6. RoBuoy : Dynamic Positioning of an Autonomous Buoy using GNSS
University essay from KTH/MekatronikAbstract : Buoys anchored to the seabed are often used for marking courses in competitive sailing and other water sports, but they may need to be relocated several times per day. To avoid the time and fuel consuming labour of raising and moving the anchors, a prototype of an autonomous buoy using electric motors to maintain its position was built and tested. READ MORE

7. Undocumented oil leakages : A study about stern tube seals and leakages
University essay from Linnéuniversitetet/Sjöfartshögskolan (SJÖ)Abstract : The majority of the vessels in the commercial fleet utilize oil lubricated stern tubes. Unfortunately, this brings about a risk of oil leaking from the stern tube into the marine environment if the stern tube seal would become worn or damaged by foreign materials. Previous studies concluded that, on average, 2. READ MORE

8. Analysis and Initial Optimization of The Propeller Design for Small, Hybrid-Electric Propeller Aircraft
University essay from KTH/FlygdynamikAbstract : This thesis focuses on the optimization of the electric aircraft propeller in order to increaseflight performance. Electric aircraft have limited energy, particularly the electricmotor torque compared to the fuel engine torque. For that, redesign of the propeller forelectric aircraft is important in order to improve the propeller efficiency. READ MORE

9. Regression Models of 3D Wakes for Propellers
University essay from Karlstads universitet/Institutionen för ingenjörsvetenskap och fysik (from 2013)Abstract : In this work, regression models for the wake field entering a propeller at certain axial andnominal position have been proposed. Wakes are non-uniform flows following a body immersedin a viscous fluid. We have proposed models for the axial and tangential velocity distribution asfunctions of ship hull and propeller measures.
