MANOEUVRING AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS OF SPECIAL TYPE SHIPS
MANOEUVRING AND CONTROL CHARACTERISTICS OF SPECIAL-TYPE SHIPS
SERIES
In this series of two videos the special-type ship chosen is a Pure
Car Carrier (PCC). The series uses this ship type to show the
theory and the practice of ship handling. Many of the common
problems of ship handling apply in the extreme to the PCC so its
choice for use as an example in this series helps in the
understanding of basic principles.
The two videos discuss from first principles some of the forces,
coefficients and equations which determine the handling of ships.
The two features of ship handling described in these videos
are:
Part 1 - Focusing on the Wind Pressure Effect on a PCC
Part 2 - Anchoring and Mooring of a PCC
FOCUSING ON THE WIND PRESSURE EFFECT ON A PCC
This video contains the following sections:-
Effect of wind
Turning action attributed to the motion of the underwater
hull
The limit of steerability under the pressure of wind
Cardinal points for steering a PCC under wind...
