Project name:
Low-frequency sound radiation of machine noises into the water Tieffrequente Schallabstrahlung von Maschinengeräuschen ins Wasser
Project partners:
DW-ShipConsult GmbH, Nobiskrug GmbH, MAN Energy Solutions SE, MV Werften Wismar GmbH, TU Hamburg
Project members:
Gyde Andresen-Paulsen, Franz von Bock und Polach, Sören Ehlers
Funding Party:
Federal Ministry for economic affairs and energy
Duration:
01.07.2018 – 30.06.2021
Project Outline:
The aim of the project is to investigate the fundamental law of low-frequency sound-excitation, -propagation and -radiation from the ship hull into the water and implementing these in a prognosis model. The model should provide relevant information in an early design stage of the ship to reduce time-consuming changes and adaptions in later project phases. The gained knowledge allows noise reduced operations and a higher acoustic quality can be guaranteed. Prospectively followed requirements concerning radiated underwater sound can be met more easily as well.
