Information about the manoeuvring ability of such ships is required for ship design, for voyage planning, and for personnel training. With numerical simulation the eventual goal, physical model tests are an essential step in determining ship manoeuvring equations and parameters.\u0000 Simulation of ship manoeuvers in ice must take into account dynamics which are qualitatively different from those which control motions in open water. The constraining ice forces may be an order of magnitude larger than the corresponding hydrodynamic forces, and in fact are usually the limiting factors for ship operations in ice.\u0000 The usual Fourier methods used to determine hydrodynamic coefficients from open water PMM tests are not appropriate for ice manoeuvering analysis, for several reasons. The form of the manoeuvering equations in ice is different from that in open water. Runs in the ice tank are restricted in length, and the number of runs is restricted by the time and cost to produce an ice sheet. This paper outlines a new methodology for manouvering testing and analysis which takes into account both the complexity of the ship-ice interaction and also the requirement to obtain information in a cost-effective manner.","PeriodicalId":134628,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Sun, October 25, 1998","volume":"29 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127696157","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A defocusing optical setup was implemented to generate images with imbedded information on the three-dimensional spatial position of bubbles. A novel approach was used to overcome the overcrowding of bubble images within a single camera, which had previously inhibited the practical application of this technique. A camera system based on the optical and spatial requirements was fabricated and tested. Special software was developed to map the three-dimensional position and to estimate bubble sizes and bubble number density within each captured image. The velocity fields are calculated from volumetric image correlation between each pair of consecutive images.

This technique has demonstrated a unique capability of describing critical features of the transient flow induced by a berthing ship. Validating experiments were conducted in a shallow water basin. A model barge was drawn transversely through calm water by a towing carriage toward a solid, vertical quay wall in a manner similar to a regular berthing process. The transier.t water flow induced by the moving barge was recorded with acoustic doppler velocity meters mounted on the barge and at six fixed locations within the basin. Flows leading, trailing, passing under the keel and around the ends of the barge were observed. The test parameters considered included approach speed, water depth and angle of approach. The flow pattern at the free surface was observed using floating ping-pong balls, while flow pattern at the bottom of the basin were observed using neutrally buoyant beads.\u0000 A number of noteworthy findings and observations relating to flow and reversal of flow are included in the remarks section of this paper. The model basin tests produced good comparisons between measured current velocity and water currents predicted by the simulation model. The large volume of water trailing the barge was shown to contribute significantly to the resulting berthing energy, especially in those runs where water depth was small compared to ship draft.","PeriodicalId":134628,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Sun, October 25, 1998","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132796075","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Total forces and moments were obtained from instrumentation included in IMD's horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism, and local shear forces, bending moments, and torques were measured at five locations along the instrumented elastic backbone of the segmented model. For modeling the maneuvering characteristics, interest centered on deriving the distribution of lateral force from these measurements. The test program consisted of varying the model static yaw angle and roll angle ( drift and heel) for a range of forward speeds in calm water at deep departure and operational light conditions. In most experiments the model was free to pitch and heave; however, the model was fixed in pitch and heave in a subset of the tests for comparison.\u0000 This paper gives a general description of the model design, instrumentation, backbone calibration procedure, data collected and analysis procedure. Representative results illustrating the distribution of lateral force for a number of test conditions are provided along with some observations on their potential for modeling the maneuvering behavior of long slender vessels.","PeriodicalId":134628,"journal":{"name":"Day 2 Sun, October 25, 1998","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127457262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
