Random patterns in fish schooling enhance alertness: a hydrodynamic perspective [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
One of the most highly debated questions in the field of animal swarming and social behaviour, is the collective random patterns and chaotic behaviour formed by some animal species, in particular if there is a danger.

Intelligent Collision Avoidance Method for Ships Based on COLRGEs and Improved Velocity Obstacle Algorithm

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2022
Collision prevention is critical for navigational safety at sea, which has developed rapidly in the past decade and attracted a lot of attention. In this article, an improved velocity obstacle (IVO) algorithm for intelligent collision avoidance of ocean ...

Modelling Manoeuvrability in the Context of Ship Collision Analysis Using Non-Linear FEM

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Ship collisions are rare events that may have a significant impact on the safety of people, ships, and other marine structures, as well as on the environment.

Stopping manoeuvre of high speed vessels fitted with screw and waterjet propulsion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Concern about the increase in high-speed vessel traffic necessitates steps to bring out safety guidelines in order to regulate and improve their manoeuvrability.

Hybrid method for predicting ship manoeuvrability in regular waves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The ship's manoeuvring behaviour in waves is significantly different from that in calm water. In this context, the present work uses a hybrid method combining potential flow theory and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) techniques for the prediction of ...

Iterated nonlinear control of ship's manoeuvring models [PDF]

open access: yes52nd IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, 2013
This paper addresses the control design for a nonlinear vessel manoeuvring model. The authors consider a highly nonlinear vessel 4 DOF model. The proposed control algorithm consists of a combination of an iteration technique that approximates the original nonlinear model by a sequence of linear time varying (LTV) equations whose solution converge to ...

Application of CFD Methods for the Assessment of Ship Manoeuvrability in Shallow Water [PDF]

open access: yesTransNav, 2012
Safety in water transport plays a significant role. One way to increase safety in the waterways is to ensure that ships have proper manoeuvrability. Evaluation of manoeuvring properties performed at an early stage of design can detect problems that later

A Model of Determining the Closest Point of Approach Between Ships on the Open Sea

open access: yesPromet (Zagreb), 2017
The main objective of this paper proposes the model for the decision-making process with the intent of optimising the collision avoidance in the crossing situation on the open sea.

SHIP MOTION SHORT TERM TIME DOMAIN SIMULATOR AND ITS APPLICATION TO COSTA CONCORDIA EMERGENCY MANOEUVRES JUST BEFORE THE JANUARY 2012 ACCIDENT [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
In this paper we will present a simple but reliable methodology for short term prediction of a cruise ship behaviour during manoeuvres. The methodology is quite general and could be applied to any kind of ship, because it does not require the prior ...

Total Ship Operability –Review, Concept and Criteria

open access: yesPolish Maritime Research, 2017
The ship operability can be understood and analysed in different manners, and its quality is described using different indexes by different authors.
