Learning unit contents
Running a project: naval architecture assignment, principal stages of a project, the development of a project, the ship's schedule "Ship loop", definition of scales (lengths, surfaces, volumes ...). Displacement and mass estimates. General characteristics: coefficients in relation to speed and geometrical characteristics of the hull, adjusting dimensions for good seaworthiness and stability, controlling stability and balance.
Propulsive power: practical rules of dimensioning, special propellers and their uses. On-board energy: electrical overview and organisation of the distribution of energy. Protection against rust. Insulation (thermal, fire, sound).
Project coherence and final checks.
Multi-hull boat: planning catamaran, foil catamaran, SWATH, SLICE and boats with outriggers. Comparison of pros and cons: resistance, seaworthiness, performance at sea, performance during travel, manoeuvrability, positioning control, structural resistance. Recommendations for design and conception of multi-hull boats.
Explosions: the impact of explosions (shock waves) upon ship design and dimensioning, according to empirical formulae (digital simulation in course II).
Use of CAO (2D, 3D) tools and CAE in ship design. Design software for ship design: Maxsurf, Lunais, Napa, Argos. Digital simulations and calculations: CFD (Fluent, Reva), EF: SAMCEF. Simulation of underwater and above water impacts and explosions: LSDYNA and USA. Virtual reality. Virtual business project. Exchange of technical data.
Regulatory approach (classification societies): BV, ABS, Lloyd's, ... Applications complying with the sampling procedures of a classification society. International regulation: IMO, IACS, SOLAS. Classification, monitoring and inspection for maritime vessels and interiors. Environment: protection against pollution « MARPOL ». Risk analysis: hydrocarbon pollution and its impact on ship design.
