Introduction
Accurate prediction of roll motions for heavy-lift barges and ships, launchbarges, deck barges and the like are essential to assure the safety of thevessel and cargo in transit.
Accurate prediction of roll motions for heavy-lift ships and barges isnecessary for designing sea fastenings and leg stresses on jackups.
Existing commercially-available ship motions programs are generally knownto over-predict roll motion of loaded barge hullforms due to under-predictionof roll damping.
In addition existing motions programs do not appear to have been validatedfor loaded barge hullforms with their high VCGs and large radii of gyration inroll.
Ship model motions test data is almost always proprietary, so very little datais generally available.

Introduction
Purposes of Investigation:
To illustrate the unique relationships between bargeroll motions and barge design/loading parameters.
To present model test data on barge roll motions foruse by Naval Architects in developing and validating
in-house motions programs.

Summary
Roll RAO model test data for barge hullforms waspresented for a wide range of hull/loading parameters:
L/B
B/d Tn
KG (VCG/d),
Roll Radius of Gyration (Kxx/B),
Bottom Rake Angle,
Draft (B/d)
Roll RAO model test data was compared to predictionsfrom a ship motions program based on Strip Theory.

Results
Generally, the computer RAO predictions agreed surprisingly well withthe reanalyzed model test data, even for very low L/B values.
The computed values generally underpredicted the roll dampingconsiderably.
However, if the RAOs are used to compute roll angles in randomwaves using spectral representation, the computer predictions cantypically be twice the value obtained from the model test data.
The computer program used in the study uses Tanakas (1960) eddy-making roll damping, which is well known to underpredict viscous rolldamping, thus overpredicting roll motion.
Accurate means to predict roll damping for these barge-type hullformsdo not exist at present.

from NDA Data
1. RAO Model test data shows that roll
damping increases with waveheigt- RAO peak decreases with waveheight
- Roll angle peaks vs. waveheight tend
to level off as waveheight increases2. These are all nonlinear effects
3. Nonlinear effects can be treated using
frequency-domain spectral analysis by usingleast squares approach and appropriate
amplitude-dependent RAO.

Recommendations
Further Work: (Possibly form a JIP) Purpose: Reduce risks for ocean transport of platforms, other
large cargo on barges and barge-like transport ships Conduct new model test programs for typical modern barge /
semi-submersible heavy lift ship designs
Perform model tests in regular waves, random waves
Examine effects of bilge radius, bilge keels on roll motion, esp.nonlinear damping
Examine effects of quartering seas as well as beam seas
Acquire full-scale trials data for validation of model test data
Validate/evaluate current ship motions programs
