wind assisted ship propulsion: modern developments in sailing ships
|
Wind-assisted ship propulsion (WASP), is the modern version of sailing commercial freight. This green technology may be central to the energy transition for the maritime sector.
2022 at EZS, the knowledgebase and experience with sailing vessels is extended with a technical introduction to modern WASP-systems. The course will begin with a view on the history and future of different technologies. After this the focus will go to fluid mechanics and mathematics, followed by a survey of presently available wind-assist devices (Kites, Cousteau Sails, Flettner rotors, segmented wings, soft sails, etc). Practical considerations for wind assist design and operation are treated foremost. Upon course completion, students will be familiar with the physical mechanisms behind the new generation of sails. Students will be introduced to significant interaction effects between WASP-systems, the main propulsion engine, course keeping and routing, and finally commercial operation. The following components are part of the module: - Performance Prediction - Routing - History and modern developments - Aero- and hydro dynamics - Policy and regulations - Ship building and Ships stability of WASP vessels Teachers and instructors: Nico van der Kolk (Blue WASP) Thomas van Es (Dijkstra Naval Architects) Mark Miller (Dijkstra Naval Architects) Marijke de Jong (Cadhead) Rogier Eggers (MARIN) Frank Berrens (Berrensmaritime) The course will conclude with a guest lecture and a panel discussion |
