Tuesday 17/05/2022 Because time and developments do not stand still, it was time to give our website a new look. We think that the new website is more attractive due to a refreshing and modern look. New websites require a lot of people work. It is possible that here and there something does not work as you are used to. If you come across anything, be sure to let us know via communicatie-wl@mow.vlaanderen.be. Enjoy New website for Shallowwater.be Monday 16/05/2022 A new website for the Knowledge Centre Manoeuvring in Shallow and Confined Water has been launched. We hope our new look is as refreshing and pleasing to you as it is to us! Please do have a look at the different research topics that we are specialised in and at the different facilities at our disposal to conduct our research. We also organize events from time to time, including the international Free Running Tuesday 12/04/2022 In the period of January – February 2022, a state of the art free running system, developed in cooperation with Kapernikov, was successfully tested at Flanders Maritime Laboratory. This system operates based on Robot Operating System software, which allows to connect several position measurements (e.g. by camera or lidar), as well as steering of rudders and propellers. The KVLCC2 ship model PhD thesis “Modelling the Behaviour of a Moored Ship in Sheltered Waters” Monday 11/04/2022 On 18 February 2022, Thibaut Van Zwijnsvoorde successfully defended his PhD thesis “Modelling the Behaviour of a Moored Ship in Sheltered Waters”. The thesis discusses all parts of the mooring analysis, generating the input, performing time-domain calculations and the interpretation of the output. The mooring analysis was carried out with the software package Vlugmoor, specifically developed by Pages « First ‹ Previous 1 2 3 4 (current) 5 6 7 Next › Last » More news More news Fast to Waterinfo.be shallowwater.be Publications
