Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will be focused on the newest technologies developed for improved combustion as well as for emission mitigation, namely advanced marine combustion engine technologies based on application of alternative fuels. The main purpose of this Special Issue is to offer a wide area for publishing scientific research results concerning:

  • Research and development of piston combustion engines with application of biofuels;
  • Development of advanced marine systems determined for the reduction in engine gaseous emissions;
  • Simulation approaches to the abovementioned issues in order to investigate and to optimize engine combustion processes and operation of alternative drives;
  • Environmental aspects of marine combustion engine drives.

Guest Editor

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Marine Science and Engineering is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

The marine steam power system includes a large amount of thermal equipment; meanwhile, the marine environment is harsh and the working conditions change frequently. Operation management involves many disciplines, such as heat, machinery, control, electricity, etc. It is a complex multi-discipline physical system with typical nonlinear, multi-parameter, strong coupling characteristics. In order to realize the health management of a marine steam power system, based on digital twin technology combined with the Modelica language, modular modeling, etc., this paper conducts in-depth research on the multi-domain modeling of the marine steam power system, characteristic analysis of variable working conditions, fault simulation, etc. The analysis results show that the dynamic response trend of the model is consistent with the actual operation, the error of the main steam flow at 1800 s is the largest and is −4.9%, and the error of the main steam flow, steam turbine output power, cooling water outlet temperature and other key parameters is within ±5%. Virtual reality mapping between the digital model and the physical equipment is realized, which lays a foundation for mastering the dynamic characteristics of the marine steam power system.

The industries of shipping, shipbuilding and port operations are among those in which mechanical drives with piston machines are widely used. The wide use of piston machines is the result of many years of experience and many years of development and modernization of piston machines. Usually, they operate as mechanical drives with constant operating speeds, with the exception of drives with combustion engines, which operate in a wider range of operating speeds. The limiting condition of innovation of mechanical drives with piston machines, resulting from the nature of the piston machine operation, is the torsional oscillation. The effort to decrease an energy demand of mechanical drives requires the application of non-traditional working modes, which can be considered as a deactivation of the cylinders of piston machine or an expansion of the working speed range. One of the possibilities of eliminating these limiting factors is an application of a pneumatic tuner in mechanical drives, which, in contrast to traditional solutions, has a wide range of torsional stiffness that can be smoothly changed. During experimental measurements in the resonance area, at the operating speed of 700 rpm after torsional stiffness change, a torsional vibration value of 15 Nm decreased to 5 Nm. Full article

Large transoceanic ships use marine ancillary diesel engines for generating electricity, which, on the other hand, produce a remarkable amount of harmful emissions during the combustion process. The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) establishes standards that limit the amount of harmful emissions produced during the engine combustion cycle in maritime transport. Because of this restriction, new alternative fuels entered the market. Experiments had been performed with various testing fuels created from biodiesel and ULSD-F (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel-Fuel) in the ratios of 0%, 50%, 80%, and 100%. During the tests, the engine ran at different speeds and loads so that the mixed fuel influence on engine operation could be observed in detail and investigated. Full article
