Hydrodynamic Derivatives as a Function of Draught and Ship Speed

摘要

Forced oscillation experiments in sway and yaw have been carried out with a 10 feet model of the Series Sixty for five loading conditions and three forward speeds. The experiments included the bare hull condition, as well as the model equipped with rudder and propeller. In the last case rudder angle tests have been carried out, in addition to the determination of the yaw and sway derivatives. The various hydrodynamic derivatives are given in tabular form and the data include the corresponding straight line stability roots.
