Hydrodynamics of Ship Operability in Post Damage Condition
Abstract
Understanding the performance of a vessel post damage is very critical for planning its damage control missions. The operability in post damage condition could also be included as one of the factors in the design spiral to improve overall vessel capabilities. The proposed research addresses the hydrodynamic performance, including vessel stability, powering, seakeeping and maneuvering, under various post damage scenarios. These will include a range of angles of trim and list, both independently and as a combination. Model tests on multiple naval combatants and supply vessels will be performed to study their stability, resistance and seakeeping characteristics over a range of trim and roll angles. Collaboration with the naval academy and University of New Orleans will be explored and the research effort at Stevens Institute will involve undergraduate naval engineering students. Semi analytical models will be developed relating hydrodynamic performance to damage parameters. The research will provide resistance and seakeeping performance database for improved vessel design, post damage missions and counter measures, and for numerical model validations.
