We have investigated the usefulness cf active stabilizing system to reduce ship rolling under disturbances, using varying reaction cf the flaps. In the proposed anti-rolling system for a ship, the flaps as the actuator are installed on the stem to reject rolling motion induced by disturbances like wave. The action induced by flaps which depends on power of disturbances am take the ship balance. Especially, in this study we identify the controlled system under the undefined system structure using spectral analysis and experimental studies. Based on these informations, we design the controller to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system.

In this paper, an actively controlled anti-rolling system is considered to reduce the rolling motion of the ship. In this control system, a small auxiliary mass is installed on the upper area of the ship, and actuator us connected between the auxiliary mass and a ship. The actuator reacts against the auxiliary mass, applying inertial control forces to the ship to reduce the rolling motion in the desired manner. In this paper, we apply the PID controller to design the anti-rolling control system for the controlled ship. And the experimental result shows that the desirable control performance is achieved.

In this paper, an actively controlled anti-rolling system is considered, in order to reduce the rolling motion of a ship. In this control system, a small auxiliary mass is installed on the upper area of the ship, and an actuator is connected between the auxiliary mass and the ship. The actuator reacts the auxiliary mass, applying inertial control forces to the ship to reduce the rolling motion in the desired manner. In this paper, we introduce LMI based H$_{\infty}$ control approach to design the anti-rolling control system for the controlled ship. And the experimental results show that the desirable control performance can be achieved.

We have investigated the usefulness of an active stabilizing system to reduce ship rolling under disturbances, using varying reaction of the flaps. In the proposed anti-rolling system for a ship, the flaps, as the actuator, are installed on the stern, in order to reject the rolling motion induced by disturbances, such as waves. The action induced by the flaps, which is dependent upon the power of the disturbances, can keep the ship in balance. In this study, we define the system parameters under the given system structure, using spectral analysis and experimental studies. Based on this information, we design the controller to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system.

The wing-flap stabilizing system attached under the hull bottom of a small fishing vessel to prevent the capsize by controlling the roll motions has been developed. This paper describes the background of the system design together with the experimental results. The effectiveness of the system is proven by the towing tank tests with a 1/4 scale model, showing that the roll motions of the model are much reduced by the active flap control in multidirectional irregular waves forward speeds.

Anti-Roll Tanks, also called Sloshing Tanks, is a rather common and sometimes an efficient method of limiting the roll angles. The important parameters, when considering using anti-roll tanks, are positioning, size, duct area, flow control device etc. Measurement by the PIV(Particle Image Velocimetry) was conducted to investigate the flow characteristics around control damper and inlet area of duct for three kind of inclined angle $(\alpha=0^*,\;10^*\;and\;20^*)$. Flow behaviors such as instantaneous and time-mean velocity vectors are investigated. Furthermore, to reveal boundaries between flowing and stagnant zones and to extract velocity profiles at any selected sections of the lower duct for passive anti-rolling tanks system.
