Content and learning outcomes

Course contents

Experimental evaluation of a roll motion, course stability, and manoeuvrability in full scale during a visit on board a ship. Hydromechanic and probabilistic modelling of water waves. Analytical and numerical analysis of ships motions, seakeeping and manoeuvring. Project where each student evaluate and improve the seakeeping and manoeuvring characteristics for a certain ship.

Intended learning outcomes

The learning objectives are that you after finishing the course should be able to

  • explain how the dimensions, geometry and mass distribution of a ship influences its seakeeping and manoeuvrability characteristics,
  • experimentally evaluate a ships roll characteristics and manoeuvrability,
  • model water waves, hydrodynamically as well as probabilistically,
  • formulate and solve linear and non-linear equations of motions for a ship in a seaway and for manoeuvres in calm water,
  • use the equations of motions to analyse a ships course stability and manoeuvrability,
  • use the equations of motions and probabilistic wave theory to evaluate a ships seakeeping characteristics and operability in a seaway,
  • present technical work in writing, in line with standard requirements on content, disposition and language.
