Hydrodynamic Aspects of Ship Safety: Transactions of the International Conference (1st) in Commemoration of the 300th Anniversary of Creating Russian Fleet by Peter the Great. Held in St. Petersburg, Russia on June 7-14, 1992

摘要

Up to now the majority of the considerations related to ship safety is devoted to still water condition with special emphasis on stability for the up-right situation against capsizing. At first special attention is focused at the maneuvering aspects of fast modern ships in certain environmental conditions such as a ferry-boat at high speed in restricted water. Seakeeping including motion induced phenomena is briefly considered. Chaotic behavior of the transverse stability in ultimate non-linear wave conditions appears to play an increasingly important role. The paper describes hydrodynamic aspects of ship safety.
