Parametric roll resonance, as a nonlinear phenomenon related to ship stability, is particularly apt to happen when a ship is sailing in longitudinal waves. It can generate sudden oscillation with large amplitude up to 30–40 degrees of roll and put the ship and crew in danger. To predict the parametric roll resonance of ships, a suitable model for describing this phenomenon is needed. In this paper, a nonlinear mathematical model considering the strong nonlinear coupling among the heave, roll, and pitch motions of ships is established, and support vector regression (SVR) is applied to identify the unknown damping and restoring coefficients in the mathematical model. To verify the accuracy and validity of SVR in parametric identification, a container ship is considered, and the coupled heave, roll, and pitch motions of the ship in longitudinal regular waves are simulated. Based on the simulated responses, the unknown coefficients in the mathematical model are identified by SVR. Then the coupled heave-roll-pitch motion of the container ship in regular waves is predicted by using the identified coefficients in comparison with the simulated data, and satisfactory agreement is achieved. From this study, it is concluded that SVR can be applied to identify the unknown coefficients in the nonlinear mathematical model for predicting the parametric roll resonance of ships in longitudinal regular waves.

Ship motion responses and added resistance in waves have been predicted by a wide variety of computational tools. However, validation of the computational flow field still remains a challenge. In the previous study, the flow field around the Korea Research Institute for Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO) Very Large Crude-oil Carrier 2 tanker model with and without propeller condition and without rudder condition was measured by the authors, as well as the resistance and self-propulsion tests in waves. In this study, the KRISO container ship model appended with a rudder was used for the higher Froude number .26 and smaller block coefficient .65. The experiments were conducted in the Osaka University towing tank using a 3.2-m-long ship model for resistance and self-propulsion tests in waves. Viscous flow simulation was performed by using CFDShip-Iowa. The wave conditions proposed in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Workshop 2015 were considered, i.e., the wave-ship length ratio λ/L = .65, .85, 1.15, 1.37, 1.95, and calm water. The objective of this study was to validate CFD results by Experimental Fluid Dynamics (EFD) data for ship vertical motions, added resistance, and wake flow field. The detailed flow field for nominal wake and self-propulsion condition will be analyzed for λ/L = .65, 1.15, 1.37, and calm water. Furthermore, bilge vortex movement and boundary layer development on propeller plane, propeller thrust, and wake factor oscillation in waves will be studied.

Abstract The IMO Intact Stability Code considers the parametric rolling phenomenon as one of the stability failure modes because of the larger roll angles attained. This hazardous condition of roll resonance can lead to loss of cargo, passenger discomfort, and even (in the extreme cases) the ship’s capsize. Studies as such are mostly conducted considering wave characteristics corresponding to wave lengths around one ship length (λ ≈ LPP) and wave amplitudes varying from moderate to rough values. These wave characteristics, recognised as main contributors to parametric rolling, are frequently encountered in deep water. Waves with lengths of such magnitudes are also met by modern container ships in areas in close proximity to ports, but with less significant wave amplitudes. In such areas, due to the limited water depth and the relatively large draft of the ships, shallow water effects influence the overall ship behaviour as well. Studies dedicated to parametric rolling occurrence in shallow water are scarce in literature. In spite of no accidents being yet reported in such scenarios, its occurrence and methods for its prediction require further attention; this in order to prevent any hazardous conditions. The present work investigates the parametric roll phenomenon numerically and experimentally in shallow water. The study is carried out with the KRISO container ship (KCS) hull. The numerical investigation uses methods available in literature to study the susceptibility and severity of parametric rolling. Their applicability to investigate this phenomenon in shallow water is also discussed. The experimental analysis was carried out at the Towing Tank for Manoeuvres in Confined Water at Flanders Hydraulics Research (in co-operation with Ghent University). Model tests comprised a variation of different forward speeds, wave amplitudes and wave lengths (around one LPP). The water depth was fixed to a condition equivalent to a gross under keel clearance (UKC) of 100% of the ship’s draft.

The KRISO container ship model is used for numerical simulations to investigate hydrodynamic performance under high speeds. Unsteady Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) and delayed detached eddy simulation (DDES) approaches are used to resolve the flow field around the ship model. High-resolution Volume of Fluid (VOF) technique in OpenFOAM is used to capture the free surface. The present work focuses on the wave-breaking phenomena of high-speed ships. To study the speed effects on the phenomenon of ship bow wave breaking, three different speeds, i.e., Fn = .26, .35, and .40, are investigated for a fixed ship model in calm water. Predicted resistance and wave patterns under Fn = .26 are validated with available experimental data, and a good agreement is achieved. The breaking wave phenomena can be observed from both URANS and DDES results for Froude numbers greater than .35. And the Fn = .40 case shows more violent breaking bow waves. The process of overturning and breaking of bow wave is more complex in the DDES results, and some small-scale free surface features are also captured. The predicted bow wave is compared with the experiment conducted at the China Ship Scientific Research Center. It shows that the DDES results are more accurate. Wave profiles and vorticity field at several cross sections are presented to illustrate the relationship between bow waves and vortices. It is found that the free surface vorticity dissipates quickly in the URANS simulation, which leads to the difference compared with the DDES results.
