    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:

    Tspw

    Tcw xb tg yb tg

    +a cos

    e t k xb cos k yb sin

    = 0(5)

    Tsw, Tp

    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

    ;

    yb = max (0, f (zb)) max (Bs /2) ,

    define deck structures such as cargo holds hatches, accom-

    modation, forecastle, etc.);

    zmin appropriate, minimal elevation of a cross section

    above the base plane.

    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)

    E output error; learning rate and

    N number of iterations.

    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:

    A

    L =

    zLmaxzLmin

    (LY yL)dz (18)

    tion using the trapezium method.

    behindVaft it should be calculated. Cross-sectional areas

    can be calculated using equations (18) and (19). The

    increments of the volumes by ships length dependently

    on LX position can be given as follows:

    if xi > LXandxi1 LX

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

    VL and from the right VRof it should be calculated. To

    obtain the volumes increments the cross-sectional areas

    from the left and from the right of the secant plane

    should be calculated. These areas can be given as (see

    Figure 3)

    follows:

    Taking into account the orthogonality of the rotation

    matrix Rm, we can obtain the location of the CB in body-

    0.868 m.

    The wave parameters were defined by the radar visually

    and were compared with the corresponding meteorological

    wave analysis charts.

    The instant value of the metacentric height was defined

    as function of instant rolling period, using formula (IMO,

    2002):

    GM=

    TR

    C = 0.373+ 0.023(B/ T) 0.043(L/100) (45)

    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.

    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.
