Internship / Graduation Project Validation of measurement tool for high-speed Catamarans
With the increase in fuel prices, fuel consumption has become an important factor when a shipping company decides whether or not to buy a vessel. The reduction of resistance, and thus optimising the hull design of a specific vessel, is the first step towards lower fuel consumption.
Research assignment:
The operating requirements for our ferries are becoming ever more demanding. Ships have to be faster, while at the same time consuming less fuel per nautical mile. The ideal speed is calculated using theoretical models, and then corrected using empirical data. A calculation model has already been developed to predict the resistance of catamarans using this combined data. However, this calculation model still has to undergo validation.
Purpose
The purpose of the project is to validate/assess the existing calculation model in order to be able to predict the wave resistance and the form factors for fast catamarans, and thus provide statistical support for the development of optimal hull designs.
