the capture width ratio (CWR) by inducing Bragg resonance. Numerical simulations were conducted using a two-dimensional frequency domain boundary element method (FD-BEM) under irregular wave conditions. Advanced particle swarm optimization (PSO) was used for the optimization, with design variables that included the power take-off (PTO) damping coefficient, spring constant, and position and shape of the submerged breakwaters. The results showed that the CWR almost doubled when two breakwaters were used compared with the case without breakwaters. The CWR significantly increased, even with only one breakwater installed behind the WEC. A coastal stability analysis showed that installing two breakwaters provided the best performance, reducing the transmitted wave energy by approximately 25%. Furthermore, the CWR reached its maximum when the distance between the breakwater endpoints equaled the wavelength of the peak wave frequency, indicating the occurrence of Bragg resonance. This study underscores the potential of submerged breakwaters in enhancing power generation and coastal stability in the design of HPA-WECs. Full article

When tidal turbines are deployed in water areas with significant waves, assessing the surface wave effects becomes imperative. Understanding the dynamic impact of wave–current conditions on the fluid dynamic performance of tidal turbines is crucial. This paper aims to establish a fundamental understanding of the influence of surface waves on tidal turbines. OpenFOAM, an open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) library platform, is utilized to predict the performance of current turbine under waves and currents. This research investigates the effects of two critical wave parameters, wave height and wavelength, on the fluid dynamics and wake structures of current turbine. Additionally, this study explores the influence of various submersion depths on turbine performance. The findings indicate that, under various wave conditions, the turbine’s average power coefficient remains constant, but significant fluctuations are shown. Increasing submersion depth can mitigate the impact of waves. However, in regions characterized by longer wavelengths, altering the submersion depth has limited effects on turbine performance.

This paper explains the evaluation process of seakeeping performance for small vessels using a CFD-modified potential (CMP) model, a hybrid simulation model that modifies the damping ratio with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) after analyzing ship motion based on the linear potential theory. From the result of the motion analysis using the CMP model, the seakeeping performance of a small vessel (a barge here) was evaluated on the basis of the single significant amplitude (SSA) under the sea states 2~4. The results of the motion RAOs and seakeeping performance evaluation were verified through comparison with the results obtained by performing model tests and potential flow programs only. In all sea states, the relative errors (compared to the experiment) of roll motion using the CMP model were relatively small compared to the results using the potential flow program and tended to decrease more as the sea state increased. On the other hand, the results of pitch motion using the CMP model were underestimated in all sea states compared to the experiment. However, it is seen that they are relatively closer to the experiment compared to the results using a potential flow program only. Full article

Improving the cognition and numerical accuracy of stability failure is urgent for carrying forward the direct assessment stability of the new-generation performance-based criteria for intact stability issued by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 2020. Firstly, the CFD method utilizing commercial software is developed for predicting stability failure in following seas. The CFD method employed overlapping grid techniques to achieve coupled motion calculations with a free-running model. The actual propeller rate, the implemented auto polite course-keeping, the coupled effect of the ship hull–propeller–rudder, and the instantaneous wet hull are considered in the CFD method. Secondly, a comprehensive 6-DOF mathematical model, employing the MMG framework and potential flow theory, is utilized to predict stability failure in the following waves. The radiation and diffraction forces are calculated around the mean wet hull using an enhanced strip method, and the FK and hydrostatic forces are calculated around the exact wet hull in waves. Thirdly, the occurrence of pure stability loss and subsequent large roll motions or capsizing for the ONR tumblehome ship are simulated by the time domain CFD and potential flow method. Finally, the computed results are cross-referenced with the available experimental data, and the trends of maximum roll angle are found to be consistent with the test data. Additionally, the alterations in thrust and torque exerted by the twin rudders and propellers are assessed across various sailing speeds, as well as the characteristics of the flow field distribution around the hull and appendages during capsizing at the critical sailing speed, which are newly analyzed by the CFD method.

In this study, a model test was carried out to evaluate the station-keeping performance of Korea Research Institute of the Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) standard semi-submersible, K-Semi in the Deep Ocean Engineering Basin (DOEB). The test was performed using a 1/50 scaled model with 12 mooring lines. The water depth was set to 3.2 m using a moveable bottom structure and truncated mooring lines. The dynamic behavior of the K-Semi was examined using a free decay test and regular wave as well as irregular wave tests of 1800. Large surge, heave and pitch due to drift motion from second-order effect were observed. The reason for the excessive low-frequency pitch motion is attributed to the restoring force and moment related to the mooring system as excessive surge occurred. The numerical model of K-Semi with the truncated mooring system was tuned and calibrated using model test results such as free decay and regular wave tests. Through numerical analysis, the motion characteristics of the K-Semi were compared with irregular model test results. In the case of a semi-submersible using a mooring system, it is observed that excessive pitch motion due to vertical restoring force and moment may occur when large horizontal displacement occurs. The effect of low-frequency pitch motion related to surge motion is an important factor in upwell estimation as well as second-order motion in referred DNV-GL OTG13. Full article
