4th JMSE Webinar
Energy-Saving Devices for Ships
Energy-saving devices for ships have become a subject of intensive research and development in recent times, aiming at reducing fuel consumption and emissions and contributing to Blue Growth. A particular class deals with devices controlling the hydrodynamic flow properties, leading to drag reduction, improving the hull–propeller interaction and the propeller performance. Another important category is based on the exploitation of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar to improve the overall ship performance. Many of the developed systems are considered particularly suitable for retrofitting seagoing vessels. The investigation should consider not only the improvement of the calm water performance of ships but also the system operation in realistic sea-states of moderate and higher severity.
The webinar will cover various topics as: Energy-saving devices improving ship hydrodynamic performance; Renewable energy powered marine vehicles; Biomimetic systems and flapping thrusters; Systems augmenting ship propulsion in waves; Experimental and computational ship hydrodynamics etc.
