Steady-State and Transient Dynamical Systems Analysis of Uncoupled and Coupled Very Large Amplitude Roll Response of a Vessel in Regular and Random Waves Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • This paper contains the most recent results of our analysis of the DTMB 5415 model hull. This hull is an early stage version of the US Navys DDG-51 and approximately represents the last traditional destroyer hull form designed, built and operated by the US Navy. Moreover, the US Navy has recently proposed an alternative simulation based approach to traditional static stability analysis for advanced hull forms. Static stability analysis has been in use by the US Navy for at least 50 years. This paper proposes an alternative analysis technique which uses modern techniques of dynamical systems to analyze the large amplitude (nonlinear) roll response of a vessel in waves. The technique considers the steady state (local) roll response, the transient (global) roll response in both regular and random waves. Moreover, the effects of coupling, damping and reduced GM are all investigated.
