Environmental Study of the Wavemaking Characteristics of High-Speed Ferries. The aim is to perform a study of the wave-making characteristics of high-speed ferries of the monohull, catamaran, and multihull type in order to be able to predict their environmental impact on river banks and sea shores. The significance is that a number of ferry services have been curtailed or cancelled as a result of suspected wave damage. The outcome will be a methodology for computing the wave system produced by s ....Environmental Study of the Wavemaking Characteristics of High-Speed Ferries. The aim is to perform a study of the wave-making characteristics of high-speed ferries of the monohull, catamaran, and multihull type in order to be able to predict their environmental impact on river banks and sea shores. The significance is that a number of ferry services have been curtailed or cancelled as a result of suspected wave damage. The outcome will be a methodology for computing the wave system produced by such ferries in water of any depth. The nature of the rate of decay of the wave system will be included in the analysis.Read moreRead less

ARC Training Centre for Transforming Australia's Naval Manufacturing Industry. The aim of the Training Centre is to transform the Australian naval manufacturing industry by creating a new cohort of industry-focused, high-level and broadly skilled engineers and researchers. The resulting network of engineering researchers will enable the industry to more rapidly innovate and solve key problems concerning the efficient design, construction and sustainment of naval platforms. This industrial transformation will bring significant benefits to Australia as it commences a very ambitious shipbuilding program comprising the design and manufacture of new fleets of submarines, future frigates and patrol boats. The success of these major projects is reliant on developing this cohort of researchers to solve the key research questions.Read moreRead less
