On the 9th Annual PhD Workshop of the doctoral study Mechanical Engineering, Naval Architecture, Aeronautical Engineering, Metallurgical Engineering held on September 22nd 2023 at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, PhD student on CSF research project STARSHIP Carlo Giorgio Grlj, mag. ing. aeroing. gave a presentation entitled “Numerical assessment of ship hydrodynamic characteristics in off-design conditions”.
From August 28, 2023 to September 1, 2023, a research workshop was held as part of the Croatian Science Foundation’s project “Sustainable slow steaming for low-carbon shipping, STARSHIP” in the Netherlands.
As part of the workshop, a visit to the TU Delft University in Delft and the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands, MARIN in Wageningen was organized. Both institutions are highly respected in the field of shipbuilding, especially in the field of ship hydrodynamics and offshore structures.
At TU Delft, the research group had the opportunity to see their two towing tanks, a cavitation tunnel and a smaller open channel towing tank for low-speed water flow.
At the MARIN Institute, the research group visited almost all laboratories, which include deep water and shallow water towing tanks, a concept, offshore and the seakeeping and manoeuvring basins, cavitation tunnel and a laboratory for testing ship propulsion systems (Zero emission lab).
Within the research workshop, the project of the Croatian Science Foundation, “Sustainable slow steaming for low-carbon shipping, STARSHIP”, was presented.
Members of the research group exchanged experiences with the respected scientists from the field of ship hydrodynamics related to conducting experimental and numerical investigations.
On July, 19th 2023 the student Frano Badrov has successfully defended his master’s thesis under the title An investigation into the scale effect on the total resistance of a container ship in shallow water, as a part of the project STARSHIP.
Members of the project team participated in the 10th International Conference on Computational Methods in Marine Engineering, MARINE 2023, held from June 27 to 29, 2023 in Madrid, Spain, with two scientific papers entitled:
Kornelija Borčić, univ. bacc. ing. nav. arch., a graduate student of the naval architecture at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture is the winner of the Rector’s award for the academic year 2022/2023 for the paper entitled “Numerical investigation of the influence of shallow water on the total resistance of the solar catamaran” written as part of the Croatian Science Foundation research project IP-2020-02-8568, “Sustainable slow-speed navigation for low-carbon shipping”.
