Abstract:

Contents Some notes on interaction effects between ships close aboard in deep water Model tests with bow-jet Bow-steering screw propellers Model experiments about the maneuverability and turnign of ships Notes on rudder design practice Ship maneuverability and turnign of ships Notes on rudder design practice Ship maneuverability as influenced by the transient response to the helm Experiments on ship maneuverability in canals as carried out in the Paris model basin Data for estimating bank suction effects in restricted water on merchant ship hulls Handling quality criteria for surface ships On the measurement of added mass and added moment of inertia of ships in steering motion Analysis of Kempfs Standard Maneuver test and proposed steering quality indices Control of roll-damping system Turnign characteristic coefficients for a cargo ship and a destroyer Directional stability of automatically steered ships with particular reference to their bad performance in rough sea A study of course keeping and manoeuveuring performance.
