Abstract:

The dynamics and hydrodynamics of ship capsizing include strong nonlinearities, transient effects, and physical phenomena that have not been fully identified or studied. This paper presents a study of some of the various mechanisms associated with this extreme behavior. A quasi-nonlinear three degree of freedom numerical model is employed to examine the effects of initial conditions on the ultimate state of a box barge model. The numerical results are then used to provide structure and understanding to otherwise seemingly inconsistent and ambiguous experiments.
