The hydroelastic behavior of propellers has been a recurring topic in ship propulsion; seen at time as a possible cause for failures of propulsive systems and some other times as an opportunity for improving the performances of propellers as a noise and vibration sources, it often suffered from a...

This paper deals with dynamic modelling and numerical simulations of a Surface Effect Ship (SES) with split cushion. Traditionally, a SES is a catamaran with front and aft seals equipped with lift fans that could fill an air cushion with pressurized air to lift up to 90 % weight of the vehicle. A...

Results of the fluid-structure co-simulations that were carried out as part of the FleksProp project are presented. The FleksProp project aims to establish better design procedures that take into account the hydroelastic behavior of marine propellers and thrusters. Part of the project is...

Many marine species ingest microplastic (MP), exhibiting extended periods of MP gut retention in some cases. Organic pollutants associated with MP may present an alternative exposure route for these chemicals to marine species. However, the effect of PAH sorption to MP on PAH bioavailability remains...
