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

Summary
Earth and Ocean Informatics and Technology Network (EON-ITnet). Sustainable resource exploration and mining onshore, as well as marine planning, exploration, and defence depend on effective cross-disciplinary investigation, sharing of expertise and technologies for integration and computational analysis of multidimensional data spaces. EON-ITNET will cross-fertilise the use of artificial intelligence, advanced computing and smart information sharing for management, analysis, visualisation and me ....Earth and Ocean Informatics and Technology Network (EON-ITnet). Sustainable resource exploration and mining onshore, as well as marine planning, exploration, and defence depend on effective cross-disciplinary investigation, sharing of expertise and technologies for integration and computational analysis of multidimensional data spaces. EON-ITNET will cross-fertilise the use of artificial intelligence, advanced computing and smart information sharing for management, analysis, visualisation and metadata modelling between these traditionally separate research groups, with the outcome of improving research efficiency and lowering costs. EON-ITNET will form an alliance with the Caltech-based GeoFramework, which is advancing a novel object-oriented data analysis environment, binding community software for Earth visualisation and simulation to 4D data bases.Read moreRead less
Prediction of radiated noise from marine propellers. Underwater noise radiated from marine vessels is a significant problem for research, fishing and military vessels, and is a major source of pollution in the marine environment. The major source contributing to underwater noise is due to the propeller. This work will develop numerical models with experimental validation that can accurately predict the sources of noise generated by marine propellers and acoustic signatures of marine vessels due ....Prediction of radiated noise from marine propellers. Underwater noise radiated from marine vessels is a significant problem for research, fishing and military vessels, and is a major source of pollution in the marine environment. The major source contributing to underwater noise is due to the propeller. This work will develop numerical models with experimental validation that can accurately predict the sources of noise generated by marine propellers and acoustic signatures of marine vessels due to propeller motion. This work has great significance for Australia’s construction and military maritime industries. The technologies developed in this project are also applicable to rotors in other industries such as in aircraft, helicopters and wind turbines.Read moreRead less
