Hydrodynamic Interaction Effects on Tugs Operating within the Midship Region alongside Large Ships
Jayarathne, N; Leong, Z; Ranmuthugala, D (2016)This paper presents the findings of a numerical and experimental study to investigate the interaction effects induced on a tug operating within the midship region of a large ship at varying drift angles and lateral distances ... -
Hydrodynamics Design Considerations for Underwater Vehicles
Ranmuthugala, D; Leong, Z (2016)Underwater vehicles, such as Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) and submarines, require a number of considerations during their design, such as operational requirements including range, speed and profile; weight balance; ... -
Safe Operation of Tugs within Close Proximity to the Forward and Aft Regions of Ships
Jayarathne, N; Leong, Z; Ranmuthugala, D (2017)When tugs are used for ship assist manoeuvers, hydrodynamic interaction effects between them can adversely affect the safety and handling of the tug. During such manoeuvers, tugs need to frequently change their location ...
