Marine Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Hull Resistance Model Comparison

This Marine Engineering final year project examines comparing resistance estimates for a fictional small civilian vessel, using a fictional civilian vessel model, permitted teaching dataset or non-operational information-system prototype.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic addresses comparing resistance estimates for a fictional small civilian vessel, a focused marine-engineering problem with identifiable assumptions and outputs. Comparing resistance estimate, power demand and model disagreement helps a student connect calculations or software behaviour to a practical vessel-system question while discussing the limits of the evidence.

How do the selected marine-system assumptions affect resistance estimate, power demand and model disagreement when comparing resistance estimates for a fictional small civilian vessel?

Choose a documented teaching model, synthetic vessel case or permitted dataset, then agree the parameter ranges and comparison method for comparing resistance estimates for a fictional small civilian vessel.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civilian teaching system, data and assumptions required for comparing resistance estimates for a fictional small civilian vessel.
  2. 02Use documented teaching hull forms, compare empirical methods and inspect speed and displacement sensitivity within stated ranges.
  3. 03Compare resistance estimate, power demand and model disagreement and document uncertainty and limits on operational interpretation.

A suggested research approach

Use documented teaching hull forms, compare empirical methods and inspect speed and displacement sensitivity within stated ranges. Use no live vessel controls and confirm permission for every dataset. Record units and system boundaries, check conservation or reference behaviour, then evaluate resistance estimate, power demand and model disagreement without treating a successful simulation as certification of real equipment.

What you will need

  • Published teaching hull data
  • Hydrodynamic calculation tools
  • Fictional speed scenarios

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not establish sea-trial performance or approve a vessel design.
