Book STUDIES OF SHIP MANEUVERING  RESPONSE TO PROPELLER AND RUDDER ACTIONS

Download or read book STUDIES OF SHIP MANEUVERING RESPONSE TO PROPELLER AND RUDDER ACTIONS written by and published by . This book was released on 1965 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An attempt is made to extend ship-maneuvering analysis for application at low ship speeds. Captive-model experiments are made to investigate effects of non-equilibrium propeller speeds on rudder force and effective thrust. Other experiments are made to explore first-order effects of very large drift angles and pure yaw rotation on hull hydrodynamic reactions. The experimental results, together with previous rotating-arm data, are applied in motion equations, accounting for both extreme propeller actions and the occurrence of large drift angles and turning rates. Also included are propulsion and rudder time lags, and the influence of uniform water current on ship trajectory. The equations are programmed for computation, and ship response to a simple docking maneuver is predicted. The computation is repeated several times to examine sensitivity of ship motions and trajectory to variations of operating parameters, namely, maximum reverse propeller speed, engine response time, and water-current direction.

Book Ship Maneuvering  Including the Effects of Transient Motions

Download or read book Ship Maneuvering Including the Effects of Transient Motions written by Carl Alden Scragg and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the traditional approach to the problems of ship maneuvering, on uses a set of linearized equations of motion that excludes the possibility that the hydrodynamic forces and moments might be affected by the history of the motion. Using ideas introduced by Cummins, one can obtain another linearized set of the equations of motion which contains a 'memory function' as well as the added mass and damping coefficients. These stability coefficients have been evaluated by an impulse-response techniques, a method that is new to ship maneuvering problems and that appears to represent a substantial improvement over the traditional regular-oscillatory-motion tests. Results from both experimental methods are presented for comparison. To examine the effect of the memory function upon predictions of standard ship maneuvers, predictions of a few standard maneuvers have been calculated using both sets of the linearized equations of motion. The differences between the predicted motions were found to be small for all the cases we examined. (Author).

Book Mathematical Modeling of Inland Vessel Maneuverability Considering Rudder Hydrodynamics

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.

Book Modelling and Control of Dynamic Systems Using Gaussian Process Models

Download or read book Modelling and Control of Dynamic Systems Using Gaussian Process Models written by Juš Kocijan and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-21 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph opens up new horizons for engineers and researchers in academia and in industry dealing with or interested in new developments in the field of system identification and control. It emphasizes guidelines for working solutions and practical advice for their implementation rather than the theoretical background of Gaussian process (GP) models. The book demonstrates the potential of this recent development in probabilistic machine-learning methods and gives the reader an intuitive understanding of the topic. The current state of the art is treated along with possible future directions for research. Systems control design relies on mathematical models and these may be developed from measurement data. This process of system identification, when based on GP models, can play an integral part of control design in data-based control and its description as such is an essential aspect of the text. The background of GP regression is introduced first with system identification and incorporation of prior knowledge then leading into full-blown control. The book is illustrated by extensive use of examples, line drawings, and graphical presentation of computer-simulation results and plant measurements. The research results presented are applied in real-life case studies drawn from successful applications including: a gas–liquid separator control; urban-traffic signal modelling and reconstruction; and prediction of atmospheric ozone concentration. A MATLAB® toolbox, for identification and simulation of dynamic GP models is provided for download.
