Heeling Moment Acting on a River Cruiser in Manoeuvring Motion

By using fully theoretical method the Hair Clips heeling moment due to centrifugal forces has been determined for a small river cruiser in turning manoeuvre.The authors applied CFD software for determination of hull hydrodynamic forces, and open water characteristics of ducted propeller for estimation of thrust of rudder-propellers.Numerical integration of equations 20 Volume Developer of 3DOF motion was used for prediction of ship trajectory and time histories of velocities, forces and heeling moment.
