Marine, Offshore and Ice Technology

Part 1: Computer system for calculation of flow, resistance and propulsion of a ship at the design stage; optimization of ship hydrodynamic design, viscous flow visualization around cylinders of arbitrary shape by a vortex method; the effect of Transom on the wave resistance of a ship; the improvement of ship mechanical equipment maintainability through design; anti-seismic design methodologies applied to offshore structures; load prediction due to green water on deck mounted equipment for floating bodies; application of multicriteria programming techniques to sandwich beam design; tow and turning manoeuvring characteristics of a fishing vessel; risk assessment of ship/platform collision; numerical simulation of sloshing in tanks; mathematical simulation of ship manoeuvres in unbounded and restricted seas; design method for propeller/propulsors on axisymmetric bodies; developments in modelling ship rudder-propeller interaction. Part 2: the effect of ice covering aquatorium free surface on underkeel clearance for a vessel going in shallow water; pressure-area curve dependence on contact condition between ice sheet and structure; compressive strength and structure of sea ice in the Weddell Sea, Antarctica; modelling of strength anisotropy for sea ice under 3-D loading conditions - third order solution wave motion under ice sheet; ice control using a newly developed ice boom.
