PROJECT DETAILS

B.E. Project:

Design of 30,000 Tonnes Dwt Bulk Carrier with Service Speed of 15.0 knots:
The objective of this project was to fix the preliminary main dimensions from literature survey
and design the hull form using B.S.R.A results. This project includes hydrostatic calculations,
tonnage measurements, free board and powering calculations. General arrangement, propeller
design and scantling calculations were also done.

M.Tech. Projects:

a) Sea Keeping Prediction of a Ship in Irregular Seaway and its System Identification:
In this project hydrostatic calculations were calculated using PC-SHCP software. Hydrodynamic
coefficients, motions, added resistance of a ship were taken from Naval Science Technological
Laboratory(NSTL).

A code was developed using System Identification technique with R-MISO method in MATLAB
to determine the hydrodynamic coefficients for the same ship. The input for this code is
simulated time series of motions and wave forces (NSTL).The results (Hydrodynamic
coefficients) obtained from the code were compared with those Hydrodynamic coefficients
obtained from software.

So, from the model experiments (Towing Tank) we can get time series of motion and wave
forces , by using System Identification Technique HydroDynamic coefficients can find out. This
method will replace the practical experiments carried out with the LHPMM and VPMM which
leads the costly experiments.

By knowing the hydrodynamic coefficients we can estimate the 6 D.O.F and manevouring
characteristics of the marine floating bodies

b) Design Project: Design of High Speed planing craft for the desired speed of 35 Knots.
Lines plan has developed from the parent ship analysis. Hydro static, free board and powering
calculations have been done. Prototype was made and experiments were done at IIT Madras
Towing tank and satisfactory results were obtained and the design has been sold out to the client.
