Energy Saving Techniques for Energy Efficient Vessels and Emission Reduction toward Green Shipping
The main objective of the ESTHETICS Project is to design highly energy-efficient ships and make them industry-compatible. There are various techniques and methods to increase energy efficiency. Technical approaches within the project include minimizing wave and...
Supercavitation Testing Project
Supercavitation Testing Project involves the initial examination of cavitation parameters such as forces, moments, cavitation envelope length, diameter, and noise characteristics for cavitators with different geometries at low cavitation numbers. Subsequently, these...
GATERS Project (GATE RUDDER System as a Retrofit for the Next Generation Propulsion and Steering of Ships)
The aim of the GATERS project is to design a new steering system (Gate Rudder), reduce the fuel consumption and emissions (CO 2 , NOX , SOX ) of ships and make ships energy efficient. In addition, the resulting design was produced and installed on designated ships to...
TF2000 Project (Turkish Type Frigate Design Project)
It was aimed to obtain the open water performance of the propeller with the cavitation tunnel tests of the Turkish Type Frigate developed in the TF2000 Project, to measure the speed at which the designed propeller cavitated with the cavitation tests behind the ship...
