EXPERIENCE WITH SHIP MOTION CALCULATIONS, PROCEDURES, EXPERIMENTS, AND CORRELATION (ALL VEHICLE TYPES)

This paper provides an overview of calculation procedures currently available at the David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) for the evaluation of the ship motions of several advanced type vehicles including the Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull (SWATH) ship, the Surface Effect Ship (SES), the planing boat and a hybrid hydrofoil. It also includes a description of the methods employed to incorporate the effects of control devices on ship motions stabilisation where applicable. Correlation of computed ship motions with model experiments and full scale are presented along with some insights into what are considered key factors in the achieving reliable computational procedures and applications.
