1-km MODIS observations of ship tracks off the west coast of the U.S. are used to characterize changes in cloud visible optical depths, cloud droplet radii, cloud cover fraction, and column cloud liquid water amount as low-level marine clouds respond to particle pollution from underlying ships. This study re-examines the finding of earlier studies based on Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) observations showing that when restricted to pixels overcast by low-level, single-layered cl...

Increasing activities on high north regions bring about a demand of safety ship navigation. Under severe weather condition considerable amounts of ice may accumulate on marine structures. Ice bridge simulator is of importance in terms of training for qualified maritime personal. The new ice module to fit for additional problem for the ship icing is introduced with low reality into bridge simulator. Regarding this our aim is to develop ice model that calculate ice load on the ship structure and s...

In view of the increasingly popular climate change debate worldwide, maritime transport is under pressure to create sustainable solutions for a cleaner future.One of these solutions is using liquefied natural gas (LNG) as ship fuel. LNG has a higher hydrogen-to-carbon ratio compared with oil-based fuels, which results in lower specific CO2 emissions (kg CO2/kg fuel). Other benefits of LNG are the total elimination of SOx emissions and particulate matter, and 85-90 % reductions in NOx emissions. ...

In this research the stochastic nonlinear dynamic behaviors and probability density function of ship rolling are studied by nonlinear dynamic method and probability theory. The probability density function of rolling response is evaluated through solving the stochastic differential equations by using path integral method based on Gauss-Legendre interpolation scheme. The time-dependent probability of ship rolling restricted within the safe domain is provided and capsizing is investigated in the p...

Greco-Roman religion in the ancient Mediterranean permeated aspects of everyday life, including seafaring. Besides cargo, ships transported mariners' religious beliefs from port to port, thus disseminating religious culture. Shipboard ritual, however, remains largely inferred from Latin and Greek texts, iconography, and isolated archaeological finds. Several accounts record that tutelary statues were carried on board to deliver a ship from peril. These accounts are supported by iconographic repr...

The scope of the present Ph.D. thesis was to investigate the mechanics of collisions between icebergs and ship structures. Large reservoirs of oil and gas and new sailing routes in the Arctic area are two large motivations for the present research. Human activity in the Arctic demands well-designed naval architectures for facing different kinds of ice loads. According to modern design codes, ship and offshore structures are usually designed under the ultimate limit state (ULS) methods and checke...

The continuing losses of vessels and the ever increasing volume of cargo carried by ship marks marine traffic as a high risk activity where a single accident has the potential to incur large human, environmental and economic losses. Collision and grounding contributes a significant portion of the total number of accidents at sea and are a manifestation of the fundamental situation where by vessels are at the wrong place at the wrong time. In order to quantify the probability of these unfortunate...

A lengthening of a specialized reefer ship has been investigated in order to determine if it is economically viable or not. The ship type considered is the Crown class specialized reefer ships, where the Crown Topaz and the Crown Ruby are used as reference ships for this study. In order to determine whether a lengthening is economically viable or not, a conceptual design of the lengthened ship has been done. Costs related to the conversion and income due to the increased cargo capacity are calcu...

Approved for public release, distibution unlimited / In this thesis, the propulsion losses, which are caused by added drag due to steering of the ship, can be minimized by using an Adaptive Automatic Optimal Controller. It is shown in this thesis that an Adaptive Automatic Optimal Controller is capable of providing fuel savings in excess of 0.5% over a well tuned PID controller when operating at the design speed at random headings in sea states. A new approach was used in finding fuel savings wi...

A person falling of a ship can be difficult to locate since the wake behind the ship forms achaotic field, making it extremely difficult to predict the location of the victim even if thetime when they fell overboard is known. Survivability for humans immersed at sea is verydependent on the time spent in the water, and varies significantly with sea temperature; thismakes it imperative that the victim is retrieved rapidly. Our current research is aimed atreducing this time using several UAV's sear...

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited / An analytical model of a jet injected normally from a flat plate into a uniform crossing flow was modified to provide an improved method of predicting the interference effects arising from the complex flow fields induced by ship bow-thrusters. This model is an extension of previous work based upon a description of the jet as a series of distributed vortices. The analysis takes into account the position of the effective source of the je...

Design aids previously utilized to analyze the Soviet threat must be redesigned to assist in timely crisis response and the build-up of appropriate force levels for regional contingencies. Currently, no such model for crisis response ...

It is the desire of the navy to develop ships with the highest possible speed compatible with other requirements of weight, space, and economy. This is especially true for small boats such as torpedo boats where speed is the main defensive weapon. If the frictional resistance of a ship could be reduced by air lubrication, higher speeds could be attained with the same horsepower.

Approved for public release; distribution unlimited. / A study of the first and second-order, dynamic, ideal fluid effects on the forced, harmonic oscillations of a rigid cylinder in a free surface is presented. The solutions are obtained with a FORTRAN IV computer program based on the finite element method using isoparametric elements. First-order added mass and damping in heave for a semicircular and bulb hull form including finite depth effects are presented. Second-order solutions for...

CIVINS / The purpose of this thesis is the Investigation of range error introduced in the fall of shot by the rolling of the ship, when using Director Fire and the method of correcting for these errors for the initial shot. The conditions to be investigated which cause this error in the fall of shot are: (1) Motion of the Sighting instrument relative to a fixed plane on the ship. (2) Motion of the gun during the firing interval, and (3) Motion of the ship imparting velocities to the projectile...
