About us
At Damen, much effort is put in designing silent and comfortable ships. Therefore sound level predictions are made to judge the feasibility of each design. This of course asks for accurate prediction methods.
Aspects covered in these prediction methods are:
Within the RD&I department, the research team Sound & Vibrations is dedicated to the development of these tools. One of the team members of this team will act as daily supervisor.
The assignment
Underwater radiated sound of ships is becoming an important topic nowadays as it is seen as potentially harmful for life in the ocean. One of the sources for the low frequency part of the underwater sound level of the ship is its propeller. A rotating ship propeller generates pressure fluctuations radiating into the water. Structures near the propeller, such as ducts or the ship hull above the propeller, affect these pressure fields as they act as acoustic shield or reflective surface. This assignment consists of developing a method to incorporate these effects into the currently existing prediction models and validate the results.
Use can be made of the following tools:
