Abstract

Accurate determination of hydrodynamic derivatives, appearing in the equations of motion of a marine vehicle, is essential for the correct prediction of its manoeuvring performance. Solution of these equations leads to the simulation of the ship motions in the horizontal plane for a surface ship and thus helps in understanding its course stability, turning ability, rudder effectiveness and ship responsiveness. This paper presents the numerical simulation of the Planar Motion Mechanism test using RANS-based equation to obtain the hydrodynamic derivatives appearing in the equations of motion and to assess the manoeuvrability of a container ship using standard definitive manoeuvers. Experimental validation of the numerical test is carried out by conducting free running model tests in a manoeuvring basin. © 2019, © 2019 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
