THE USE OF BENCH TEST RESULTS FOR CALCULATING ROLL RESPONSE OF THE TANK STABILIZED SHIP

A method is presented whereby the results of bench tests of the passive tank may be used to calculate the stabilised ship roll response to beam seas. It is shown that slightly modified equations for the roll motion of a ship equipped with a U-tube roll stabiliser, represent the behaviour of a ship fitted with any type of stabiliser tank. The equations contain three unknown tank parameters which can be determined from the results of bench tests. The approach is believed to be simple and sufficiently accurate for the prediction of stabilised ship motion during the design stage for most tanks.
