Correlation between Hull Form Factors and Behaviors of Hydrodynamic Force Acting on Lateral Motion Ships at Shallow Water

Key Points

Explore the relationship between hull form factors and hydrodynamic forces acting on ships in shallow water.
Analyzed correlations between hull form and hydrodynamic forces.
Examined impacts of water depth on maneuverability.
Considered recent trends in ship size during analysis.
Identified clear correlations between hull design and hydrodynamic behaviors.
Clarified shallow water's significant effects on ship maneuverability.
Emphasized increasing accident risks as ship sizes grow.

Abstract

Correlations between hull form factors and behaviors of hydrodynamic force acting on lateral motion ships were investigated, and response to water depth change at shallow water area was clarified. The shallow water effects to maneuverability were well known by the ship operators, however, the accidents caused by that factor will not disappear. Recent increase of ship size is significant, and the needs for attention on shallow water effects has been serious.
