Since 2013 MARIN USA has its own simulator available at the location in Houston as a bridge between engineering and operations. The simulator allows direct interaction between engineers and operational personnel and opens new possibilities for more operational input in the design. Providing clients with: Interaction between engineers and mariners for optimized designs Assistance in
Visit us in the ‘Maritime by Holland’ Pavilion of HME at the Marintec China 2017 Conference & Exhibition. MARIN will again be exhibiting together with SSSRI China to discuss and show the latest developments in hydrodynamics. Join us in the Holland Pavillion. Visit stand number N1F51-14. Marintec China 2017 MARIN/SSSRI Joint Venture
Due to concerns about its effect on marine life, shipping noise is receiving increasing attention within the maritime industry. The primary noise source is known to be the cavitating propeller. In order to check compliance with class rules and upcoming environmental regulations, underwater radiated noise can be predicted during the design of a vessel using
MARIN and Singapore Polytechnics organised their first joint seminar on the ‘Future of Maritime Safety’ on October 6th. The presentations in the morning session had a more people-centric view; the presentations in the afternoon were more technology focused. Key areas identified during the workshop which are relevant for future maritime safety were Training, Human error
MARIN cannot be missed at Europort, the international exhibition for maritime technology in Rotterdam. Some 1,100 exhibiting companies will present their latest innovations. MARIN welcome you to stand 8217 / Hall 8 in the Holland Pavilion of Netherlands Maritime Technology.
Measuring the size and concentration of micro-scale bubbles has long been recognized as important, since these nuclei directly influence cavitation inception. In this study, a nuclei measurement technique based on Interferometric Particle Imaging (IPI) is developed. The technique consists of a continuous wave laser, a high-speed camera and a data-processing algorithm. It was first applied
RINA as Europort Rotterdam Conference Partner is organising a conference on November 8 during the Europort Exhbition: Power & Propulsion Alternatives for Ships. The current use of alternative fuels and renewable energy sources within the shipping industry is still relatively low. Growing environmental legislation and concerns are driving the need to develop and apply innovative
The numerical solution of a statistically steady flow problem is typically obtained in an iterative process. For a given mathematical model, including boundary conditions, the accuracy of the solution is governed by spatial resolution of the grid, spatial discretisation schemes and the convergence tolerance, which says when the solution is considered to have reached a
There is again a chance to meet MARIN at the SNAME Maritime Convention & Exhibition, this year in Houston, October 24-28. Join MARIN at stand 301 to discuss the latest developments in maritime research. Contact Frans Quadvlieg to set a meeting or for more information.
The goal of the present work is to improve the prediction of propeller performance at model-scale using a local correlation transition model. Results are presented for two marine propellers for which paint-tests have been conducted and experimental open-water data is available. The numerical results using the k-omega SST turbulence model and the gamma-Re_theta transition model
