  2. 2. Comparison of Idealized 1D and Forecast 2D Wave Spectra in Ship Response Predictions

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Lars Björnsson; [2013]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Commonly, when calculating ship responses one uses idealized wave spectra to represent the sea. In the idealized model, the sea is frequently assumed to consist of swell and windwaves, which are usually represented by idealized 1D wave spectra, and the directionality of wind-waves is accounted for by multiplication with a standard spreading function.

  3. 3. Modeling of fatigue in RORO ships

    University essay from KTH/Marina system

    Author : Eskil Amundin; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The largest modern Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC’s) are typically 230 meters long and have 13 cargo decks. In order to facilitate rapid loading and unloading these ships have been subject to a development of reducing any obstructing structures in the cargo hold, meaning that the transversal shear preventing structures, i.e. READ MORE

  4. 4. Anti Roll Tanks in Pure Car and Truck Carriers

    University essay from KTH/Farkost och flyg

    Author : Björn Windén; [2009]
    Keywords : Roll damping PCTC U-tube passive tanks parametric; Rulldämpning biltransportfartyg U-tube passiva tankar parametrisk rullning;

    Abstract : This is a master thesis conducted at KTH Centre for Naval Architecture in collaboration with Wallenius Marine AB. Rolling motions is something that is undesired in all kinds of seafaring. In terms of propulsion resistance, comfort and route planning it would be desirable to reduce these motions. READ MORE

  5. 5. Wave Energy Propulsion forPure Car and Truck Carriers(PCTCs)

    University essay from KTH/Farkost och flyg

    Author : Ludvig Af Klinteberg; [2009]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Wave Energy Propulsion for Pure Car and Truck Carriers (PCTC's) The development of ocean wave energy technology has in recent years seena revival due to increased climate concerns and interest in sustainable energy.This thesis investigates whether ocean wave energy could also beused for propulsion of commercial ships, with Pure Car and Truck Carriers(PCTC's) being the model ship type used.
