The Foiling Week, July 8th 2014 - Presentation by Doug Schicler and Davide Tagliapietra: "Foil engineering developments. New applications on mono and multi-hull sailing yachts"
Foiling Week™ 2015. July 1st - Presentation by Friso Bergsma: "Foil altitude ...Foiling Week™
Van Oossanen Naval Architects has developed hydrofoils and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools over the last decade. They have designed nearly 100 vessels and currently have 12 under construction. Their CFD analysis uses RANSE solvers with sliding grids and adaptive mesh refinement to simulate hydrofoils in foiling mode. Their development of the Hull Vane device uses CFD to study flow details, with model testing showing the Hull Vane provides forward thrust and reduces resistance by up to 25% for various vessels.
Foiling Week™ 2015. July 2nd - Presentation by Larry Knauer: "The Rave V Wind...Foiling Week™
The document summarizes the design of the RAVE V foiling sailboat, including its V-shaped foils, retractable foil system, A-frame sail rig, and accessibility features. The V-foils generate lift from both submergence and a lifting surface. An A-frame rig simplifies the structure and utilizes triangular strength. The integrated systems are designed for low weight, high speeds, ease of use including for handicapped sailors, and simplifying launching and trailering. The goal is a boat that can exceed 35 knots while being user-friendly.
High Performance Catamaran Design & Optimisation with HyperWorksAltair
This document discusses the design of a high performance C-Class catamaran being built by Team Rafale-ETS to compete in a sailing competition. It provides details on the team members and boat design, including an overview of C-Class catamarans. It then focuses on a case study using Hyperworks software to optimize the design of the hydrofoil through composite modeling and optimization to achieve the desired strength, stiffness and weight requirements. The hydrofoil design was refined through this process and other components of the boat design and analysis were also performed using Hyperworks tools.
The document describes a new hull design called SLICE that allows small ships to operate at high speeds in rough seas. SLICE builds on previous SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) designs by further reducing the waterplane area and shortening the hull length. This allows SLICE vessels to maintain high speeds in larger waves compared to conventional monohulls or catamarans. Testing of a SLICE prototype demonstrated its ability to operate at over 30 knots while producing very low wake wash, using 20-35% less power than comparable designs. The document outlines potential military and commercial applications for SLICE ships.
BMT has developed new hybrid catamaran/SWATH hull designs that offer significantly improved vessel motions in rougher seas compared to conventional high-speed catamarans. These include the MODCAT semi-SWATH design and new eXtreme Semi-Swath (XSS) hull, both aimed at meeting client requirements for passenger comfort while maintaining high speeds. The XSS design in particular combines the motion benefits of SWATH hulls with catamaran speed through the use of waterplane area reduction and active ride control systems.
The document describes a new fast craft concept called Sea Magic that aims to advance high-speed sea transport. Key points include:
1) Sea Magic uses an innovative tri-hull design and composite sandwich construction to reduce drag, increase payload capacity, and improve stability at high speeds up to 50 knots even in rough seas.
2) Various Sea Magic models are proposed for roles like fast support and intervention vessels for offshore oil platforms, with capacities for crew, cargo, fuel, and equipment to perform tasks like emergency response and firefighting.
3) Larger Sea Magic designs like the 180 extend the capabilities with a longer hull to carry more deck cargo and fuel while maintaining high speed. Some variants add features like hel

This document provides an overview of oil well drilling rig systems and equipment in 4 parts. It begins with a disclaimer about the intent to provide general guidance and introduces key drilling systems and equipment. The bulk of the document then describes various rig components in detail, including power systems, hoisting equipment, rotary systems, pipe handling tools, circulating systems, blowout preventers, and deck capacities. It concludes with specifications for a new build drilling rig example.
The document provides an overview of the key facilities and processes involved in ship construction.

Various methods for transferring completed ships into water are also summarized, including slipways, graving docks, and ship lifts.
Mooring analysis involves designing an offshore mooring system to withstand extreme environmental conditions like 100-year storms. Key factors in the mooring layout include the strength of each mooring line, seabed topography, and directions of wind, waves and currents. Common mooring patterns are distributed to balance loads and provide redundancy. Analysis calculates line tensions and vessel excursions in storms, traditionally analyzing mooring and risers separately but now integrated. The purpose is to ensure the vessel stays within acceptable distance limits under worst loads.
An Offshore supply vessel is a multi-task vessel and has to be designed for many different purposes. This is contrary to most other ships used worldwide. In general, the geographical location where the offshore activity takes place is an important indicator of the choice of supply vessel.
Factors like weather conditions, the amount of equipment needed and the distance from the shore are important for what properties the vessel should have. The deep-water oilfield market is becoming more important as the conventional oilfield market in shallow water cannot meet the energy requirements from the consuming market. The Offshore Supply Vessels (hereafter it is called OSVs) market is becoming booming and the demand for OSVs has never reached the extent like today in previous periods.
In this project, an offshore supply vessel will be designed according to ABS Rules.

It also covers topics such as soil classification, anchor types, mooring components, inspection and certification procedures.
Future Shipbuilding & Offshore Opportunities in Myanmar ShipyardsDr. Oliver Massmann
Myanmar Shipyards has the potential for future shipbuilding and offshore opportunities through upgrading facilities and reforming processes. Currently, Myanmar Shipyards has slipway dockyards capable of building vessels up to 2,000 tons and a dry dock for vessels up to 12,000 DWT. However, facilities and capabilities need upgrading, such as improving welding technologies and implementing quality management systems. Myanmar Shipyards is exploring partnerships, including a potential joint venture with Dong A Shipbuilding Industry, to transform the shipyard and build vessels up to 22,000 DWT with modern equipment and technologies. The joint venture aims to develop human resources and access international markets.
This document summarizes a study on simulating the motion response of an intact and damaged ship in head waves using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). It describes setting up CFD cases to analyze the heave and pitch motions of an intact ship model in regular head waves of varying wavelengths. The study also simulates a damaged ship condition and compares the motion responses to the intact case. Areas identified for future work include modeling water intrusion during flooding and simulating more complex sea states with irregular waves.
Hovercraft have the ability to travel over land and water surfaces due to pressurized air being pumped into a plenum chamber and escaping out through a skirt. They consist of a hull, skirt, lifting fans, thrust fans and engines. Hovercraft operate by using lifting fans to create an air cushion that lifts the hull above the surface, while thrust fans provide propulsion. They have advantages like traveling over many surfaces and bypassing routes restricted to boats, but also have disadvantages like potential skirt damage and noise. Future applications of hovercraft in Egypt could include military transportation over the new Suez Canal or connecting lakes and tourist sites.
This document provides an overview of FPSO (floating production storage and offloading) vessel design and systems. It discusses the key components of an FPSO including the hull, mooring systems, fluid transfer systems, topside process facilities, marine systems for cargo handling and offloading, and support utilities.

Helicopters have the unique ability to hover, take off and land vertically, and fly in any direction. Their main distinguishing feature is the ability to hover for extended periods using a rotating wing. This allows helicopters to perform a wide range of missions. Helicopters face challenges in high-speed forward flight due to unequal lift distribution across the rotor blades and vibrations. Various configurations have been developed to counter the reactive torque created by the main rotor, including tail rotors, coaxial rotors, and tiltrotors. Airfoil design for helicopter rotors must account for the changing airspeed and angles of attack experienced throughout each revolution. Advancements in computer modeling have improved airfoil designs and reduced the need for wind tunnel testing

Specific topics covered include velocity triangles, blade cooling methods, ramjet subcritical and supersonic operation, rocket nozzle classifications, solid and liquid propellant selection, ion propulsion, solar sails, and nozzleless concepts.
This document discusses multi-hull vessels, including their history, features, new advancements, and potential drawbacks. It notes that multi-hull vessels originated to provide stability while maintaining a high length-to-beam ratio for speed. Today, many ferries and smaller vessels use catamaran and trimaran designs for their efficiency. New developments include wave-piercing trimarans that can achieve very high speeds and semi-planing mono-hulls with foils for improved seakeeping. However, multi-hull designs also face challenges with docking, construction costs, and applicability in ice.

Offshore platforms are structures installed in bodies of water to facilitate petroleum drilling and production. There are several types of offshore platforms including fixed platforms, compliant platforms, and floating platforms. Fixed platforms are directly fixed to the seabed and include jacket platforms and gravity-based structures. Compliant platforms, like tension leg platforms, use tethers to connect to the seabed and allow for some movement. Floating platforms are not directly attached and include semi-submersibles and FPSOs (floating production, storage, and offloading vessels).
Discuss different conventional hatch including the structural components, testing methods and watertight and weather tight of the hatch cover.
A cargo hatch or deck hatch or hatchway is type of door used on ships and boats to cover the opening to the cargo hold or other lower part of the ship. To make the cargo hold waterproof, most cargo holds have cargo hatch. Hatch covers of ships are designed to be efficient and cost-effective, as an initial investment and during service, and at the same time should suit the demands of the various types of cargo vessels. With the many changing trends of cargo transportation, it would be expected that the design and structure of cargo holds would change to meet the needs of modern shipping. This is clearly evident with container tonnage and the vehicle decks of the Roll-on, Roll-off (Ro-Ro) vessels. However, the changes in the carriage of general cargoes have been comparatively small. This is possible because most merchandise will suit the more popular container or similar unit load movement.
Hold structures have tended to go towards square corners to reduce broken stowage (BS), and suit palletization, pre-slung loads and the use of the fork lift truck inside the holds. Stowage by such vehicles are aided by flush decks in way of the turn of the bilge, as opposed to the angle turn in the sides of the holds of older tonnage.
Some specialist cargoes, like steel coils , still suit conventional holds and clearly would not be compatible inside containers, because of the shape and weight of each item. As with large case goods or castings, which tend to transport better by means of conventional stowage in the more conventional type vessel. Such merchandise is clearly edging towards heavy-lift type loads and these heavier loads are covered in detail here, alongside the designated heavy-lift ship and project cargoes.
The objective of this chapter is to provide an overall picture of an industry sector which is an essential part of cargo handling and general shipping practice. It does not have such a high profile...
The document describes a student project to build a miniature helicopter model to understand helicopter flight. The student determined that circular motion of the blades allows helicopters to lift off the ground by redirecting air downward. Several design iterations were needed as the initial base designs were too heavy for the small motors to lift. The student was eventually able to create propellers large enough that could hover the helicopter by bending and redirecting air beneath the craft, demonstrating the physics of how helicopters fly.
The document discusses the aerodynamic performance and design of the TwinShark glider.

The stem, forecastle, bulbous bow, stern, poop deck, side thrusters, rudder, propeller, paint room, emergency generator room, ballast tanks, bunker tanks, cargo gear, samson post, cargo hold, hatch covers, freeboard, hull, anchor, and keel are also defined.
This document compares different vessel designs for use as oceanographic research vessels, including monohulls, catamarans, and small waterplane area twin hull (SWATH) vessels. Monohulls have less resistance at lower speeds but higher resistance at higher speeds compared to catamarans. Catamarans have better maneuverability due to dual propulsion but can experience stresses between hulls in rough seas. SWATH vessels combine features of catamarans and semi-submersibles, retaining a large deck area while placing displacement below waves for improved motion control and reduced drag. Design considerations and specifications for the research vessel R/V Kilo Moana, a SWATH ship, are provided.
Nicholas Przybysz's engineering design portfolio includes projects involving composites, structural metals, and automotive design. Some of the highlighted projects are a carbon fiber composite door with ballistic armor for the Tacoma, composite parts for motorcycles and snowboards, and designs for helmets, armor, and aerospace equipment. The portfolio demonstrates experience with composite layups, 3D printing, prototyping, and rebuilding vehicles.

The document describes the design of an ultra deep water rigid and flexible pipelay/heavy lift/DP3 construction vessel. Some key details include:
It is 178 meters long with a breadth of 46 meters and draft of 15.6 meters. It can accommodate 239 people and has a deadweight of 11,000 tons. It is equipped with a 3000 ton crane, 1200 ton reels, 1250 ton carousels, and dynamic positioning system. Extensive analyses and testing were performed to optimize the hull design and ensure operational safety in various sea states.
The document discusses how SpiralWeld technologies were used to remanufacture brake pull rods for steam locomotives being restored by a preservation society. The rods were corroded and worn, rendering their threads unusable. SpiralWeld analyzed the metal, machined the rods to remove damaged threads, applied overlay welding to rebuild the threads, and machined the rods to their original specifications. This process preserved the original parts and allowed the locomotives to be restored closer to their original condition, helping the preservation society's efforts.
This document provides information about the core of a high-rise building. It defines a core as a vertical space used for circulation and services like elevators, staircases, and mechanical systems. Cores allow efficient distribution of these services to floors. The document discusses different core types and considerations for placement of mechanical and plumbing systems, as well as toilet access. Elevator types, sizes, and fire safety standards are also outlined.

July 8th 2014 - Presentation by Mario Caponnetto: "CFD method for foil design"Foiling Week™
1) CFD methods have advanced to the point where they can provide results equivalent to wind tunnel and towing tank tests for most standard naval architecture computations.
2) Early CFD methods like panel and lifting surface methods provided simplified approximations that captured basic aerodynamic behavior but were limited by their neglect of viscosity.
3) Modern VOF solvers can model complex free surface phenomena like spray, waves, cavitation, and ventilation that are important for high-speed marine foils.
