This paper represents the results of interpretation on the cause of sign changing of the striation slopes appearing in the range-frequency domain spectrogram of ship-radiated noise measured in a shallow sea. Striation patterns and dispersion characteristics simulated from a numerical model based on mode theory at various seabed conditions show that the sign changing of the striation slopes appearing in measured signal is caused by the shear property of seabed. more specifically by the shear property of the basement lying below the sediment which is estimated about 3±1m thick.

The viscous flow around a ship hull is calculated by the use of RANS(Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) solver. Reynolds stresses are midelled by using the k-${epsilon}$ turbulence model and the law is applied near the body. Body fitted corrdinates are introduced for the treatment of the complex boundary of the ship hull form and the governing equations in the physical domain transformed into ones in the computational domain. The transformed equations are numerically solved by an employment of FVM(Finite Volume Method). SIMPLE(Semi-Implicit Pressure Linked Equation) method is adopted in the calculation of pressure and the solution of the sidcretized equation is obtained by the line-by-line method with the use of TDMA(Tri-Diagonal Matrix Algorithme). To assure the proprietty of this computing method, HSVA tanker and Dyne hull are calculated ar both model and ship scale Reynolds number. Their reaults of pressure distributions on fore and aft body, axial velocity contours and transverse velocity velocity vectors and viscous resistance coefficients are compared with other's experiments and calculations.

This paper intends to develop a Prototype Expert Collision Avoidance System by introducing expert system techniques into the decision block of anti-collision loop. The problem domain of this study is characterized and specified by combining the concepts of anti-collision loop and knowledge -based system for collision avoidance. Domain in knowledge which may originates from the appropriate sources such as the International Regulations for Preventing Collision at Sea 1972, Marine Traffic Laws, and many texts on the subject of anticollision navigation and good seamanship is acquired and formalized into the knowledge-base system using production rule. Finally, a Prototype Expert Collision Avoidance System is built by using the CLIPS, developed by AIS NASA written in and fully integrated with the C language, and some test-and-run results of the system are demonstrated and examined. The author considers the proposed system which is named PECAS to be meaningful as a test bed for a further refined Expert Collision Avoidance System on board the Automated Ship.

In the maritime industry, the convergence of information and communication technology (ICT) occurs in two areas. The first one is the convergence of e-navigation technology to apply ICT to the maritime domain. This was led by EU's initiative and is also being promoted in our country. The other one is the convergence of autonomous ship technology to apply various ICT technologies for commercial purposes. This initiative is being led by maritime industries. In this paper, we describe trends of e-navigation and maritime autonomous surface ship technology convergence. Subsequently, we explain the standardization status of performance and technical standard bodies, international standardization organizations, and related standard-developing organizations to provide the interoperability of these technologies. Finally, we examine ongoing projects in Korea and suggest future directions for their R&D and standardization.

The free surface flow problem has been one of the most interesting and challenging topic in the area of the naval ship hydrodynamics and ocean engineering field. The problem has been treated mainly in the scope of the potential theory and its governing equation is well known Laplace equation. But in general, the exact solution to the problem is very difficult to obtain because of the nonlinearlity of the free surface boundary condition. Thus the linearized free surface problem has been treated often in the past. But as the computational power increases, there is a growing trend to solve the fully nonlinear free surface problem numerically. In the present study, a time-dependent finite element method is developed to solve the problem. The initial-boundary problem is formulated and replaced by an equivalent variational formulation. Specifically, the computations are made for a highly nonlinear flow phenomena behind a transom stern ship and a vertical strut piercing the free surface.

Artificial Intelligence(AI) is that branch of computer science that deals with designing computer system that exhibit some of the characteristics associated with intelligence on human behaviors such as, understanding natural language, reasoning, solving problems, robotics and so on. The most developed component of artificial intelligence today is probably the expert system. An expert system is defined as a computer program that embodies organized knowledge concerning some specific domain of human expertise and programmed to perform convincingly as an advisory consultant in the given domain with self-explanation of reasoning on demand. This paper describes general concept of artificial intelligence and expert system and investigates applicability of expert system to ship design.

This paper considers the Marine Traffic Risk Assessment for fixed and moving targets, which threaten officers during a voyage. The Collision Risk Assessment Formula was calculated based on a dynamic ship domain considering the length, speed and maneuvering capability of a vessel. In particular, the Navigation Risk Assessment Model that is used to quantitatively index the effect of a ship's size, speed, etc. has been reviewed and improved using a hybrid combination of a vessel's dynamic area and the Collision Risk Assessment Formula. Accordingly, a new type of Marine Traffic Risk Assessment Model has been suggested giving consideration to the Speed Length Ratio, which was not sufficiently reflected in the existing Risk Assessment Model. The larger the Speed Length Ratio (dimensionless speed), the higher the CJ value. That is, the CJ value is presented well by the Speed Length Ratio. When the Speed Length Ratio is large, states ranging from [Caution], [Warning], [Dangerous] or [Very Dangerous] are presented from a greater distance than when the Speed Length Ratio is small. The results of this study, can be used for route and port development, including dangerous route avoidance, optimum route planning, breakwater width, bridge span, etc. as well as the development of costal navigation safety charts. This research is also applicable for the selection of optimum ship routing and the prevention of collisions for smart ships such as autonomous vessels.

Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes simulations have been performed to investigate an effect of numerical region with high resolution for Kelvin wave around KRISO container ship on its resistance. In the present study, 13 millions cells were used to describe wave profile along the ship hull and Kelvin wave patterns. In order to control a size of numerical region with high resolution for waves around the hull, we employed relaxation zones from a side boundary of numerical domain in which Kelvin wave was suppressed. When the far-field Kelvin wave was not precisely resolved due to the relaxation zone, the instantaneous history of ship resistance was affected although the time average of ship resistance showed -1.15~2.1 % errors. Especially, the damping characteristics of ship resistance in time history was significant when using a large relaxation zone in the side boundary.

In this paper we investigate the motion response of a moored ship in the fluid region sheltered by inclined breakwaters. The matched asymptotic expansion technique is employed to analyze the wave fields scattered by the inclined breakwaters. Fluid domain is subdivided into the ocean, entrance and sheltered regions. Unknown coefficients contained in each region can be determined by matching at the intermediate zone between two neighboring regions. The wave field generated by the ship motion can be analyzed in terms of Green's function method. To obtain the velocity jump across the ship associated with the symmetric motion modes, the sheltered region is further divided into near field of the ship and the rest field. The image method is introduced to consider the effect of the pier near the ship. The integral equation for the velocity jump is derived by the flux matching between the inner region and the outer region of a moored ship. Throughout the numerical calculation it is found that the inclined angle width of entrance of breakwaters as well as the location of moored vessel play an important role in the motion response of a moored ship.

Recently moored offshore vessels like as FPSO(Floating Production Storage Offloading) are frequently deployed in seas for a long time. For successful operation, the motion behavior of such a vessel in waves must be clarified in advance either theoretically or experimentally. It is of particular interest to examine the behavior, when swells are superposed to seas with different incident angle. Such a situation is actually reported in some offshore oilfield. In this paper, the motion of a FPSO in irregular waves including swells is studied in time domain. Hydrodynamic coefficients and wave forces are calculated in frequency domain using three-dimensional singularity distribution method. Time memory function and added mass at infinite frequency are derived by Fourier transform utilizing hydrodynamic damping coefficients. In the process, the numerical accuracy of added mass at infinite frequency is carefully examined in association with free decay simulations. It is found from numerical simulations that swells significantly affect the vertical motion of FPSO mainly because of their longer period compared to the ordinary sea waves. In particular, the roll motion is largely amplified because the dominant period of swell is closer to the roll natural period than that of seas.
