| Abstract |
Supervision of Asif Raza at ULiège - FHR agrees to share a selection of towing tank tests with ULiège upon the following conditions:
- The test selection is based on utility for comparison with CFD computations foreseen
- Dr. Wim Van Hoydonck (FH) should be a member of Asif's PhD commission at ULiège to
- do the quality assurance of CFD computations by Asif using data from FH
- and in this function be a co-author of any publication that uses the above mentioned data
- The work performed by dr. Van Hoydonck is limited to what is considered a normal amount of time for a PhD commission member.
- If the amount of work is to be exceeded or the quality is not granted, dr. Van Hoydonck can stop the project, informing you in due time.
Objectives:
the focus of this research is the hydrodynamics of very shallow and confined waters and its effect on ship performance including the following:
- Understanding of very shallow and confined waters hydrodynamics and its effects on ship performance through literature review.
- Scale effects on frictional resistance, viscous pressure resistance, wave making resistance, wake field, hull-propeller interaction and sinkage/trim in very shallow waters.
- Effect of drift angle on ship resistance in very shallow and confined waters.
- Shallow water effect on wake field distribution.
- An insight into hull-propeller interaction in shallow waters
