1. Project Title

Use of Initial Trim to Minimise Dynamic Under Keel Clearance for Full Form Vessels.

2. Aim

With the current demand for cargo vessels to be larger and travel faster the effects of shallow water

have become more significant to the shipping industry. When travelling in shallow water full form

vessels will undergo sinkage and trim due to pressure effects on the hull. Therefore the aim of this

research is to determine whether an initial trim on a full form vessel will reduce the amount of vessel

squat and trim when underway.

3. Supervisors

The primary supervisor is Jonathan Duffy from the Australian Maritime College (AMC). Chris Hens

and Giles Lesser from O'Brien Maritime Consultants International (OMCI) are industry participants

and will co-supervise the project.

4. Scope

The scope of this project is to investigate the effect initial trim has on a full form generic bulk carrier

with regards to ship squat in shallow waterways. This will be achieved through physical scale model

tests in calm water in the Model Test Basin (MTB) at the AMC. A 2.385 metre long ship model will

be tested at a number of different speeds and depth to draft ratios for a range of initial bow down

trims. The heave and pitch will be measured using the motion capturing system Qualisys. A detailed

test program can be seen in 6.3.

If time permits the effect of changing the vessel beam will also be investigated. The model will be

tested at 3 different beams. Only two initial trims will be tested for the different beams, as well as zero

trim due to the limited testing time available. After the completion of the first beam test, if insufficient

time remains this part of the research may be removed from the scope.

As part of another first semester subject a CFD analysis may also be conducted. If this project is

completed it will also be used in this thesis. Results will be compared to experimental data and an

empirical formula and the correlation between the three methods will be analysed.

The data obtained will be compared to zero trim tests to determine if there are any benefits of loading

vessels with set trim by the bow.

5. Preliminary Literature Survey and References

5.1 Reasoning Behind Survey

The literature survey will be conducted to achieve the following:

To see if any other research has been undertaken in this field.

To gain a wide range of knowledge about the subject.

To determine what methods should be used.

To decide upon what parameters to investigate.

To determine what results are to be expected.

5.2 Literature Review

Dietze et al (1997) investigated the problem of squat and compared current methods to predict vessel

squat. Work they compared and discussed included Huuska (1976), Icorels (1980), Millward (1990)

and Barrass (1971). Three common hull forms were chosen to compare these techniques to predict

vessel squat in shallow waters. The tests were conducted in straight channels with no ship interaction

and no sudden changes in channel configuration. From the tests they concluded that it was not

possible to recommend one single squat estimation method as each method had different answers,

with the largest variation came at a Froude Depth Number of 2. However, from the tests they were

able to develop guidelines and graphs to recommend the most accurate method depending on different

situations.

Millward (1990) conducted experiments to investigate the influence of hull-form on vessel squat. His

results showed that the largest instances of squat were usually located at a Froude Depth Number of

0.9, while at supercritical speeds the squat would usually become negative, hence the vessel would

rise in the water rather than squat. He concluded that the squat curve will follow the same shape

regardless of the hullform with the only difference being in the values of squat. He took an empirical

approach to find a family of curves for the prediction of ship squat. Millward used Gibbing’s curve

fitting technique to find formulas to fit the curves. He found 4 constants, 3 of which were similar for

any hull form and one which was based on hull parameters. For the constant based on hull parameters

he used the extreme points from his results so his squat predictions would be larger to err on the side

of caution. From his results he deduced that the squat of the vessel was always greater at the bow

compared to amidships, especially for fuller formed vessels. He also concluded that the way the vessel

will trim is to do with where the centre of buoyancy (COB) is compared to amidships. For example if

the COB was forward of midships the vessel was more likely to trim towards the bow. In conclusion

Millward’s formulae showed good agreement to current squat formulae, in almost every case gave a

better agreement than the simple formulae previously used.

Eryuzlu (1994) conducted experiments into the under keel requirements for large vessels in shallow

waterways for the Canadian Coast Guard. They tested 5 models at a scale of 1/100, with varying

depth to draft ratios and speeds while keeping level trim in an unrestricted waterway. Over 1000 tests

were conducted and through multiple regression analyses two dimensionless equations were derived.

He stated that these equations can be applied with confidence to certain vessels (19000-227000DWT

with depth to draft ratios of 1.1 – 2.5). Extra tests were also conducted to determine the effect of

channel width. From these tests a channel width factor was derived and included in the equations. The

new equations were then compared to field data and other squat formulae, including Tuner, Barrass

and Simard’s equations. These equations were more accurate in both unrestricted and restricted

5

waterways than previous formulae, nothing that accuracy in restricted waterways was only high when

the width factor was used. The results from the tests concluded that for vessels with no trim, bow

squat was predominant. He made special mention as to the limits of applicability of their equations

and not to use them outside these bounds.

Dand (1971) investigated the effect of bulbous bows on ship squat. Again he did this as most of the

methods in use did not take into account any hull shape when predicting squat. He conducted model

tests in shallow water with two different hulls, one with a hemispherical bulb and the other having an

S-type protruding ram bow. The models were self-propelled and without rudders. The expected results

were that both sinkage and trim would increase at the same rate with a decreasing depth to draft,

however the results showed that only the mean sinkage increased. Dand was unsure of the reasons but

speculated that it would likely be to do with how close the bulb is to the free surface and the suction

effects a bulb would experience at different speeds. He concluded that certain ships with bulbous

bows and high block coefficients will have an increased value of mean sinkage, but they will not trim

by the head when h/T ratio is decreased, as many normal full form vessels would.

Dand (1972) also conducted research into the effect of squat in shallow water. The main difference in

his work to previous papers was that his research was based on predicting squat in waters with

unrestricted width while most previous papers predicted squat in restricted waterways. Dand

investigated three methods, a simple one-dimensional method, the Sogreah Method which is an

empirical method and a theoretical method by Tuck (1970). According to Dand these methods have

merit but they all disregard the effect of viscosity, propeller and squat due to the hull wave system,

therefore under predicting squat. From this investigation and model tests, Dand developed a

prediction method using the one dimensional theory with some modifications. Through his model

tests he calculated an effective channel width factor using the fluid disturbance around the hull as an

effective channel width. He then provided correction factors for the viscosity and the effect of the

propeller directly from model tests.

6.3 Test Program

The testing will be conducted in a group basis with Timothy Vaughan, Rohan Langford and Mitchell

Todd. The testing program is shown in Table 2 to Table 11. Each table represents one days’ worth of

testing. The test runs that will be of interest for my research are highlighted in grey. The testing has

been estimated to take 10 full days. This includes re runs, change over times, time needed for the tank

to settle and time needed to alter the model for different conditions. Set up time has not been included.

A length of time for setup will need to be decided upon discussing with technicians.

Preliminary testing has already taken place. This testing was done to confirm whether the Qualisys

system would be accurate enough to determine the small changes in heave and pitch needed for this

investigation. Another reason for the preliminary testing was to see whether the capture area for the

Qualisys program was large enough to record both the initial condition and a steady state in a single

run. Results from the initial testing indicate that Qualisys will have sufficient capture period to record

an initial value and a steady state period.
