Abstract

The angle dependence of the roll damping moment is investigated by analysing experimentally obtained free roll decay records. Two ship models were used with and without bilge keels, also results with forward speed were obtained. The analysis indicate strong angle dependence and explains why the quadratic and cubic velocity dependent damping moments are successful in many cases.
