STKK DRPM ITS Passed Q1 International Journal Publication, Offers Solutions to Biofouling Problems
News
Currently, various countries face a common problem called Biofouling, including Indonesia. The movement of biofouling between countries by sea has the potential to cause biofouling to become aggressive (invasive), thereby endangering the sea and human life. STKK DRPM ITS (Marine and Earth Science and Technology Research Center, Directorate of Research and Community Service, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology) actively participates in conducting research to overcome this biofouling problem. One is through research and publication of a paper entitled “A practical empirical formula for calculating additional frictional resistance of ships due to (bio)fouling.”
Paper titled “A practical empirical formula for the calculation of ship added friction-resistance due to (bio)fouling” which successfully passed the publication of Q1 international journal, Ocean Engineering
Accurate prediction of the addition of ship friction resistance due to (bio)fouling is essential in the maritime sector considering environmental sustainability. Because of this background, this study proposes an empirical formula for the calculation of ship added friction-resistance due to (bio)fouling. This research is expected to be in line with industries that require accurate and practical predictions.
This research was conducted by Prof. Dr. Ir. I Ketut Suastika and Prof. Dr. I Ketut Aria Pria Utama, M.Sc from the STKK DRPM ITS Expert team, collaborating with Dr. Muhammad Luqman Hakim, S.T. from Diponegoro University. This paper successfully passed publication in the international journal Q1 Ocean Engineering, Volume 271.
Hopefully, this research will be able to create further solutive research for a safer maritime sector.
