Full textEstimating the performances of ship maneuverability is a necessary stage to guarantee the safety of the crew and of the surrounding environment. The objective of this PhD thesis is to adapt a free surface Navier-Stokes computational code in order to be used for a submarine or ship maneuverability modeling. The first chapters are dedicated to the definition of Navier-Stockes equations and their linearization and discretization that are used for the numerical scheme. Then, a brief chapter presents the different mesh topologies and advantages of using the multi-block meshing approach. The developments implemented into the code to take into account this innovating meshing topology are presented, as well as a the associated validation test cases. The overall functionabilities needed for an auto-propulled maneuvering ship are then detailed. The CPU time must be relatively low since the numerical code is dedicated to an industrial use. Hence, a description of optimization and parallelization stages performed on the initial single-block code is described. To conlude, the two last chapters present a validation test case end possible industrial applications enable by the developments performed. The validation test case is performes on a submarine (DARPA SUBOFF) on a wide range of fixed model configurations, and results are compared to experimental hydrdynamic coefficient. Possible configurations of submarine or ship maneuverability in auto-propolled and free model configurations are presented, such as turning cricle maneuver, pullout, zigzag. .

Full textThe use of CMOS-APS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor-Active Pixel Sensor) photodetector arrays instead of CCD (Coupled Charge Device) in the star tracker applications is studied. Star trackers associated technologies and methods are first exposed. In a second time, characterisation of an APS imaging is done. The same study concerning the gyros is conducted. A conclusion allows to estimate the necessary modifications concerning the computation operations. The algorithmical approach is then examined. Two star pattern recognition algorithms, noise tolerant, are proposed. Data fusion methods, based on Kalman filter and REQUEST (REcursive QUaternion EStimator) alogithm are studied. Optimal solutions are selected to result to an attitude measurement system composed of an APS imaging array hybridised with an tri-axis gyro bloc. This system is high dynamic robust, delivers a high frequency attitude information, has a low power consumption and uses low cost components
Bigi, Nedeleg. "Investigation of the dynamic motions and operability of a ship towed by kite." Thesis, Brest, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017BRES0133/document.
Full textIn order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and shipping costs, the use of kites as an auxiliary propulsion device for ships is promising. In order to estimate the performance and the operability of a kite-towed vessel, a dynamic modeling of the system is implemented. A classical kite modeling is used. This model neglects the mass of the kite and assumes straight and inelastic tethers. These assumptions lead to a kinematic model depending on the lift coefficient and the aerodynamic lift to drag ration angle. A linear evolution of these aerodynamic coefficients as a function of the curvature of the flight path is proposed. In addition, by developing a quasi-analytical line model, it is shown that from 2 m.s-1 of relative wind the straight tether assumption is reasonable. Based on the tether model, an analytical criterion assessing the minimum wind speed to enable a quasi-static kite flight is developed. To solve all the interaction terms between the kite and the ship, a time domain seakeeping model based on the linearized ship equation of motion assuming a potential flow is developed. The convolution product of the impulse response of the ship is computed with state-space systems. However, since horizontal ship motions are not well represented by such theories, a coupling with a maneuvering model is presented.Comparisons to experimental data tests show good agreements. To study the interactions between the kite and the ship, a monolithic coupling and a dissociated coupling are compared. The dissociated coupling neglects the influence of ship motions on the kite flight. In a calm water case, results obtained by the two types of coupling are very close. In regular waves, ship motions are dominated by the wave influence. Thus, with the monolithic coupling, a network of low frequency subharmonic appears in the kite excitation spectrum. The fundamental frequency of the subharmonic is given by the difference between the wave frequency and the frequency of the nearest kite excitation harmonic. When this difference is small enough, a lock-in phenomenon appears. This phenomenon is a benefit for the kite and the ship when the shift of the excitation harmonics corresponds to an increase. Furthermore, a course keeping stability study shows that the rudder needs to be actively controlled

Du, Peng. "Numerical modeling and prediction of ship maneuvering and hydrodynamics during inland waterway transport." Thesis, Compiègne, 2018. http://www.theses.fr/2018COMP2459.
Full textIn this thesis, the ship hydrodynamics during inland waterway transport and ship maneuvering are investigated using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) based onOpenFoam. Validation and verification studies are carried out for the mesh convergence, time step convergence, sensitivity to turbulence models and dynamic mesh techniques. A quaternion-based 6DoF motion solver is implemented for the trim and sinkage predictions. Environmental effects on several inland vessels (convoy 1, convoy 2, tanker) are studied using the validated numerical models. Three important aspects, the confinement effect of the waterway, head-on encounter and ship-bridge pile interaction are simulated. The testing conditions cover a wide range, including various channel dimensions, water depths, ship draughts and speeds. The ship resistance, wave pattern, Kelvin angle and wave elevation at specific positions are investigated as functions of these parameters. Ship maneuvering is investigated using virtual captive model tests based on the MMG (Mathematical Maneuvering Group) model. An actuator disk is implemented to replace the real propeller. Open water test, rudder force test, OTT (Oblique Towing Tank test) and CMT (Circular Motion Test) of a KVLCC2 model are carried out to obtain the hydrodynamic coefficients of the propeller, rudder and ship hull. Using the obtained coefficients, system-based maneuvering simulations are carried out and validated using the free running test data. These studies reproduce real ship tests and thus prove the validity of our numerical models. As a result, the numerical solver is promising in ship hydrodynamics and marine engineering simulations

There are four types of aerial manoeuvrability for creatures: flapping flight, classical gliding, directed aerial descent and parachuting. Directed aerial descent refers to the locomotion of wingless arthropods to quickly perform aerial righting after falling, keeping the ventral surface downward and controlling the direction of landing (e.g., spiders and arboreal bristletails). Previous studies have found that arboreal wingless arthropods can exhibit good directed aerial descent abilities. Among them, the canopy gliding ants are vulnerable to wind, birds, or other predators when they are active. They fall from high places to avoid threats, and use the swing of the appendage to control the aerodynamic force and aerial righting quickly. Landing posture to increase the success rate of belly landing on the original trunk. The purpose of the study was to observe the aerial manoeuvrability of ant workers in different habitats in Taiwan. The ant was dropped from the wind tunnel and recorded with a high speed camera. It was found that the arboreal ants quickly righting the body and balanced it with the aerodynamics when falling, and there were two kinds of aerial righting postures. However, there was no aerial ability for ground – dwelling ants. The arboreal ants have a higher chance to move horizontally and can use the posterior leg to attach to the wall of the working area, while the ground – dwelling ants tend to fall vertically. Through this study, we learned that Taiwan's arboreal ants have better aerial manoeuvrability and understand the behavior of ants in the wild.

This research aims to provide safety criteria for collision avoidance based on ship’s manoeuvrability, including of COLREGS-compliant strategies, magnitude of course alteration and critical time to manoeuvre. A model of the dynamic game of complete information (DGCI) is adopted to analyze the two stages of overtaking, head-on and crossing situations so that the COLREGS-complaint strategies are obtained. The magnitude of course alteration and the alteration time are determined by algebraic equations which are derived from the geometric properties. Considering ship’s manoeuvrability, an equation for estimating the physical time delay is derived from the MSC.137(76) Standards for Ship Manoeuvrability. The critical time for stand-on vessel can be determined by alteration time and physical time delay based on the definition of close-quarters situations. It subsequently serves as an alteration point for give-way vessel. The magnitude of course alteration for give-way vessel can thus be yielded by its alteration time. With correction of the physical time delay, the critical time for give-way vessel can be determined. Finally, three real cases are analyzed to verify the proposed approaches and demonstrate that they can serve as criteria to ensure navigation safety for practical applications.
