Experimental and numerical investigation on self-propulsion performance of polar merchant ship in brash ice channel
Xie, Chang; Zhou, Li; Ding, Shifeng; Liu, Renwei; Zheng, Sijie
Ocean Engineering 2023 DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2022.113424
Highlights
•We present a CFD and DEM coupling method to evaluate self-propulsion performance of polar merchant ship in brash ice channel.
•We simulate the self-propulsion performance using towed propulsion method consistent with the ice tank test.
•The simulation results are validated with experimental results, and the difference is within 8.5%.
•The method could well reproduce ship-ice interaction and propeller-ice interaction.
High-traversability and efficient path optimization for deep-sea mining vehicles considering complex seabed environmental factors
Changyu Lu, Jianmin Yang, Bernt J. Leira, Roger Skjetne, et al.
Ocean Engineering 2024 DOI: 10.1016/j.oceaneng.2024.119500
Highlights
•This paper proposes an HTEPO for DSMV path planning addressing the issues of traversal risk and inefficiency.
•Developed DSMV traversability assessment model considering complex environmental factors.
•Introduced novel mapping model combining Voronoi diagrams with traversability fusion.
•Presented EA∗ algorithm with adaptive heuristic weights and traversability index.
•Validated HTEPO through simulations, outperforming other algorithm in path traversability and computational efficiency.
