NAS Ltd, VENTuRE’s industrial partner opens a new branch in the French Riviera, Antibes, and hosted and attended various meetings and exhibition showcasing the VENTuRE project.
Check out our latest VENTuRE journal publication. ABSTRACT: There has been an increasing attention to the effect of hull roughness on ship resistance and powering. In conventional studies, the hull surfaces have been treated as uniform rough surfaces while the real ships’ hulls are exposed heterogeneous fouling accumulation. The work described here presents an experimental investigation into the effect…
