Thesis Title
The Cost of Roughness: Predicting the Drag Penalty of Fouled Ship Hulls
Research overview
Roughness on ship hulls is a prevalent global problem, causing up to 80% increases in resistance compared to ideal smooth surfaces. Targeting a key capability gap, this project will build practical tools for predicting performance penalty in shipping due to hull roughness. Observations made with a custom-built under water surface scanner will be combined with world-first laser-based flow measurements on the hull of an operating ship, and backed-up by complimentary lab. This research will advance fundamental understanding rough-wall bounded turbulent flows and enable more informed decisions for ship operators and regulatory organizations, leading to improved shipping efficiency.
