Bayesian optimization and Cartesian-grid simulations for artificial reef design
… combination with Cartesian-grid simulations and towing tank experiments. To ensure the structure’s strength, ease of implementation, and biocompatibility, the reef structures were designed to be porous. Finally, the complete artificial reef was constructed and tested in a towing tank with waves …

Modifiable Stability and Maneuverability of High Speed Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) Through Bioinspired Control Fins
… stability parameters, nonlinear simulation, and towing tank experiments. Depending on the added fin location, the vehicle stability changed, thereby affecting the maneuverability. As fins were placed forward on the vehicle, maneuverability increased, with effects tapering off at 0.2 BL ahead of …

Modifiable stability and maneuverability of high speed unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) through bioinspired control fins
… stability parameters, nonlinear simulation, and towing tank experiments. Depending on the added fin location, the stability of the vehicle changed, thereby affecting the maneuverability. As fins were placed further forward on the vehicle, maneuverability increased, with effects tapering off at …

Design of a Trailer Capable, Open Ocean Sailing Yacht
… to measure upright resistance of the yacht in towing tank experiments, for comparison to resistance predictions generated from the Delft Systematic Yacht Hull Series.

Slamming of High Speed Craft: A Parametric Study of Severe Cases
… surface vessels. The controlled motion experiments presented in this thesis were designed to be an intermediate step between vertical water entry tests of a wedge and a traditional tow tank experiment of a planning hullform in waves. This allowed a deeper study of the hydrodynamic loads …

The development of time-dependent biofouling model for ships
… technology and attached on the flat plates for towing tank experiments at Kelvin Hydrodynamics Laboratory in the University of Strathclyde. Eighteen different configurations varying in terms of size, coverage area and settlement pattern were tested. Drag characterisations, determination of …

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wing–Vortex Gust Encounters
… transient gust load alleviation. Three sets of experiments are conducted in a water towing-tank facility. Force balance and planar particle image velocimetry data is acquired. The production of starting vortices by a linearly pitching NACA0021 wing is first investigated to refine a method for …
