Marine Engineering Final Year Topic: Investigation of Hull Roughness Performance Model

This Marine Engineering final year project examines estimating propulsion-demand uncertainty from fictional roughness assumptions, using a fictional civilian vessel model, permitted teaching dataset or non-operational information-system prototype.

Why choose this project topic?

The topic addresses estimating propulsion-demand uncertainty from fictional roughness assumptions, a focused marine-engineering problem with identifiable assumptions and outputs. Comparing resistance increment, power estimate and correlation spread 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 increment, power estimate and correlation spread when estimating propulsion-demand uncertainty from fictional roughness assumptions?

Choose a documented teaching model, synthetic vessel case or permitted dataset, then agree the parameter ranges and comparison method for estimating propulsion-demand uncertainty from fictional roughness assumptions.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Define the civilian teaching system, data and assumptions required for estimating propulsion-demand uncertainty from fictional roughness assumptions.
  2. 02Use published teaching correlations, compare clean and roughened scenarios within model limits and expose speed dependence.
  3. 03Compare resistance increment, power estimate and correlation spread and document uncertainty and limits on operational interpretation.

A suggested research approach

Use published teaching correlations, compare clean and roughened scenarios within model limits and expose speed dependence. Use no live vessel controls and confirm permission for every dataset. Record units and system boundaries, check conservation or reference behaviour, then evaluate resistance increment, power estimate and correlation spread without treating a successful simulation as certification of real equipment.

What you will need

  • Published roughness correlations
  • Fictional hull parameters
  • Analysis software

Keep your project scope clear

The model does not diagnose fouling or guarantee savings from hull cleaning.
