Research Abstract

In recent years, super high speed large container ships are planned. In those ships, the transverse stability is considered to be weak, so that will disturb the performance of those ships. For this reason, the improvement of transverse stability is important for high speed displacement-type ship. In the same time list or heel by maneuver cannot be ignored, so this problem must be treated relating maneuvering characteristics simultaneously.
In this research, we proposed three anti-rolling systems and confirmed their feasibility by carried out numerical and physical simulations. One is downward vertical center fin, second is vertical upward air fin and the third is gyradius controlling system. For improvement of maneuverability simultaneously, we treated equation of motion with four degrees of freedom, namely surge, sway, yaw and roll.
In gyradius control system, small weight is controlled vertically, changing the transverse moment of inertia of the ship. Of course, this system changes the vertical position of the center of gravity of the ship , so the parametric oscillation must be avoided. As conclusion, those three systems were proved to be efficient system for improving rolling characteristics in waves.
