Time-dependent biofouling growth model for predicting the effects of biofouling on ship resistance and powering [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2019 This paper presents a time-dependent biofouling growth model which enables prediction of the effect of biofouling on ship resistance and powering for day-to-day evaluation. Initially, antifouling coating tests data were employed in the model to predict coating performance over time by considering the ship operating profile and shipping route.

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2020 Biofouling is a long-standing challenge for ships because it can interfere with operations and increases vessel drag, fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. More recently, ship biofouling has also been recognized as a leading vector for global transfers

Predicting the effect of biofouling on ship resistance using CFD [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2017 This paper proposes a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based unsteady RANS model which enables the prediction of the effect of marine coatings and biofouling on ship resistance and presents CFD simulations of the roughness effects on the resistance and effective power of the full-scale 3D KRISO Container Ship (KCS) hull.

Low salinity as a biosecurity tool for minimizing biofouling on ship sea chests [PDF]
Ocean Science, 2018 Biofouling is a major vector in the transfer of non-native species around the world. Species can be transported on virtually all submerged areas of ships (e.g.

Debris capture during in-water cleaning of ship biofouling
Frontiers in Marine ScienceShip biofouling interferes with vessel operations and spreads non-indigenous species. While in-water cleaning (IWC) with debris capture is increasingly promoted as a management strategy, key elements remain poorly defined, including which materials must ...

An investigation into the effect of biofouling on the ship hydrodynamic characteristics using CFD [PDF]
Ocean Engineering, 2019 To reduce the fuel consumption and green-house gas emissions of ships, it is necessary to understand the ship resistance. In this context, understanding the effect of surface roughness on the frictional resistance is of particular importance since the skin friction, which often takes a large portion in ship drag, increases with surface roughness ...

A Review of Biofouling of Ships’ Internal Seawater Systems [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 Internal seawater systems (ISS) are critical to the proper functioning of maritime vessels. Sea water is pumped on board ships for a broad array of uses, primarily for temperature control (e.g., engine and electrical systems), cooling capacity (e.g., air conditioners and refrigeration), and water provision (e.g., drinking, firefighting, steam, and ...

International Journal of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering, 2021 Biofouling represents an important problem in the shipping industry since it causes the increase in surface roughness. The most of ships in the current world fleet do not have good coating condition which represents an important problem due to strict ...

Analysis of the Influence of an Anti-Fouling Agent on the Corrosion Behavior of Typical Metal Materials for Ship [PDF]
Cailiao Baohu, 2023 To apply anti-marine biofouling agents in the fields of marine engineering and ships, not only the antifouling effectiveness, but also their impact on the corrosion safety of engineering structural materials should be seriously considered and evaluated ...
