Analysis and Prediction of Single and Multiple Floating Vessel Dynamics Operating in Close Proximity

Abstract

The initial effort on this project will be to provide a methodology to provide a highly accurate prediction of effective ship roll damping in a realistic seaway (multi? directional and multi?peaked) using the reverse MISO system identification methodology. The Reverse MISO advanced system identification technique uses actual vessel motions and wave surface elevation to determine improved mathematical models. The roll damping prediction will demonstrate the capability of this method to address practical vessel operational issues and will be integrated into the EMSF system. The effective roll damping can then be provided to on?board ship motion prediction software to improve roll motion predictions. Simultaneously the further development of a multiple degree of freedom and multiple body motion prediction capability will be undertaken so that multi?vessel operational scenarios can also be analyzed.
