Engineering and Economic Feasibility Study of Roll Stabilization and Heel Inducing Systems for New Coast Guard Polar Icebreakers. Volume I.
Abstract
This report summarizes studies of various roll stabilization and heeling systems for a new polar icebreaker design. Though the functions to these two systems are distinct they may be studied as one larger system because there exist many technical similarities and some possible opportunities for physical combination. Selection of criteria for both subsystems is discussed herein and a number of preliminary system designs are developed and evaluated. A final comparison of all designs is made and the advantages and disadvantages discussed. It is concluded that for the present icebreaker application, systems involving stabilizer and heeling system concepts which differ in principle from recent practice in this country have no compelling advantages.
