  1. 1. Probabilistic Added Wave Resistance Predictions for Design of RoPax Ferries

    University essay from KTH/Lättkonstruktioner, marina system, flyg- och rymdteknik, rörelsemekanik

    Author : Jonathan Viinikka; [2023]
    Keywords : Added wave resistance in head waves; Roll-on Roll-off Passenger ferry; Probabilistic wave environment; Semi-empirical method; Adderat vågmotstånd i motsjö; Roll-on Roll-off Passagerar Fartyg; Probabilistiska vågförhållanden; Semiempiriska beräkningsmethoder;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates reasons for significant uncertainties in added wave resistance predictionsand how wave conditions can potentially affect the design of RoPax ferries. The objectiveis to find a suitable prediction method of added wave resistance for the RoPax ferry designapplication. READ MORE

  3. 2. Wave Damping by Vegetation at Bunkeflo Salt Meadows - Applying an empirical model based on plant biomass

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Charlie van Houwelingen; Timothy Ley; [2021]
    Keywords : Coastal protection; nature-based solutions; salt marshes; salt meadows; sea level rise; wave damping; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Future sea level rise due to climate change increases the risk of coastal flooding and thus necessitates the building of dikes and other protective structures. Coastal vegetation can reduce the impact of waves on such structures by dissipating wave energy and hence reduce incoming wave heights. READ MORE

  4. 3. Flex square : a robust and flexible square for today’s contemporary dilemmas Stora torget, Falköping

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Landscape Architecture, Planning and Management (from 130101)

    Author : Josefine Ögren; [2021]
    Keywords : public urban spaces; urban spaces; square; robust city; covid-19; climate change; landscape architecture; design; urban design;

    Abstract : The year 2020 will be remembered as a year that both shook and changed our society completely when the COVID-19 pandemic spread and affected people all around the world. Never before in modern times have green urban public spaces been as important for both the citizens and for the environment. READ MORE

  5. 4. Rotation of man-made floating islands : Evaluation of different design approaches to allow rotational movement in anchoring of a sustainable island

    University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Institutionen för maskinteknik

    Author : Mathias Petersson; [2021]
    Keywords : Sustainability; rotation; complex anchoring; anchoring floating objects; man-made island;

    Abstract : Abstract   Background The sea levels have risen about 10 cm since 1993 and will continue to rise due to global warming along with the expected increase in population. The rise will decrease the available landmass for settlements and raw material production. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development and Optimization of Press Fit Model between the Novi Ocean Upper Cylinder Section and Lower Float Body

    University essay from KTH/Maskinkonstruktion (Avd.)

    Author : Suhas Murali; [2020]
    Keywords : Product development; Wave Energy Converter; Bearings; Contact Pressure; Produktutveckling; Wave Energy Converter; lager; kontakttryck;

    Abstract : About 3/4th percentage of Earth’s surface is covered with water, the demand for harnessing energy from the ocean is increasing periodically. This form of energy conversion is Wave Energy. This method is practised all around the world, Novi-Ocean by Novige AB is one of its kind where they aim to build a wave energy converter. READ MORE
