... Forces and moment and phase-averaged Tomographic PIV (TPIV) local flow measurements are performed in a 3 m × 3 m × 100 m towing tank for a 3.048-m long geometrically similar model of surface combatant 5415 in pure sway maneuver. Test conditions are for maximum drift angle max = 10...

... maneuvering performance. The Seakeeping Division of the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) was given the responsibility of performing these tasks. NSWCCD personnel developed and tested a free running radio controlled 20th scale model. Model 5643 was constructed to represent the DDG 1000...

... outdoor test location is adequate space in which to conduct the various maneuvers. The space required for a particular maneuver will vary depending on the size of the model, the maneuverability of a particular design, and the model speeds required. In general, the areas required for the most commonly...

... Recent simulation testing of existing and proposed improvements to the Houston Ship Channel (HSC) in Galveston Bay has demonstrated the need for additional information on the behavior of ship maneuvering and passing in very restricted waterways. Modeling based on towing tank tests for bank/ship...

... The T.V. Kings Pointer, a research and training vessel operated by the Maritime Administration, conducted maneuvering trials in August of 1987. In a 5 day period, Kings Pointer executed 150 Individual maneuvers, of which 89 were performed for the purpose of collection of data for hydrodynamic...

... alternatives available to evaluate the hydrodynamic forces acting on the vessel: (1) Directly from model testing including measurements of the resistance/propulsion hydrodynamic forces and ship maneuvering forces (coefficients) acting on the vessel in a maneuver.
