基于相轨迹特征的阻尼估算能量法改进研究

Energy method augmented by phase trajectory analysis for estimating rolling damping of ships

横摇是船舶在海上航行安全中首要考察的运动姿态。船舶横摇运动的高精度预报,需准确地估算横摇阻尼。引入相轨迹概念,以能量变化的视角,从船舶模型试验数据中提取幅值数据,进行横摇阻尼非线性特征的研究。分析幅值数据呈现的规律,提出新的幅值拟合函数,并相应改进横摇衰减拟合函数。采用线性加平方阻尼力矩模型,通过预设阻尼系数仿真生成静水船舶模型自由横摇数据,展开阻尼估算试验。试验显示:能量法的改进有效减小了阻尼系数的估算误差。基于阻尼系数进行数值预报,证明方法改进后的数值预报更加接近试验仿真数据。结果表明:能量法的改进是有效的,能更好地识别横摇阻尼的非线性特征,更准确地估算横摇阻尼系数。

The phase trajectory analysis is introduced into the energy method for better angle damping estimate,in turn,the better roll motion prediction of a ship.The model test data are collected in the same way of the conventional energy method and processed with phase trajectory analysis for extracting amplitude information.A law of rolling amplitude decaying is determined through data fitting.The calculated rolling damping is verified through simulation with linear-plus-square damping moment model.The accuracy improvement gained by the method is demonstrated.
