An investigation of coupling ship/rotor flowfield using steady and unsteady rotor methods by Yongjie Shi, Yi Xu, Kun Zong, Guohua Xu

“…It is shown that the rotor-shipboard vortex interaction and recirculation zone are more serious for small-sized-deck destroyers, while on the straight-through-deck ship the helicopter operations are sensitive to asymmetric distribution of lateral velocity caused by the island. …”

Linear Longitudinal Strength Analysis of a Multipurpose Cargo Ship under Combined Bending and Torsional Load by Joynal Abedin, Francis Franklin, S. M. Ikhtiar Mahmud

“…Furthermore, it scrutinised the impact of torsion on both open-deck and closed-deck ships. Hull girder normal stresses at midship due to still water and the vertical wave bending moment are shown to contribute to almost 70% of total stress in an inclined condition; stresses resulting from the horizontal wave bending moment contribute nearly 10%, while warping stresses contribute approximately 20% in open-deck ships. …”
