Why conduct seakeeping analysis?

Determine the motions of a design in conditions it is likely to encounter

• Is the vessel going to survive?

• Can the vessel carry out specified task or mission?

• Decide if motions are acceptable:Slamming, Deck Wetness, Speed Loss, Human Performance, Ride Control

• Decide which design is going to perform the best:Design selection, marketing

Ocean Wave Statistics Methods

Wave buoys: Ideal source for wave statistics

There is significant data available from wave buoys - however it costs $ to obtain due to expense of collection.

Hindcasting:Use measured wind data to estimate waves produced using modellingtechniques.

Dependent on accuracy of models.

Remote Sensing:Satellite imaging of ocean surface - again $

Visual Observations

For example Hogben & Lumb (1967) published comprehensive atlas based on 2 million visual observations from ships between 1953 and 1966.

Note: ships tend to try and avoid bad weather therefore vessels which cannot change course e.g. military craft and offshore platforms may encounter worse weather than shown by observations.

Encounter Frequency

As ships move through the water the rate at which they encounter waves is dependent on their speed and direction.

Page 25: Sea Keeping Lecture

For a head sea the encounter frequency is higher than the wave frequency.For a beam sea the encounter frequency equals the wave frequency.In a following sea the encounter frequency is initially positive, meaning that the waves overtake the vessel, passes through zero and then goes negative which means that the vessel overtakes the waves.

Using these RAOs the motions may be determined by assuming that the response function is linear with respect to wave height and that the principle of superposition holds. (The principle of superposition states that the response of a body to a spectrum of waves is the sum of the individual waves).

Thus if the linear response of the vessel is given by

then it follows that the motion response spectrum, Sz(�e), is given by:

where S�( �e) is the encountered wave energy spectrum.

Seakeeping Design Criteria

Page 33: Sea Keeping Lecture

Why use criteria?

• to decide if the vessel's performance is acceptable

• easily compare different designs

Page 34: Sea Keeping Lecture

What is important for a ferry design?

• passenger sea sickness

• speed loss due to motions

Page 35: Sea Keeping Lecture

What is important for a patrol boat design?

• deck wetness

• ability of crew to keep working despite motions

Page 40: Sea Keeping Lecture

Slamming

Page 41: Sea Keeping Lecture

Slamming

May cause:

• decelerations and local structural damage

• transient vibratory stresses (whipping) elsewhere in the hull.

Occurs when two events occur simultaneously:

• Re-entry of the ship's bow into the water after it has risen above the surface

• The relative vertical velocity between the ship's flat of bottom and the water surface exceeds a certain critical specified value.

Page 42: Sea Keeping Lecture

Deck Wetness

Page 43: Sea Keeping Lecture

Deck Wetness

This phenomenon may cause injury or drowning of personnel and damage to deck-mounted equipment.

Difficult to model accurately numerically, but some information may be gained from towing tank tests, eg. shipping of green or solid water

Occurs when:

• the bow of a ship is buried in the sea and throws solid water and spray into the air.

Page 44: Sea Keeping Lecture

Speed Loss

a decision, by the captain, to reduce speed in order to reduce motions, slams, deck wetness, propeller emergence etc. to within acceptable limits.

a vessel travelling through waves will have a greater resistance due to its motions, and the resulting change in load on the propeller usually reduces the propeller efficiency.

Propeller Emergence

Propeller racing occurs when the upper tips of the blades emerge from the water due to the motions of the ship.

Page 47: Sea Keeping Lecture

The relative motion of the longitudinal position of the ship where the propeller is located can be utilised to determine the likelihood of propeller emergence.

The relative motion may be calculated by subtracting the local wave elevation from the local absolute vertical motion.

Propeller Emergence

Page 48: Sea Keeping Lecture

Ship motions cause two undesirable effects of people onboard:

• Motion sickness

• Impairment of ability to carry out tasks in a controlled manner

Human Performance

Page 49: Sea Keeping Lecture

The simplest human performance criterion

However it has been shown that the frequency of the oscillation is also important in assessing the impact on human performance.

Both Motions Sickness Incidence and Subjective Motions introduce a frequency dependence.

Vertical Acceleration

Page 50: Sea Keeping Lecture

MSI has become a standard method for comparing seakeeping performance of different designs, particularly passenger vessels.

May be displayed in two forms:

• The percentage of people likely to vomit within two hours

• The time period after which severe discomfort (sea sickness) occurs

Determined by sequentially integrating the acceleration spectral density over 1/3 octave bands and then plotting against the standard curves

Analysis limitations:

• Experiment subjects limited to young men - sea sickness incidence varies with age, sex and race.

• Statistically, tolerance to motions increases with time at sea, therefore ferry passengers are likely to be more susceptible to motion sickness than the crew.

• Additional influences such as vision, fear, odours etc. affect sea sickness, but their effects have not yet been quantified.

• Performance may be degraded before vomiting occurs.

Lateral accelerations experienced on board a vessel in rough weather may cause objects to topple and people to lose balance and stumble.

In a similar manner to subjective motions, lateral force estimators may be derived to ascertain the effect on a crew

Seakeeper

Based on Strip theory of Salvesen, Tuck & Faltinsen (1970):

· Divide the ship into sections or strips

· Calculate the added mass, damping and restoring force at each strip

· Integrate the added mass and damping over the length of the vessel

· Put these values into the equations of motion and solve them.

Page 62: Sea Keeping Lecture

Seakeeper

Strip theory assumes that· The ship is slender i.e. L>>B and L>>D

· There is no significant planing force. This implies low to moderate speeds for monohulls.

· The motions vary linearly with wave amplitude, which is usually valid for slender vessels operating in waves of small amplitude. However, extreme motions tend to be very nonlinear.

· There is no flow between strips, i.e. the motion is two-dimensional. Whilst this is clearlyincorrect, the results are surprisingly accurate.

· Viscous damping terms are negligible (a poor assumption for roll, but reasonable for pitch and heave under most conditions).

· The presence of the hull does not affect the incoming waves.

Page 63: Sea Keeping Lecture

Seakeeper

Coefficients are determined by conformally mapping each ship section to a circle, then using the known analytical solution for a circle (Ursell, 1949). The values are then put back into the equations of motion which are decoupled and solved, yielding RAOs and phase angles for pitch and heave.

The mapping will not replicate the ship section exactly; the goodness of fit depends mainly on the number of terms used in the mapping equation. However, the more terms, the slower the computation.

Seakeeper uses a three-term mapping equation, known as a Lewis mapping. This is adequate for mapping most conventional hull shapes, though it will have difficulty with some bulbous bows and very high section area coefficients.

Seakeeper - questions

· Mass distribution - what is the influence of changing the longitudinal radius of gyration?

· Number of mapped sections - what is the influence of changing the number of mapped sections?

· No transom terms - what is the influence of not utilising transom terms?

· Vessel speed - what is the influence of changing the speed of the proposed design?

· Idealised sea spectrum - what is the influence of utilising another form of idealised sea spectrum?
