Parametric rolling in regular head waves of the Kriso container ship: numerical and experimental investigation in shallow water Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium
The IMO Intact Stability Code considers the parametric rolling phenomenon as one of the stability failure modes because of the larger roll angles attained. This hazardous condition of roll resonance can lead to loss of cargo, passenger discomfort, and even (in the extreme cases) the ship’s capsize. Studies as such are mostly conducted considering wave characteristics corresponding to wave lengths around one ship length (λ ≈ LPP) and wave ...

Benchmarking of DIFFRAC, FATIMA, HYDROSTAR, MOSES, NEMOH, OCTOPUS, PDSTRIP, RAPID, SEAWAY, SLENDERFLOW and WAMIT against measured vertical motions of the Duisburg test case container ship in shallow water Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium
In this paper, we present a comparison of calculated and measured vertical motions of the Duisburg Test Case (DTC) container ship, in calm water or head waves, at rest or with forward speed. At forward speed in calm water, running sinkage and trim (squat) have been compared with the potential-flow methods implemented in SlenderFlow and RAPID software. In head seas, bow and stern vertical motions have been compared with strip theory (OCTOPUS, ...
Sailing in shallow water waves with the DTC container carrier: open model test data for validation purposes Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium
After successful conferences on bank effects, ship-ship interaction, ship behaviour in locks and ship-bottom interaction, the Fifth International Conference on Ship Manoeuvring in Shallow and Confined Water (MASHCON) has a nonexclusive focus on wind, waves and current action on manoeuvring ships. A clear understanding of the ship’s manoeuvring characteristics in waves, wind and currents is essential in both everyday operations and ship safety ...
