Some of correlative problems,which should be solved with care in model test,are presented from analysis of the similarity principle for the ship maneuverability in this paper.A corrective method of appropriate angle of rudder is provided based on the result of maneuverability model test for a tanker with large scale and the corresponding prediction of the maneuverability for full scale tanker is satisfactory in view of engineering practice.展开更多

This paper presents experimental results of its performance from tests in water of different depths,while bearing different loads. For test purposes,one of the best self-propelled barges from the Chishui River was used as a performance reference. The comparison showed that the new design has better maneuvering performance.展开更多

First, the captive model tests are carried out to obtain the hydrodynamic forces acting on the submersible using a Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM). For the hydrodynamic forces within a wide range of attack angles, the hydrodynamic coefficients which are usually used in the conventional maneuvering motion are quite difficult to be applied. In this case, a Fourier series is adopted to represent the hydrodynamic forces and it fits the experimental data well. Then, based on the experimental results the simulation calculations are made to predict some of the maneuvering performance of the low speed submersible.展开更多
