PREDICTION OF MANEUVERING PERFORMANCE FOR KVLCC1 & KVLCC2 BASED ON PMM DATA

Abstract

MOERI predicted the maneuvering performance of KVLCC1 and KVLCC2 based on system-based method. The mathematical model is a modular type model with 3 degrees of freedom established based on MMG concept. Hydrodynamic coefficients were estimated by analyzing PMM data of MOERI. This paper presents the mathematical model, estimated hydrodynamic coefficients and simulation results. Comparison of hydrodynamic characteristics and maneuvering performances are also made between KVLCC1 and KVLCC2.
