Seakeeping and Manoeuvring JEE329

Introduction

The purpose of the unit is to provide knowledge on ship seakeeping and ship manoeuvring. The details behind theoretical and experimental prediction methods are described and students use this information to predict and assess ship seakeeping and manoeuvring performance. Students undertake seakeeping experiments in the AMC Towing Tank to investigate the behaviour of a ship model in waves and to obtain benchmark data to assess selected prediction methods. This unit builds on the basic engineering knowledge gained in previous years.
