Smart Maritime team at NTNU welcomes 3 new team members!
PostDoc Drazen Polic
- 34 years old, from Croatia, lives in Norway, previously PhD candidate at NTNU
- Education: MSc from Rijeka, Mechanical Engineering; and PhD from NTNU, marine machinery
- Postdoc will focus on low emission propulsion systems.
Joining the WP2 team in November 2020, Drazen will study the feasibility of wind propulsion, looking at the impact on the propeller and engine (power plant) performance.
Study goal:
- Investigate performance of various wind propulsion systems
- Assess the impact of the wind propulsion system on the propeller and engine performance
Scope
- Develop a medium-fidelity wind propulsion system model
- Adopt/Include added (sway and yaw) hydrodynamic ship resistance
- Evaluate a coupled wind and propeller propulsion system
