Abstract
As is known to all, it is very dangerous when a ship turns in transverse waves. So it is of great significance to find out the effect of regular transverse wave and eliminate the effects. Using computer simulation method could grasp ship’s motion law in regular transverse waves. The simulation was based on MMG (usually called Maneuvering Model Group) ship mathematical model and a wave force mathematical model. During the simulation, let the ship sail both in regular waves and calm sea with the rudder angle being 0°and 20°, then recorded the tracks. To verify the authenticity of simulation result, a ship trail was made. Based on the analysis of the simulation results, a discussion will be made in order to design a rudder controller, and the effect of waves can be reduced. In conclusion, the effect regular transverse wave acting on ship turning maneuverability can be obtained, and it is a practicable plan to design a rudder controller.
