The purpose of this study is to explore the potentiality of wind propulsion on semi-submersible ships. A new type of Flettner rotor (two rotating cylinders) system installed on a semi-submersible ship is proposed. The structure and installation of two cylinders with a height of 20 m and a diameter of 14 m are introduced. The numerical simulation of the cylinder is carried out in Fluent software. The...
Wind energy is a clean and renewable source of energy. This study seeks to explore the potential for utilising wind power for merchant ships. A new type of Flettner rotor (rotating cylinder) mounted on the superstructure of a ship is proposed and numerically simulated. The construction and installation of the rotating cylinder is designed and a numerical simulation of the ship-mounted cylinder is...
