CSP - International Ship Stability Workshop 2016 ISSW2016
Abstract
a. Technical: The 15th International Ship Stability Workshop belongs to a long standing series of international technical meetings in the field of stability of ships and ocean vehicles. This series consists of the STAB Conferences, which are held every three years (since 1975), and the International Ship Stability Workshops (ISSW), which are held in the years in between the conferences. While the STAB Conferences cover a wide range of issues related to stability of ships and ocean vehicles, the workshops are typically more focused on particular subjects that are especially important and are indicative of recent developments in the field. Recent interests are related to the development of new regulations, the appearance of new types of ships and predicting their behavior, current research challenges, stability accidents, and others. The format of the workshop entails in-depth discussions in an informal manner, resulting in an ideal environment for participants who are interested in current developments and provides an opportunity to ask questions on ship stability related topics. b. Relevance: With novel ship hull form design such as DDG-1000, ship dynamic stability in wave has been a crucial topic for the US Navy for safe operation in severe ocean conditions. The naval architecture design and research community has been tasked to contribute to the effort to improve the understandings and knowledge of ocean and ship interactions especially the ship dynamic stability, thus providing the navy shipyards with effective and validated design tools. The participants of the workshop are mostly researchers in naval architecture. Some of them are funded by ONR. The topics cover by the workshop meets some of the concerns that the ONR defines in its Naval Science and Technology Strategic Plan. In particular the objective ~Reliable, Efficient, Long-Range, High-Speed Platforms with Optimized Payload Capabilities~ for which ~Efficient ship design analysis tools~ need to be developed has been clearly outlined. Another great challenge of the workshop is its contribution to on-going work of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) which is in the process of approving new rules in the field of ship stability.c. Coordination: Coordinated with Dr. Thomas Fu (ONR Code 331), and Dr. Vadim Belenky (NSWCCD) d. Desired Outcome: (1) meaningful information exchange and discussion of research ideas and status during the conference, and (2) collection of papers and presentation materials of the conference
