(Received 3 September 2008; final version received 5 September 2008)
This article presents a method of determining a ships transverse stability in regular waves of an arbitrary direction. Themain problem due to which the development of this method was caused, is the observed onset of parametric rolling of theship, directly connected with the fluctuation of stability. For continuous determination of a varying upright moment in roughseas the configuration of immersed part of the hull and its volume should be known. The equation for the waterline draft ineach point of the ships hull situated on the wave profile with arbitrary trim and list was obtained. To solve this equation, thespecific hull form mapping techniques was developed (the ordinate of the ships cross section was presented as a functionof draft). Knowing the configuration of immersed hull part, its volume, position of the centre of buoyancy and the uprightlever can be determined. As an application example of described method, two mathematically calculated situations of heavy
rolling in head and following waves because of stability variation are presented.Keywords: ship; stability; upright moment; parametric rolling
Introduction
A Ships behaviour in seaway significantly depends on the
configuration of the immersed hull part. As a ship moves
through the waves, the water plane area changes continu-
ously, thus the pressure distribution on the immersed hull
part due to buoyancy forces is also changing. This affects
the values of dynamic loads on the hull and the restoring
force parameters. This is called the parametric effect, as the
changing wave profile varies the ships stability parameters,
which can create very violent rolling (parametric reso-nance, significant reduceof transverse stability in following
waves) in certain circumstances (Shin et al. 2004; Clark,
2008). Taking into account the significance of negative
consequences that might be caused by above mentioned
phenomena, the problem of determination of such regimes
of ship motion in which dangerous variation of stability on
the specified sea state may arise is important and topical.
On the other hand, to solve this problem it is necessary to
define how the stability will vary during ship motion in a
seaway.
Analysis of the existing methods
Sufficiently detailed methods of calculation of an upright
moment or upright levers in waves are described in pub-
lications of Boroday and Necvetayev (1982), Voytkunsky
(1985) and Nechaev (1989).
The most comprehensive equation for the transverse
upright moment is presented in Boroday and Necvetayev
(1982). However thedetermination of this is connectedwith
significant computation problems. Another, more practical,
method of static placement on the wave (Voytkunsky,
1985) can be implemented using Vlasovs integral curves,
but this is not always convenient when applying this method
using a computer. In addition, for ships with low length to
breadth ratio and high Froude numbers this method leads
to overestimated values of reduced upright levers on the
wavecrest, causedbyinterferenceof incident anddiffracted
waves, that can not always be estimated applying only the-
oretical methods.
The regression model for determination of the upright
lever for the ship proceeding in following waves on thebasis of series of physical models trials was developed by
Nechaev(1989). In this model the upright lever is presented
as a function of wave parameters, hull form parameters and
the Froude number. This model can be easily applied on
a computer; however, it has some limits. Mainly it regards
length to breadth ratio limitation, the model is adequate for
L/B = 3.2 8 (for the typical Panamax container carrier,
L/B = 262/32.2 300/32.2 = 8.13 9.32) and Froude
number limitation (0.15 0.45). In addition, the hull form
of a specified ship can be considered in the model only ap-
proximately, which can significantly influence the adequacy
of obtained results, especially when calculating parametri-
cal roll of a ship having significant forward-aft asymmetry
that is pitching.
Formulation of the research goal
The goal of this research is development of the method
of calculation of the transverse stability for a ship with
an arbitrary angular attitude and draft in regular waves of
an arbitrary direction, completely taking into account the
ships hull geometry.

The restoring moment MR for the ship arbitrarily situ-
ated on the wave profile can be given as:
MR = g ( , , zh) GZ ( , , zh) (1)
in which ( , , zh), GZ ( , , z
h) is the volume displace-
ment and the upright lever of the ship, depending on the
ships immersion and angular orientation on the wave pro-
file; g acceleration of gravity; density of seawater;
(, , ) vector of ship angular orientation (pitch, roll
& yaw angles); (a, , ) vector of wave parameters
(amplitude, length, spreading direction); zh vertical dis-
placement of the ships centre of gravity.
Knowing the position of the centre of gravity
(CG) (xCG, yCG, zCG) and the centre of buoyancy (CB)
(xCB , yCB , zCB ) an upright lever GZ for a particular list
angle can be found as:
GZ = yCB cos + zCB sin zCG sin (2)
The location of the CG in a body-fixed coordinate system
with a constant loading condition is also constant. At the
same time, location of the CB directly depends on the con-
figuration of the ships hulls immersed part. When the ship
is proceeding in a seaway, its position shifts to the side of
ships inclination with respect to vertical motion displace-
ment, pitch and roll angles. Therefore, to derive from static
formulation of the stability problem, the restoring moment
can always be found knowing the location of the CB.
The equation of ships hullwave profile intersection
curve
There are two coordinate systems that were applied in this
method:
body-fixed coordinates system with the centre Ob that is
the point of intersection of the base plane, the middle
plane and the centre plane of the ship. Axis Xb is positive
forward, Yb is positive to starboard andZb is positive
upwards;
moving coordinates system that is moving with the ships
mean velocity, its horizontal plane is parallel to the calm
water surface and submerged with the ships maximum
draft, the other two planes are perpendicular to it and
shifted with respect of the ships angular orientation.
To find the configuration of the immersed hull part in the
moving coordinates system, at first it is necessary to de-
termine the curve of intersection between the hull and the
wave profile.
When the ship is on an even keel without a constant list,
the deviation of a local draft from its calm water value on
the wave profile can be determined as follows:
T = a cos
e tk xb cos k yb sin
(3)
For the ship with initial list and trim in calm water, a
local deviation from the even keel draft can be written as
follows:
T = xb tg + yb tg. (4)
In equations (3) and (4)
T draft increment;
a wave amplitude;
e frequency of encounter; wave direction relatively to the ship (0 following
waves);
k wave number, k = 2 / and
P(xb, yb, zb) an arbitrary point on the hull surface in
the body-fixed system.
To define the enclosed intersection curve between the
ships hull and the wave profile, lets provisionally divide the
hull on M cross sections (usually 2030) and obtain next
equation for corresponding drafts from port and starboard
side of each cross section in body-fixed coordinate system:

wport and starboard side drafts in a given cross sec-
tion;
Tcw even keel/calm water draft.
In equation (5), the value ofxb is known for each cross
section. Therefore, (5) is the equation with two unknown
variables Tw andyb, which can be solved using the gradient
method.
Hull form mapping method
To solve equation (5) for an arbitrary value of port and star-
board drafts on the cross sections, it is necessary to obtain
an analytical representation of the hull form. However, the
classical conformal mapping may be ineffective, because
for each new draft the corresponding mapping coefficients
need to be recalculated. The most convenient within the
scope of this problem is to obtain the relation between
cross section draft and its breadth.
To obtain such a relation the neural networks theory
(Haykin, 2006) can be applied. For the individual cross

The results of the ships hull cross section approxima-
tion using different mapping techniques, including one de-veloped by the author, neural mapping by draft, and by
parameter, are shown in Figure 1.
Solving the equation of ships hullwave profile
intersection curve
Using neural approximation (6), port and starboard side
drafts of each cross section can be found from equation (5)
using the gradient method.
Taking as draft, initial value Tw(0) = Tcw, each next
iteration it can be changed in the next manner:
Tspw (n) = Tsp
w (n 1)+ E(n) (7)
E(n) = Tspw (n)

If = 0.5, the convergence of equation (5) to zero
and, consequently, the value ofTw can be obtained forn =
7, . . . , 20.
Finding the CB location
When the values of port and starboard drafts on each cross
section are obtained, using neural approximation (6), the
ensemble of points Sg= [Xg YgZg] of the immersed hull
surface on the wave profile by M cross sections in thebody-fixed coordinate system can be calculated. As secant
planes should be located in a moving coordinate frame, to
converse Sg next rotation matrix, excluding the yaw angle,
should be used (Fossen, 2002):
Rm =
cos() sin () sin () sin () cos ()0 cos () sin ()
sin () cos () sin () sin () cos ()
(9)
As the result the next ensemble of points in the moving
coordinate system will be obtained: Sm = Sg Rm.
The immersed part of the ships hull calculated by theabove mentioned method is shown in Figure 2.

As ordinates of conversed cross sections from the port
and starboard sides are different and the hull form lost its
port-starboard symmetry, to find the position of the CB two
methods can be applied. The first is to recalculate mapping
coefficients for the transformed cross sections and then to
calculate appropriate static moments and volume of the
immersed hull part, from which the CB coordinates can beeasily foundusing following equations (Voytkunsky, 1985):
xCB = Myz /V; yCB = Mxz /V; zCB = Mxy /V
V =
L/2L/2
zmaxzmin
(yR yL) dz dx (10)
Myz =
L/2L/2
zmaxzmin
(yR yL) x dz dx (11)
Mxz =
L/2L/2
zmaxzmin (y
R)2 (yL)2 dz dx (12)
Mxy =
L/2L/2
zmaxzmin
(yR yL) z dz dx (13)
Where yR andyL are y coordinates of thecorresponding
right and left contours of the cross section.
To simplify mathematical expressions the cross-
sectional coordinates in the moving system are given with-
out subscript m.
However, this method demands high computational ef-
forts. A comparatively faster way is to find the CB as the
intersection point of the three planes dividing the immersedpart of the ships hull into four parts of equal volume using
the gradient method. Taking into account that the vector of
buoyancy force is perpendicular to the water surface, it can
be concluded that horizontal secant plane is parallel to the
water surface and vertical and transverse secant planes are
perpendicular to it.
Lets define theextreme values of thehulls offsetsLX=
max(Xm); LY= max(Ym); LZ= max(Zm).
The coordinates of each cross section should be divided
into left- andright-side coordinates with the division point
situated in the minimum value ofzm.
Positions of the variable secant planes can be given as
follows:
LX = max (min (Xm) , LX HX) (14)
LY = max (min (Ym) , LYHY) (15)
LZ
= max (min (Zm) , LZ HZ) (16)Hn = Hn1 + V (17)
Where H step size for the gradient method;
V difference between volumes truncated by variable
secant plane;
n corresponding step number.
The vertical axis in the point ym= 0 cannot be used
to perform the integration as the left or right side of the
inclined hull may cross it. Therefore, the integration can be
performed relative to any arbitrary vertical axis that isnt
crossed by the inclined ships hull. Lets situate this axis in
the point LYthat is always the extreme starboard point. Forthe general case the cross-sectional area can be calculated
as follows:

2. XZ-plane. For this secant, plane volumes from the left

obtain the volumes increments the cross-sectional areas

Theconvergenceof thevolumes difference to zero when us-

the moving coordinate system.
Taking into account the orthogonality of the rotation
matrix Rm, we can obtain the location of the CB in body-
fixed coordinate system:

The wave parameters were defined by the radar visually
and were compared with the corresponding meteorological

as function of instant rolling period, using formula (IMO,
2002):

In equation (43): L, B, T waterline length, mean draft
and moulded breadth.
The rolling angles of the ship and the instant valuesof the metacentric height calculated by equation (44) are
shown in Figure 4.
By GM values obtained from equation (44) the
mean value of the metacentric height can be calculated:
GMmean = 0.7379 m. Calculated mean square deviation of
the metacentric heightGM= 0.3237 m, thus, GM =
0.4141 m, GM+ = 1.062 m. As shownin Figure 4, the main
part of the GM(t) curve is limited by GM. Whereas,
calculation will be carried out on the regular waves with
parameters Tmean = 8 s, h1/3 = 3 m, values ofGM(t) bigger
or smaller, then set limits will be not taken into account as
they are induced by the waves irregularity.
Applying the prescribed method for the defined wave
parameters and ship load conditions, the stability curves in
calm water, on the wave trough and on the wave crest and
corresponding values of GM can be obtained (Figure 5).
The observed data and results of the estimation are given
in Table 1. It can be seen that the discrepancies in GM
calculations are small.
As illustrative example of the variation of the ships sta-
bility in waves, the results of corresponding calculations ofstatic stability curves for Handymax class container carrier
are shown in Figures 67.

with above mentioned method applied are shown. First
is severe parametric rolling in head waves, and second is
ships rolling with continuously reduced stability in follow-
ing waves.
Conclusion
This article presents the method of determination of aships transverse stability in regular waves of an arbitrary
direction. The comparison of observed and estimated data
shows the sufficient accuracy of this method.
However, the hydrodynamic aspects of the restoring
moment determination, such as Smiths effect and effect of
ship produced waves and free waves interference should be
deeply studied in further research in conjunction with the
developed calculation method.
Because the effects of parametric rolling and reduc-
tion of stability are significant for modern ships, the anal-
ysis of stability variation problem, especially the detailed
study of the onset conditions of the harmonic and paramet-ric rolling resonances should be perspective trend.
