A system identification method is introduced to increase the prediction accuracy of a ship's maneuverability in PMM test, analysis. To improve the accuracy of linear hydrodynamic coefficients, the analysis techniques of pure sway and yaw tests are developed, and confirmed. In the analysis of sway tests, accuracy to linear hydrodynamic coefficients depends on the frequency of sway motion. To obtain nonlinear hydrodynamic coefficients for large drift angles, a combined yaw test is introduced. Using this system identification method, runs of PMM test can be reduced while retaining sufficient accuracy, compared to the Fourier integration method. Through the comparisons with sea trial results and the Fourier integration method, the accuracy and efficiency of the newly proposed system identification method, based on least square method, has been validated.

Recently, ultra large scale of ship is being ordered continuously and because of that, the accurate prediction of ship maneuverability in design stage becomes important matter. The model test like PMM test or CFD analysis are representative methods for predicting the maneuverability of ship. In this study, the captive model tests were carried out for predicting maneuverability of MOERI container ship(KCS) which is opened to the public using X-Y Carriage of Ocean Engineering Wide Tank of University of Ulsan. Considering the dimensions of tank, 2m class model ship was used for captive model test. CMT(Circular Motion Test) was performed for obtaining purer hydrodynamic coefficients related to yawing velocity. For getting hydrodynamic coefficients which cannot be obtained using CMT, PMM test(Planar Motion Mechanism test) were also performed. The maneuverability prediction results by simulation are compared with those of other research institutes.

In this paper, we studied to improve Inoue's[1] and Kijima's[2] model used to predict ship's manoeuvrability at initial design state. To perform this work, we carried out PMM(Planar motion Mechanism) test and rudder open water test for 12 models of low-speed blunt-ship which have horn type rudders and bulbs in afterbody. As we adopted MMG(Mathematical Modelling Group) model, we could analyze hydrodynamic and MMG experimental coefficients. The regression analyses by principle parameters were carried out for hydrodynamic and MMG experimental coefficients. The regression analyses by principle parameters were carried out for hydrodynamic and MMG experimental coefficients and the equations by regression analysis wee used to search sensitivities and to estimate ship's manoeuvrability. We had simulated ship's manoeuvrability to check revised MMG.

Recently, ship maneuverability has been very important issue due to accidents of frequent occurrence at sea. IMO standards for ship maneuverability were applied from January 1, 2004. In this study, maneuverability model tests were considered through a 2m-class KVLCC1 in the Ocean Engineering Wide Tank at University of Ulsan(UOU). Circular Motion Test(CMT) was performed to obtain the maneuvering coefficients by using X-Y Carriage. The trajectories simulated using the coefficients are compared with those of PMM test and free running test.

In this paper, a mathematical model for a ship manoeuvring with low forward speed in shallow water was suggested. Based on the cross flow model with low forward speed in deep sea, hull, propeller and rudder models were modified to consider the shallow water effects. Static drift and PMM tests were performed to obtain the cross flow drag coefficients and hydrodynamic coefficients. To validate suggested mathematical model, numerical simulation results were compared with those of sea-trials. Through comparisons, it was concluded that suggested mathematical model could give proper estimation on turning test results.

This paper is characterized as comparison with Abkowitz and MMG mathematical model for the manoeuvring prediction using the Horizontal Planar Motion Mechanism tests at the initial design stage. The MMG analysis algorithm of this paper was studied according to the developed method by the MMG(Mathematical Modelling Group) organized in Japen. The simulation results were compared with those of Abkowitz mathematical model and sea trial, taking a product carrier as an example vessel.

In this paper, we studied the maneuvering performances of a ship with flapped rudder. PMM tests were carried out for a ship model with horn type rudder or flapped rudder. The Abkowitz's model was used as a basic mathematical model to simulate the maneuvering motions. The maneuvering motions of a ship with flapped rudder were compared with those of a ship with horn-type rudder. As a result, it was found that the turning ability of a ship with flapped rudder was remarkably improved.

본 논문은 고속 주행하는 소형의 수중 운동체의 롤 제어기에 대한 연구를 정리한 결과이다. 모형 PMM 시험의 롤 관련 유체력 계수 값의 오차가 커서 실해역 시험에서 시뮬레이션 결과와는 다른 진동현상이 발생하였으나, 시험 결과를 이용한 튜닝과정을 통하여 안정적인 롤 제어 성능을 획득할 수 있었다.

In this parer, the effects of a skeg, rudder and stern hull form on the manoeuvrability of a container carrier with small length to draft ratio have been investigated through a series of model test. Rudder open water tests and PMM tests were carried out with varying rudder area, afterbody appendages and stern hull form to investigate their effects on the manoeuvrability. The MMG model developed in Japan was used for the manoeuvring simulation with experimentally obtained hydrodynamic coefficients. The result showed that the effects by the variation of stern profile and the skeg below stern bulb are much larger than those by any other types of appendages in improving directional stability of the vessel.

무인잠수정이 원하는 경로를 추종할 수 있도록 안정적인 운항제어를 수행하기 위해서는 잠수정의 동역학적 특성을 정확히 파악하는 것이 필요하다. 수중에서 거동하는 무인잠수정의 동역학적 특성은 제어입력뿐만 아니라 유체력계수에 의해 주로 결정되므로, 이러한 계수값을 정확하게 아는 것이 중요한 요소라 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 유체력계수는 PMM 시험과 같은 실험적 방법을 통하여 얻게 되지만 실험방법의 어려움과 실험장비들의 부정확성으로 인한 오차에 의하여, 얻어진 값들의 신뢰성이 많이 저하된다. 계수값들을 구할 수 있는 다른 방법으로는, 확장칼만필터 등과 같은 모델기반 추정 알고리즘을 통하여 유체력계수를 추정하는 것이다. 본 논문에서는 확장칼만필터를 이용하여 유체력계수를 추정하도록 하였으며, 설계된 추정 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하기 위하여 기존에 수행된 PMM 시험에 의해 얻어진 유체력계수의 실험값과 비교 분석하였다. 또한 본 논문에서는 만타형 무인잠수정을 이용하여 원하는 경로를 추종할 수 있도록, 추정된 유체력계수를 사용하여 수심제어 및 방향제어를 위한 슬라이딩 모드 제어기를 설계하였으며, 충분한 정확도를 가지고 원하는 경로를 추종함을 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인하였다.
