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.

Course contents
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.

Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
Other requirements for final grade
Project home work (ÖVN1).
Opportunity to complete the requirements via supplementary examination
Opportunity to raise an approved grade via renewed examination
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
