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 ...

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Fouling organisms reduce a ship’s fuel efficiency and disturb the ecosystem. Therefore, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) and many nations have enacted laws that mandate periodic hull cleaning for removing fouling organisms. However, cleaning

Capturing the effect of biofouling on ships by incremental machine learning [PDF]
Applied Ocean Research, 2023 Performance data from ships is subject to distributional shifts, sometimes referred to as concept drift. In this study, synthetic monitoring data is simulated for the KVLCC2, considering publicly available reference data and a semi-empirical simulation framework.
