Control System Design and Test Research of Ship U-Tube Passive Controlled Tank

摘要

Anti-rolling tank (ART) is one of the most popularly used stabilizing equipments fitting for ships working at each speed. The U-tube passively controlled tank is a typical ART, which could not only reduce rolling motion of a ship, but also reduce ship heel effectively under control. Firstly, the structure of the U-tube passively controlled tank is described in the paper, and simulation system of the ART is established. Then, the control strategy is obtained through simulation result. The control system of the ART is designed with the information of relevant products at home and abroad and experience ago. At last, the test bench is introduced to check the performance of the U-tube passively controlled tank system.
