Abstract: The paper presents calm water and head wave simulation results for a KRISO Container Ship (KCS) model. All simulations have been performed using the open source CFD toolkit, OpenFOAM. Initially, a systematic verification ...

Abstract: A formulation is presented for the assessment of the reliability of a local ship hull structure regarding fatigue failure. The potential cracks are considered to occur in the side shell, in ...

Abstract: The probabilistic structure of the bivariate distribution of sea wave heights and periods in sea states with two-peaked spectra is examined by means of numerically simulated wave records. ...

Abstract: Wave data obtained from simulations from an offshore basin and from field measurements were used to provide an assessment of the adequacy of describing the most likely time trace profile around ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of an experimental investigation of the shipping of water on the bow of a containership. Model tests were carried out in head regular and irregular waves of ...

Abstract: The peak to trough distributions of nonlinear high sea waves in bimodal sea states in deep water are investigated. The statistical distribution of wave height is first analyzed by considering ...

Abstract: The present paper adopts a Bayesian approach to update some of the parameters of the probability distributions governing the reliability assessment of maintained floating structures. It is based ...

Abstract: Results of an experimental program with a model of a moored floating production storage and offloading vessel are used to study the probability distributions associated with various phenomena ...
