DYNAMIC BEHAVIOR OF TANKERS DURING TWO-WAY TRAFFIC IN CHANNELS

A nonlinear digital simulation model was formulated to examine the dynamic behavior of large full-form tankers during meeting and passing in restricted channels. Computer-printed trajectories obtained in a series of digital simulations indicated basic patterns of ship behavior. Performance of various control systems was evaluated in terms of deviations in ship trajectory and rudder angle. Comparisons with previous measurements obtained in full- and model-scale tests verify realistic modeling of the system.
