Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mathematical model and corresponding digital computer simulation has been developed and applied in this preliminary study of the equilibrium conditions, stability, and trajectory of a single ship moving on and off the centerline in a one-way traffic canal whose width is five times the beam of the ship. It is found that the ship is unstable without rudder control. Using a simple idealized proportional rudder control demonstrated. For a given ship, an acceptable canal width is strongly dependent upon the characteristics of the control system.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The large first cost and subsequent operation and maintenance costs of sea-level canals demand that all economic and technical alternatives be thoroughly investigated before construction is begun. The vast number of variables to be considered for any given set of alternative canals requires study in an orderly and meaningful manner. An analytical model in the form of a digital computer program to predict ship transit calculates ship movements by evaluating, at small, equal time increments, the many changing factors which affect their movement. In addition to inserting ships into the canal in some prescribed order, the program keeps track of each ship (its type, location, speed, and direction) in the canal and adjusts its speed at each time increment so that each ship operates safely under a predetermined set of conditions. The program is designed to predict the number of ship transits per unit time by considering the canal configuration, flow conditions in the canal, and the shipping which is expected to use the canal. The program can be used to optimize canal configuration for any given expected shipping, to optimize the manner of ship input for a given canal configuration, and to develop operation procedures for any canal configuration with any ship mix.

Download or read book A Mathematical Model to Predict the Behavior of Deep draft Vessels in Restricted Waterways written by Edward Thomas Gates and published by . This book was released on 1977 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, deep draft navigation channel analysis, design and review is based on empirically derived ratios of the design vessel's dimensions. Because of the radical changes in vessel operational purposes and characteristics, these ratios can no longer be safely or economically applied. The mathematical model and related theory described in this document provides the engineer with a comprehensive tool in the design and review of deep draft navigation channels. Through its use, he will be able to predict values of squat, bank suction forces and moments, equilibrium drift and rudder angles and heights of ship-generated waves for varied channel configurations, ship positions and ship velocities. Through the determination of channel section configuration sensitivity, an operationally and economically optimal design can be achieved.

Download or read book Mathematical Modeling of Inland Vessel Maneuverability Considering Rudder Hydrodynamics written by Jialun Liu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-05-11 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates that different rudder configurations have different hydrodynamic characteristics, which are influenced by the profile, the parameters, and the specific configuration. The author proposes new regression formulas to help naval architects quickly estimate the rudder-induced forces and moments in maneuvering. Furthermore, the author proposes and validates an integrated maneuvering model for both seagoing ships and inland vessels. Using the proposed regression formulas and maneuvering model, the specific impacts of rudder configurations on inland vessel maneuverability are studied. In turn, the book demonstrates the application of Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) simulations to obtain rudder hydrodynamic characteristics, and the integration of the RANS results into maneuvering models as an accurate estimation of rudder forces and moments needed to quantify the impacts of rudder configurations on ships’ maneuvering performance. In addition, the author proposes new criteria for the prediction and evaluation of inland vessel maneuverability. Simulations of ships with various rudder configurations are presented, in order to analyze the impacts of rudder configurations on ship maneuverability in different classic and proposed test maneuvers. Offering essential guidance on the effects of rudders for inland vessel maneuverability, and helping practical engineers make informed design choices, the book is of interest to researchers and academics in the field of naval engineering, as well as students of naval architecture. Industrial practitioners working on ship design may also find it beneficial.
