0.1 Symbols and Terminology Group

0.1.1 Terms of Reference

In May 1985 the Executive Committee of the 18th International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC)reorganised the former Information Committee, earlier Presentation Committee, to form a Symbolsand Terminology (SaT) Group in the newly established ITTC Secretariat.

The task of the SaT Group for the 18th ITTC was to carry out Recommendations 1 through 5,related to the ITTC Standard Symbols, of the Information Committee of the 17th ITTC, whichwere:

1. The Information Committee should continue to monitor and co-ordinate the developmentof new symbols by the Technical Committees.

2. The Conference should adopt the new symbols for hydrostatics included in Appendix 4and the Information Committee should then include these in the ITTC Standard Symbols.

3. The Information Committee should restructure the ITTC Standard Symbols according tothe outline Proposal in Appendix 6 and include new symbols agreed by the TechnicalCommittees.

4. The Information Committee should continue to revise the Dictionary of ShipHydrodynamics as required.

5. The Information Committee shoud continue cooperation with other organizations toachieve a common agreement on symbols and terminology.

The 18th ITTC at Kobe adopted the following Recommendations to the Conference and for thefuture work of the SaT Group, respectively, related to Symbols:

Recommendations to the Conference:

1. The Conference should adopt the structure of the ITTC standard Symbols and Termino-logy List outlined by the Symbols and Terminology Group and used as the basis for the1987 Draft List distributed at the 18th ITTC in Kobe.

2. The Conference should urge the Technical Committees and individuals to contribute tothe completion of the List of Standard Symbols and should encourage the use of thesymbols and their further development in cooperation with the Symbols and TerminologyGroup.

3. The Conference should decide to delay the review and update of the ITTC Dictionaryof Ship Hydodynamics and the official translations of this into principal languages until thefinal Symbols and Terminology List is published in 1990.

Recommendations for the future work of the Group:

1. The Symbols and Terminology Group should continue cooperation with otherorganizations to achieve a common agreement on symbols and terminology.

2. The Symbols and Terminology Group should continue to monitor and coordinate thedevelopment of new symbols and terminology by the Technical Committees of the ITTC.

3. The Symbols and Terminology Group should complete the ITTC Standard Symbols andTerminology List based on the 1987 Draft distributed at the 18th ITTC and distribute thefinal version with Volume 1 at the Proceedings of the 19th ITTC.

Finally the 19th ITTC at Madrid adopted the following recommendations related to symbols:

Recommendations to the Conferences:

The 1990 version of the List of Standard symbols should be used as a working documentwithout the formal approval of the Conference.

Recommendations for the future work of the Group:

The SaT Group to put the computer compatible symbols on a more rational basis in orderto make them useful for data exchange puposes.

0.1.2 Activities

The SaT Group took up its work immediately after it was established having its first meeting atWageningen in October 1985, and coming up with the plan to produce the present draft of arestructured and enlarged list of the ITTC Standard Symbols 1987. The first raw draft wasdiscussed at Berkeley in July 1986, the Draft 1987 published at the 18th ITTC in October 1987at Kobe by the Society of Naval Architects of Japan, having been finalized at Trondheim in June1987.

Work on various chapters has been continued by the 18th ITTC SaT Group and the results havebeen distributed to the Technical Committees at the Kobe Conference together with the printedDraft 1987.

The SaT Group of the 19th ITTC continued work on the Standard Symbols during meetings atGenova in March 1988, at the Hague and Berlin in September 1988 and in August 1989 atTrondheim, the 1990 version being completed at Genova in March 1990.

During this work, new and more rigorous requirements resulting from the proposed use of thesymbols in validation work and in data bases caused a reconsideration of the fundamental aspects.Duplication of computer symbols had to be carefully traced and avoided, in order to permitautomatic handling of symbols in data bases.

In order to facilitate the handling of the List of Symbols the earlier version was retyped as a series

of WordPerfect files, which were available much too late for updating and were printed withouteven having been proof read! Consequently, the goal of finalizing the symbols list before the 19thITTC at Madrid could not be reached. From the document itself it is evident that was less thana draft.

The SaT Group of the 20th ITTC met at Madrid in September 1990, at Berlin in June 1991, atNewcastle in May 1992 and at Genova in January 1993. The primary task after many years offrustrations with the computerized list of symbols was to finally establish a computer implement-ation permitting direct expert corrections on a PC.

After the previous transscription into the WordPerfect files using the tabulator function the solutionwas achieved by transformation to the table format. With the appropriate tools being available afterall the next task tackled was to correct all the misprints and to implement all the improvementssuggested by colleagues of member organisations and members of the SaT Group. The List ofSymbols as printed is now available on a floppy discs using the format of a WordPerfect 5.2master document with the appropriate subdocuments, being themselves master documents accordingto the structure of the list.

The main concern after this still rather traditional approach was to achieve the goal set out in theRecommendations for the future work of the SaT Group, to put the computer symbols on a morerational basis. And it soon became evident that the accomplishment of this task could only beachieved by rigorously following the object oriented paradigma applied earlier in restructuring theList of Symbols. The basic principles and rules behind this work are outlined in the followingchapters of this preface.

Two problems had to be solved: to maintain the traditional, in many ways inconsistent "Standard"Symbols as an accepted interim and suggest new consistent symbols as alternatives. Some of theseare already used in computer work and SaT Group feels that due to their efficiency they willsooner or later completely replace the traditional symbols as has the system of SI-Units thetraditional systems.

In view of the increasing demands concerning quality assurance systems the SaT Group felt thatthe ITTC Symbols should no longer be called Standard Symbols as this name implies legalobligations, which are not existent. The International Standard Organisation and correspondingnational organisations may at a later stage take measures to adopt the ITTC Symbols as a Standardas was already intended with the earlier version; s. 0.5.3.

During the work to rationalize the computer compatible symbols for use in databases etc the SaTGroup became aware of a number of related efforts on an even more general level, which need tobe taken into account in the further development of the ITTC Symbols. As documented in theGroup Report to the 20th ITTC the development and and application of terminological databasesis dramatically increasing and has lead to a number of specialized workshops and symposia.

In the broadest sense terminological databases are basic for computer aided knowledge and scienceengineering, which are developing at a breath taking pace. In order to meet the forthcomingrequirements the ITTC Symbols will have to be further rigorously rationalized. Compared to thisformidable task, which has only been started with the new object oriented structure of the SymbolsList, the transformation from the present table format into one of the rapidly developing

Version 1993 4

terminological database formats appears to be a minor task.

The software systems presently available do still not meet very basic requirements, as did the wordprocessors up to now, absorbing too much of the energy of the SaT Group which should have beendevoted to the symbols proper. While the problem of producing customized lists of symbols canbe solved rather easily, the much more interesting problem of deriving consistent submodels fromthe general models of the complete list needs still much more development work.

At this stage, it is appropriate to acknowledge with thanks the tremendous work done by the formerPresentation and Information Committees and the Technical Committees in their respective fields.It is only on the basis of their work that the task of the SaT Group could have been undertakenand can be carried on. Last but not least a word of thanks is due to the great number of typistswho have at all stages contributed to the actual production of the document.

All the ITTC Communnity, the Technical Committees in particular are invited to contribute to thecontinuing task of updating and further improvement.

0.2 List of Symbols

0.2.1 Classification

The prime concern in setting up a revised and enlarged list of ITTC Standard Symbols was todesign an adequate system for the classification of concepts. As soon as the work started it becameclear that the outline proposed by the Information Committee of the 17th ITTC (Proc. 17th ITTC(1984) Vol.1, p.56) had to be reconsidered in view of the problems encountered.

Subsequently the following design requirements and goals have been established:

Page 13: ITTC Symbols and Terminology List - T-Onlinem-schmiechen.homepage.t-online.de/HomepageClassic01/satl_93.pdf · The 18th ITTC at Kobe adopted the following Recommendations to the Conference

ITTC Symbols 0 Introduction

Version 1993 6

1. produce a coherent document, meeting the present and possibly the future requirementsof the ITTC community in general and particular user groups

2. establish an open ended matrix structure that can be easily expanded as requirementsarise, without the need of restructuring and repetition or too many explicit cross-references

3. minimize departures from the well established and widely accepted previous list ofsymbols

After a series of attempts to meet these requirements the structure as listed in the table of contentsevolved very much in line with the past development of the symbols, for instance by the HighSpeed Craft Committee and others. The essential features are the subject areas of rather limitedscope, organized in an hierarchical order. Ideally each subject area represents a complete andcoherent model of that area under consideration, for example rigid body motion, hull geometry,propulsor performance.

0.2.2 Structure

The concepts related to a given subject area or model are designated by the ITTC Symbol andcalled by their Name. Their meaning can in principle only be concluded from the context of themodel, that is by coherent, so called 'implicit' definitions, to be derived from an explicit statementof the model, ideally an axiomatic system or any equivalent, for example a drawing.

The problem is that traditionally in lists of symbols as in dictionaries these explicit models aremissing for various reasons. One reason is that many subject areas under discussion are far frombeing developed and understood to the extent necessary. A consequence of this situation is that thesymbols proposed are not always as coherent as is necessary for advanced and systematic work,where the explicit models and adequate notations area are a prerequisite.

The problem under discussion is of course the same in national and international standards. Inorder to avoid the dilemma indicated, the ITTC Symbols should not only perpetuate past practiceand jargon but try to take the lead and step forward. This is particularly important in view of thedevelopment trends in marine technology. In a rapidly changing world adequate tools areprerequisite for efficient problem solving.

As expert system and knowledge engineering technologies evolve the importance of adequatesymbols and terminology is more widely acknowledged. The training of scientists working in theterminology field is being offered by the standards organizations. Some of these activities havebeen monitored but are felt to be lacking in clear-cut rules which may be readily understood andapplied in practice.

The original idea to add indices of symbols and names to the document had to be delayed as longas adequate tools were missing. Now such an undertaking is felt to be still premature at the presentstage, as it requires the resolution of a number of additional problems, such as standardisation ofnames.

Version 1993 7

0.2.3 Organization

As has been emphasized the development of symbols is a continuing process and as the subjectdevelops, further amendments and additions, as approved by the Conference, will be included infuture editions of the list.

In order to avoid any extra problems the symbols are arranged in alphabetical order in each subjectarea as in previous lists. Continuous page numbering was discarded in earlier versions. The ideawas to establish a loose leaf organization as the most appropriate, in view of new drafts to beincorporated.

In view of the extremely powerful modern word processing systems the whole idea was discardedand advantage was taken of the indexing cababilities etc. permitting efficient production of realupdates including in future additional explanations and sketches or drawings related to particularsections where necessary, and as found in national and international standards.

But in view of the tremendous effort which explicit mathematical models, explanations, andsketches take for their preparation, the present SaT Group has only started to consider guidelinesfor these additions and has added only few examples of explanations to the present list. TheTechnical Committees and other interested parties are urged to provide further material for reviewby the SaT Group and future inclusion into the list.

It has been noted by the SaT Group that some users dislike the disruption of the list of symbolsby lengthly explanations. But the Group feels that the complexity of the subject and the sensibleuse of the symbols require such explanations, the more so as the fundamentals of the theory ofscience and terminology are not taught to students of naval architecture and marine engineering.

0.3 Principles of Notation

0.3.1 Objects: Quantities

Standard notations have to be adequate for the problems to be dealt with and preferably have tobe operational.

In general there is a body b, e. g. ship S or model M, in space s, referred to coordinates c withorigin o, and time t of which the values q of quantities of certain physical qualities Q are ofinterest, i. e.

q = Q (b, s, c, o, t) ,

q is a variable for numerical values of quantities, while Q is a variable for functors constants,quantities of qualities, e. g. of inertia, momentum, or energy.

In many cases the quantities in question are components of vectorial or tensorial quantities; andshould be denoted accordingly, s. 0.3.2.

Further, quite often various aspects of the same quantity are of interest, for example their spectra

Page 15: ITTC Symbols and Terminology List - T-Onlinem-schmiechen.homepage.t-online.de/HomepageClassic01/satl_93.pdf · The 18th ITTC at Kobe adopted the following Recommendations to the Conference

ITTC Symbols 0 Introduction

Version 1993 8

or aspects of those, in simpler cases just their expectation or estimates of these, e. g. time averages,all of them to be carefully distinguished; s. 0.3.3.

It should be evident, that the requirements concerning an adequate, operational notation are quitedemanding. At the same time it should be understood that it is worthwhile to create such anotation, as waste of effort due to confusion of concepts may be reduced drastically.

The question is of course how far one wants to depart from current practice in order to cope withthis situation. The example of the standard notation used in chemistry may serve as a guideline.

In the present context, the typical objects or "elements" referred to are the values of quantities intime or "signals". Consequently the symbols for the signals should be the primary symbol andcomponents and transforms should be denoted by sub- and superscripts, respectively.

0.3.2 Components: Subscripts

In view of vector and tensor components, it is felt that it is appropriate to introduce a simple tensornotation at least for orthogonal coordinates. This helps to limit the number of symbols as it requiresonly one symbol for the particular set of components in question. For example the various, say atleast two times thirty six "stability derivatives", i. e. generalized mass and damping, need not andcannot be introduced individually.

If vector or tensor components, in general matrix components are conveniently denoted bysubscripts, the above situation thus becomes in more general terms

qij = Qij (b, s, c, o, t).

Numerical subscripts are truly operational in most algorithmic languages, which can handlematrices, usually called one-, two-, or three-dimensional arrays.

0.3.3 Operators: Superscripts

Superscripts are traditionally used for exponentiation but can be generally used to denote operators;the most satisfactory approach being the inverse Polish notation.

The advantage of this notation is that no brackets are required and operators are listed exactly inthe sequence in which they are applied to the signal. As has been done with the matrix notationearlier this notation may in future be readily rendered operational in advanced softwareenvironments, object oriented languages in particular.

For convenience the computer symbols and symbols used in data bases should exactly reflect thisnotation in order to avoid any extra problems of translation. Consequently the earlier proposedprefixes in the computer symbols have been changed to suffixes. As an example the real part ofthe heave spectrum may be denoted as follows:

standard computer data base XSR

3 XSR(3) or X_SR(3) or XxSpRe(3) XSR3 or X_SR3 or XxSpRe3

The main problem in any case is to define symbols for operations and not for the results of theoperations. In order to have the most compact notation agreement should be reached concerninga one character notation, and a corresponding two character notation for the computer symbols, forwell defined operations.

Due to the fact that it has not been possible to define symbols for concepts, qualifiers, operatorsetc uniformly in terms of two characters the above example show the presently used techniquesto introduce separators. X and Xx denote symbol variables, to be replaced by symbols proper inany particular application.

If necessary the meaning of a operator symbol may depend on the context, i.e. its position withrespect to others and the object it operates upon. This generic use of symbols is of course veryefficient, but needs special care not to confuse concepts.

It is most important to note that in any case definitions of concepts or operations should not beconfused with operational definitions, i.e. methods for determination or measurement of values.Separate identifiers have to be introduced in order to avoid confusion. A whole hierarchy of suchoperators and qualifiers is necessary.

Some 'operator' symbols are proposed in the following chapter on fundamental concepts. Theyconcern

1. identifiers of the object being tested, e. g. ship S or model M, or the various bodiesin a multi-body problem,

2. identifiers of coordinate systems and of the reference points, not only forward and aftperpendicular,

4. the various aspects of spectra and

5. the various aspects of random quantities and stochastic processes.

So far no particular identifiers have been introduced for various estimators. As an example thepower spectra of stationary random processes may be estimated using Fourier techniques, as agreedupon by the oceanographic institutes world wide, or by autoregressive model techniques, avoidingsystematic i. e. bias errors inherent in the first technique. Another example is the interpretation ofthe conceptual frame-work of hull-propeller interaction based on propulsion, hull resistance, andpropeller open water tests or from the results of propulsion tests alone.

0.4 Details of Notation

0.4.1 Standard Symbols

The symbols in the first column of the tables are primarily intended for use in technical writingand mathematical expressions. The following notes are relevant:

1. All symbols, their subscripts, and superscripts should be written as shown.

2. In a number of instances alternative symbols are given.

3. In many cases the symbols, their sub- and superscripts denote variables to be replacedby symbols for any object, component and qualifier or operator, respectively.

4. Where for one reason or another departures from the standard symbols are made, thesedepartures should be clearly indicated and stated.

0.4.2 Computer Symbols

Wherever possible the symbols in the second column of the tables have been chosen so that theirmeaning is readily apparent. They have been constructed from the CCITT International TelegraphAlphabet, restricted character set. They are therefore suitable for use in a wide range of situationse. g.: Telex messages, letters, computer printouts etc.

To ensure that the symbols can be used in a wide range of programming languages they currentlyhave been kept to less than six characters long. The symbols should be used as defined, and, inaccordance with modern programming practice, should have their type explicitly declared beforeuse. The following rules were applied in the derivation of the symbols:

1. Only upper case letter A - Z and digits 0 - 9 have been used.

2. Formerly Greek letters have been spelled out, if necessary in abbreviated form or withchanged spelling. This practice is considered obsolete.

3. The Froude 'circular' symbols are defined by the prefix CIRC.

4. All symbols start with a letter.

5. Qualifiers and operators, preferably two characters, are currently suffixed to the mainsymbol line, without spacing.

6. No one computer compatible symbol should be used for different concepts in a givencontext. This goal has not been completely achieved for the whole list. Ad hoc solutionshave been attempted but discarded as unsatisfactory.

7. Since the computer compatible symbols have been proposed as the basis of attributenames for data exchanges, the above rules will probably be further developed in the near

future.

A final remark on the Computer Symbols: in the computer, the letter O and figure 0 (zero) havefundamentally different meanings, but owing to their resemblance they can be easily confused.Thus it is necessary to distinguish rigorously between them. As a matter of fact there arecontradictory conventions being widely used.

0.4.3 Names, Definitions, SI-Units

The third column in the tables contains the names of the concepts denoted by the symbols in thefirst and the second columns, while the fourth column usually contains a definition, or a shortexplanation where necessary. The last column gives the SI-Units for the concepts.

The dimensions of dimensionless quantities as well as their units are 1. They are measured incounts or "absolute units", which sometimes are given names, e.g. rad, rev, but this practice, usualin natural languages, is found to be not very useful in formal systems.

A number of concepts and their symbols are customarily defined and/or standardized differentlyin different fields of application. The SaT Group cannot resolve all of these discrepancies, buturges that in such cases the definitions and the units used are stated. Only a few examples havingbeen discussed may be mentioned.

While the SI-Units of angle and velocity are rad and meter/second, respectively, the traditionalunits degree and knot are still widely used and clearly this situation will not change in the nearfuture. In the spectral description of real deterministic or stochastic processes spectra and powerspectra, respectively may be defined as double- or single-sided as functions of frequency or circularfrequency. Any of these difinitions has its particular advantages, but has to be clearly distin-guished from the others.

A major step towards an unambiguous definition of the phase angle has been taken by explicitelydistinguishing phase lead and lag of complex quantities. Despite the fact that both have oppositesigns they are confused even in mathematically oriented standard textbooks!

1.1.1.3 Remarks

.1 Greek Symbols

For traditional reasons the computer symbols of the concepts denoted by Greek ITTC Symbols doin general not refer to the concepts, but rather to the Greek symbol. This state of affairs is morethan unsatisfactory. The SaT Group feels that at the present stage it may be time for a radicalchange.

An example is the efficiency, the universally accepted symbol being the Greek η. The computersymbol should of course be EF, instead of ETA.

Another example is the traditional symbol ω for circular frequency and angular velocity. Clearlythe computer symbols FC and V0, respectively, or similar would be much more reasonable than thetraditional symbols listed.

.2 Velocities, Forces

In the following sections more general concepts are proposed, which permit an even more rationalapproach. Appropriate symbols for the linear and the angular velocity would be v1 and v0 ,respectively, in precisely that order! In terms of the generalized velocity v, the complete motionwith six degrees of freedom, the components of the angular velocity are then uniquely denoted byv0

i = v3+i with i = 1, 2, 3 and 'resulting' in the the computer symbols V0(I) = V(3+I), again withI = 1, 2, 3; s. the following section on space related concepts and the section on rigid body motions.

Concerning the hydrodynamic forces acting on a body due to translatory motion only the rationalcomputer symbols are given. As a matter of fact this type of notation is used more and more invarious applications. The advantages need not to be elaborated upon.

.3 Efficiencies

The concept of efficiency or factor of merit is that of a ratio of powers, preferably powers proper,but sometimes virtual powers are considered as well. The most appropriate notation for efficiencieswould therefore be the following with two indices, namely the identifiers of the two powers put intoproportion, i. e.

ηXY = PX / PY .

This notation together with the computer notation ETXY would of course greatly improve the datahandling as it is truly operational.

.4 Balances

Traditionally balances of various extensive or socalled "conservative" qualities or properties aredescribed by ad hoc symbols, disguising the similarities and essentials. For any quality Q enclosedin a control volume the balance may be written in the format

QS = QF + QP ,

implying, that the net storage of the quality in a given boundary equals the net flux of the qualityacross the boundary into the control volume and the net production of sources within the boundary.

The symbol Q is the variable for the symbol of the particular extensive qualitiy under investigation,e. g. mass, momentum, and energy. QS, QF, and QP are variables for values of the storage, flux, andproduction, respectively.

The net storage is nothing else but the net rate of change of the quantity q of the quality Q storedin the control volume:

QS = dq / dt .

q is the variable for values of the quantity of the quality Q stored in the control volume.

Concerning the flux there are two types to be clearly distinguished according to their mechanisms,the convective and the diffusive fluxes, i. e.

QF = QC + QD .

The diffusive flux itself may be due to two types of diffusion, the molecular diffusion and theturbulent diffusion, i. e.

QD = QT + QM .

Traditionally the time rate of change is denoted by a dot, i. e.

dq / dt = q

According to some standards, e. g. the German DIN, fluxes and the productions may be denoted bysymbols with a dot as well, apparently due to the fact, that they have the same dimension as timerates of change. This usage is misleading and confusing and therefore totally unacceptable.

The concepts of flux and source are fundamental concepts and essentially different, due to the totallydifferent nature of the mechanisms, from the concept of rate of change of the quantity they cause tochange, although they may each, in the absence of the other, be equal in value and balancing the rateof change.

SI-Unit

Much more reasonable is to denote rate of change by an operator symbol as well, e. g. by R, as willbe done in this version of the symbols, and write any balance in the format

qR = QS = QC + QT + QM + QP ,

clearly indicating the four totally different physical mechanisms taking part in the change of anyquantities of extensive qualities.

If instead of the object oriented notation the function oriented notation is being used the balancewould e. g. look like

qR = SQ = CQ + TQ + MQ + PQ .

This is not very practical if the quality under consideration is of tensorial character or of even morecomplex matrix nature. QU is the variable for the SI unit of the quality Q under consideration.

It will become evident from this very elementary exposition that precisely the most fundamentalconcepts are mostly used extremely carelessly. The concepts "variable", "quantity", and "quality" arerarely clearly distinguished as they ought to be.

E. g.: momentum is a quality and a body may have stored a certain quantity of it at a given time.M and MO are variables for vectors of numerical values of the quantity measured in Ns. t and TIare variables for values of the quantity of the quality time measured in s .

1.1.2.2 Remarks

.1 Notation

The symbols s, S, T, u, v, V denote variables to be replaced by the symbols of the specificquantities under consideration in any particular application. The range of the operational indices i, j, k is from 1 to 3, while for the generalized concepts theoperational indices u, v, w range from 1 to 6.

.2 Coordinate systems

Orientation of cordinates

A problem of general interest, the orientation of the axes of coordinate systems, has been treatedextensively in the Report of the 17th ITTC Information Committee. For ready reference therecommendation is quoted in the following.

"In order to adapt ITTC nomenclature to common practice a proposal for a standard coordinatesystem was published in the newsletter No 7, March 1983, to generate discussion. The response wasquite diverse. On the one hand it was suggested that instead of the two orthogonal right handedsystems with the positive x-axis forward and the positive z-axis either up- or downward as proposedonly one system should be selected, in particular the one with the positve z-axis upwards. On theother hand the attention of the Information Committee was drawn to the fact that in ship flowcalculations neither of the two systems proposed is customary. Normally the x-axis is directed inthe main flow direction, i.e. backwards, the y-axis is taken positive to starboard and the z-axis ispositive upwards. The origin of the co-ordinates in this case is usually in the undisturbed freesurface half way between fore and aft perpendicular.

In view of this state of affairs the Information Committee may offer the following recommendation,if any:

Axes, coordinates

Preferably, orthogonal right handed systems of Cartesian co-ordinates should be used, orientationand origin in any particular case should be chosen for convenience.

Body axes (x,y,z)

Coordinate systems fixed in bodies or ships.

For the definition of hull forms, for structural deflections, and exciting forces usually the x-axispositive forward and parallel to the reference or base line used to describe the body's shape, the y-

axis positve to port, and the z-axis positive upwards.

For seakeeping and manoeuvring problems usually the x-axis as before the y-axis positive tostarboard, and the z-axis positive downwards, the origin customarily at the centre of mass of thevehicle or at a geometrically defined position.

For ship flow calculations usually the x-axis positive in the main flow direction, i.e. backwards, they-axis positive to starboard,and the z-axis positive upwards, the origin customarily at theintersection of the plane of the undisturbed free-surface, the centre plane, and the midship section.

Fixed or space axes (x0,y0,z0)

Coordinate systems fixed in relation to the earth or the water. For further references see ISOStandard 1151/1 ...6: Terms and symbols for flight dynamics.

The Information Committee is aware that there may be other coordinate systems in use and seesno possibility for the adoption of a single system for all purposes. Any problem requires anadequate coordinate system and transformations between systems are simple, provided thatorientations and origins are completely and correctly documented for any particular case."

Origins of coordinates

In seakeeping and manoeuvring problems customarily the centre of mass of the vehicle is chosenas the origin of the coordinates. This is in most cases not necessarily advantageous, as all thehydrodynamic properties entering the problems are related rather to the geometries of the bodiesunder investigation. So any geometrically defined point may be more adequate for the purposes athand.

.3 Generalized vector or 6-D notation

Most mechanical problems related to bodies moving in three dimensional space are six dimensionaldue to the six degrees of freedom involved. Consequently it is extremely convenient to have anappropriate notation available. Historically a symbolic 'motor' notation has been proposed andsuccessfully used by Richard von Mises (1924). Much later the operational notation ready forcomputer applications adopted here has been independently developed (Schmiechen, 1962) and usedfor the efficient solution of complex problems, including the motions of robots in flows(Schmiechen, 1989) .

The basic idea is to combine the two vectorial balances for the translational momentum and therotational momentum, respectively, into only one 6-D balance of the generalized momentum, andconsequently to deal with generalized forces, i. e. loads, generalized velocities, i. e. motions,generalized masses, i. e. inertia, etc. The generalized vectors, i. e. von Mises' motors, and the

generalized tensors are simple matrices of vectors and tensors, respectively. As ordinary vectors andtensors their genralized counterparts obey certain transformation rules related to changes in theorientations and the origins of the coordinate systems.

The introduction of this notation at this very early stage is of course in line with the object orientedapproach adopted and permitting an extremely efficient notation not only for the motions of bodiesin general but the seakeeping and manouvring of ships, the notation for which was so far in a quiteunacceptable state.

1.1.3.4 Remarks

.1 Fourier transforms and spectra

The notation proposed has proved to be adequate for "real" problems at hand, these notes givingsome useful background information in the most concise form.

The complex "values" may be quantities of any "complexity", e.g. tensors, matrices, and tensors ofmatrices as e.g. encountered in 6-D parameter identification.

The uniform use of the "natural" frequency instead of artifical circular frequency has the advantagethat no factors are occuring in the Fourier transform pair.

.2 Group properties

The Fourier and Hilbert transforms are the unit elements of cyclic groups with the followingproperties:

X(t)F = XF(f), XF(f)F = X(-t), X(-t)F = XF(-f), XF(-f)F = X(t)

X(t)H = XH(t), XH(t)H = -X(t), -X(t)H = -XH(t), -XH(t)H = X(t) .

Consequently among others the following fundamental relations hold:

F4 = H4 = 1.

.3 Fourier series

Due to the fact that in most cases only real functions and single-sided spectra are used the usualformat of the Fourier series is

X(t) = real(∑xSj exp(i2πjt/TC) = ∑ xSc

j cos(2πjt/TC) + ∑ xSsj sin(2πjt/TC)

The reason for this step is that the spectra are in fact Fourier transforms not of the real functionbeing studied but of the corresponding analytic function.

For ready reference the following formulae are given

xS j = xF

j (1 + sgn j)

xFc = 1/TC ∫X(t) cos(2πjt/TC)dt

xFs = 1/TC ∫X(t) sin(2πjt/TC)dt

where the integration has to be extended over the cycle TC .

.4 Causal functions

Causal functions, defined by

X(t<0) = 0,

are conveniently expressed as

X(t) = Xe(t)(1 + sgn t)

with the even function

Xe(t) = (X(t) + X(-T))/2.

Noting the property

XeF = XFr

the Fourier transform

XF = XeF - iXeFH

leads to the relations

XFi = -XFrH, i.e. XFiF(t) = -XFrF(t)(-i sgn t)

and, taking advantage of the group properties,

XFr = +XFiH, i.e. XFrF(t) = +XFiF(t)(-i sgn t).

These relationships are known under various names and guises, the derivations sometimes obscuredby irrelevant or misleading arguments., the worst being hydrodynamic.

.5 Minimal phase functions

From the format

XF = XFaexp(iXFp)

the logarithm

ln(XF) = ln(XFa) + iXFp

is derived and it can be proved that the relations

XFp = - (ln(XFa))H, i.e. XFpF(t) = - (ln(XFa))F(t)(-i sgn t)

and

ln(XFa) = +XFpH, i.e. (ln(XFa))F(t) = +XFpF(t)(-i sgn t)

hold for phase minimal functions; s.e.g. Papoulis, A.: The Fourier Integral and Its Applications.New York: McGraw-Hill, 1964.

.6 Spectral estimates

While for periodic functions the estimation of Fourier transforms, spectra, etc. can be efficientlyperformed by fast Fourier algorithms (FFA) the same is not true in general. Due to neccessarytruncation FFT will in general produce results with systematic errors. These are a consequence ofthe implied periodic repetition, which in most cases is simply inadequate.

In these cases only autoregressive model techniques lead to unbiased estimates of the transforms.The reason is that these models provide proper harmonic descriptions of the truncated record; s.e.g.Childers, D.G.: Modern spectrum analysis. New York: IEEE Press, 1978.

In any case the algorithm used has to be clearly identified, possibly by reference to a fulldescription or, ideally and unambiguously, a subroutine. At this stage it appears premature to tryand introduce standard symbols for various standard procedures.

So far standard procedures not been agreed upon by the ITTC community, but in the near futureit will be necessary to do so in order to arrive at comparable results. Agreement should not bereached by "vote", as has been tried by Ocean Engineeering Committee. The standard adopted bythe hydrographic institutes for the estimation of power spectra is in general quite disputable as well.

1.1.4.4 Remarks

.1 Concepts

An adequate introduction into the conceptual world of "Probability, Random Variables (Quantities!),and Stochastic Processes" is provided by A. Papoulis in his book with that same title.

.2 Estimates

Apart of the fundamental theory of probability with its concepts outlined here, in practice thetheory of statistics is necessary, providing for the estimation of probabilities and or their parameters,e.g. expected values. In any case these estimates are at best free of bias, but they are randomvariables themselves and as such clearly distinct from the quantities for which they are estimates.

In the solution of real problems it is absolutely mandatory to account for this distinction. As themost important quantities of this type the sample mean and the sample variance have beenintroduced. It is important to note that as a matter of fact the terminology is still not standardized.The foregoing symbols and terminology are proposed in an attempt to provide tools for the tasksat hand in sytems identification and in quality assurance.

.3 Sample Variance

It should be noted that in contrast to the practice elsewhere the sample variance is not defined asaverage of the squared sample deviations from the sample average. This provides for an unbiasedestimate of the variance and the standard deviation right away. In some text books and somesoftware packages the definition of the sample variance is different from the one proposed here. Socare is necessary if unbiased estimates for small samples are being determined.

The operational indices i, j, k range from 1 to 3, the indices u, v ,w of the generalized tensors from1 to 6.

Refer to 1.1.2 Space Related Concepts for definition of generalized concepts.

.2 Reference Points

In any particular case the orientation and the origin of the coordinate system have to be specified andindicated, if necessary. If the coordinate system coincides with the principal axes system thegeneralized tensor has only components in the main diagonal, the first order moments as well as thereal moments of inertia are vanishing.

While this aspect may be of interest in cases, where the translational and rotational motions may beconsidered as uncoupled, as in the case of gravitational forces acting alone acting on a solid body,or for qualitative considerations, where this condition holds at least approximately, it is not at allimportant for computational purposes. Quite to the contrary it requires the extra, in generalunnecessary operation of transformation to the principal axes of the inertia tensor. Due to thehydrodynamic forces the translational and the rotational motions can in general not be consideredfrom each other in the ordinary way just by construction of a special reference point.

For the fundamental balance of quantities of extensive qualities see Section 1.1.1 on FundamentalConcepts and the Remarks on Balances. For definition of the generalized concepts see Section1.1.2 on Space Related Concepts.

According to the fundamental balance of extensive quantities applied to momentum two differenttypes of 'external' forces have to be distinguished, namely the momentum flux across theboundaries, in the case of solid bodies by molocular diffusion only, i. e. stresses, the socalledsurface forces, and the momentum sources in the volumes of the bodies, the socalled volume forces.In the usual applications the weight is the only momentum source, while all other forces acting ona body, distributed over the surface or concentrated, may be considered as surface forces.

.3 Sectional Loads

Sectional loads are surface loads, i. e. moments of stresses due to molecular momentum fluxesacross the section. Sectional loads are only meaningful relative to the coordinates of the section,on which they act. If the components are referred to body coordinates as usual, this implies sectionsnormal to the longitudinal axis. The former terminology referring to horizontal and vertical shearforces and bending moments is to be considered obsolete even in this context. Lateral and normalare the appropriate names in the context of body coordinates.

.1 Operational Indices

The operational vector and tensor indices i, j, k range from 1 to 3, the corresponding indices u, v, w for their generalized counterparts range from 1 to 6.

.2 Angular Velocities

The operational ("exponential") notation for the linear and angular velocities reflects the fact thatthe angular velocity of a rigid body is independent of the reference point, while the linear velocitychanges with the change of reference point.

.3 Time Rates of Change

The computer symbols for the time derivatives have been either DXDT or XDOT, both being veryunsatisfactory. The notation proprosed is XRT etc for "x rate", in full "x time rate of change". See1.1.1.3 on Balances.

.4 Angles

The proposed computer symbols for the various angles are an attempt to get away from the oldcryptic notation. The Euler angles roll, pitch, and yaw are evidently to be considered as the naturalextension of the position vector to the generalized position vector. It has of course to noted thatcontrary to the translatory motion the rotational motion can not directly integrated to obtain theattitudes in question.

Further, if extreme motions are to be considered the Euler angles may be not adequate forcomputational purposes, e. g. in numerical simulations, as the corresponding matrix of the directionscosines can become singular. This problem can be avoided if Euler parameters (quaternions) areemployed.

1.3.1.4 Remarks

.1 Flow parameters

The ITTC notation for the flow parameters is not in accordance with that of Physics in general andsomewhat redundant, but the SaT Group feels that the usage is so established now that there is nochance for a change.

The flow parameters are the normalised fluid properties, although mostly not written in that way.E. g. the inverse of the Reynolds number is the normalized viscosity

µn = µ / (ρ U L ) = 1 / Rn ,

with the reference quantities ρ, U and L for steady motion problems. For other problems otherreference quantities may be more appropriate.

The Cauchy number is not identical with the Mach number. The modulus of elasticity entering is notthat of the fluid but that of an elastic structure in the flow.

The search for "characteristic" reference quantities is a matter of physical argument or the evaluationof experiments, i. e. is a matter either of previous knowledge or a cura posterior. Dimensionalanalysis does not provide any apriory arguments!

The usage of scale factor in model testing relates full scale and model scale. A scale factor inabsolute physical terms would be the normalized length

Ln = (Rn / Fn)2/3 = L g1/3 / ν2/3 .

.2 Sand roughness

Although still widely used to characterize the roughness of a surface it is now well understood that

sand roughness and the resulting roughness resistance are not typical for technical surfaces, ships'surfaces in particular.

So far no sound correlation between the surface description and the additional resistance has beenestablished.

1.3.2.3 Remarks

.1 Equation of Motion

The universal equation of motion for any continuum in space is the balance of mass specificmomentum vi , the Cauchy equation, in Cartesian coordinates,

ρ dt vi =ρ (∂t +vj ∂j) vi =ρ (∂t vi +vj ∂j vi) = ∂j sji + ρ fi ,

which can be derived if the balance of mass density ρ , the equation of continuity

dt ρ = (∂t + vj ∂j) ρ = ∂t ρ + vj ∂j ρ = - ρ ∂j vj

is taken into account.

The notation used for differentiation is evidently

dt = d / dt ,∂t = ∂ / ∂t ,∂i = ∂ / ∂xi .

Further Einstein's summing convention is conveniently implied:

xi yi = Σi xi yi , i = 1, 2, 3 .

In hydrodynamics incompressibility is a further adequate idealisation and consequently the universalequations reduce to the two equations

ρ dt vi = ρ (∂t vi + vj ∂j vi) = ∂j sji + ρ fi ,

∂j vj = 0 .

In addition the balance of moments requires that the stress tensor is symmetric

sji = sij ,

(Boltzmann's axiom). The stress consists of three constituents: the pressure term, the stress proper,and the Reynolds stress:

sji = - p δji +sVij +ρ vjvi

CR .

The first two terms represent the molecular diffusion of momentum, the last term the turbulentdiffusion.

.2 Constitutive Laws

Only at this stage the individual properties of fluids have to be introduced through constitutive laws,i. e. the laws for the stress tensor s. Newtonian fluids, i. e. incompressible linear viscous fluids, aredefined by the law

sVij = µ ∂i vj

S = µ (∂i vj + ∂j vi) / 2 .

Introducing the stress terms with the constitutive law into the universal Cauchy's equation results inthe "Reynolds averaged" Navier-Stokes equation (RANSE) in its kinematic form

dt vi = ∂tvi + vj ∂j vi = - ∂i p/ρ + ν ∂j ∂j vi + ∂j vjviCR + gi .

Apart of the equation of continuity the closure of the problem requires further "constitutive"equations for the turbulent Reynolds stresses, the socalled turbulence models and, even worse,boundary conditions including details of the surface structure, i. e. roughness.

A very popular turbulence model is the k-ε model, with two balances for the density of the turbulentenergy k and its dissipation ε , respectively. There are fundamental investigations under way toconstruct more advanced models in accordance with the rational theory of constitutive laws.

1.4.1.6 Remarks

.1 General

This section is of course in many ways related to the Sections 1.1.3 Time Related Concepts and1.1.4 Random Quantities and Stochastic Processes. In terms of the object oriented paradigma onlythe time function, the wave elevation at a given location, denoted by η and EW, respectively, hasto be introduced and the operations defined earlier along with the corresponding notation may beapplied without modification and repetition.

.2 Periodic waves

The basic concepts on waves are derived from the model of periodic, not necessarily harmonicwaves, but which may be considered as composed of harmonic components. Even periodic wavesmay be considered as samples of stochastic processes. In this case the wave parameters arerandom quantities with given joint probability functions. In practice only samples of suchprocesses will be available and consequently only random sample estimates of the parameters canbe obtained.

.3 Irregular waves

In the section on non-priodic waves only random quantities have been introduced as e. g. thecrest height, to which all the probabilty concepts and parameters can be applied as defined earlierin Section 1.1.4., e. g. the population mean and variance of the crest height. If waves are not periodic any individual infinite record may be considered as a random sample ofstationary stochastic process, which is usually assumed to be ergodic, thus permitting to replacepopulation means by appropriate time means. In future ergodicity may be required to be checkedat least for research and quality assurance purposes.

.4 Finite records

In practice only records of finite duration are available of the hypothetical stochastic processes forthe estimation of the population parameters. This should be reflected in the symbols andterminology, e. g. in the case of the wave crest only the random sample mean ηC

A (ECMS) maybe determined. And as long as in most cases no agreement has been reached on the optimumestimators to be used the symbols and terminology should even indicate the special estimatorsused in order to avoid confusion.

.5 Sampled values

Usually not even finite records are available for the estimation of spectra etc, but only finite setsof sampled values, namely ηi or EW(I).

2.1.1.4 Remarks

.1 Bulbous Bows

Below the load water line the stem contour sometimes recedes aft of the fore perpendicular beforeprojecting forward to define the outline of the ram or the fore end of the bulb. In such instances thisarea should be calculated using as datum the aftermost vertical tangent to the contour instead of thefore perpendicular.

.2 Reference Quantities

The prismatic coefficient should generally be based upon maximum section area rather than onmidsection area, as in the 1960 Committee Report, but it should be clearly stated which area has beenused. Whatever ship length considered appropriate may be used for this end and another coefficient,but this length should be clearly indicated and stated.

2.2.2.4 Remarks

.1 Basic Concepts

Traditionally the basic concepts resistance and propeller advance speed are implicitely understoodto have certain traditional operational, i. e. experimental interpretations, namely in terms of hulltowing and propeller open water tests, respectively. Very clearly these are not the only possibleinterpretations. In many cases, where the traditional interpretations are not possible, as in the caseof full scale ships under service conditions, or where they are not meaningful, as e. g. in the case ofwake adapted propellers, more adequate conventional interpretations have to be agreed upon.

The traditional set of basic concepts for the ship performance analysis is incomplete. It does e. g. notallow for the separation of displacement and energy wakes, fundamental for the analysis of hull-propeller interaction.

It has become bad practice to write

In the earlier versions of this list the notation for the concept of section advance speed deterioratedto the completely meaningless form

hiding the very simple meaning of the concept.

The whole Chapter 2.3 on Manoeuvring and Seakeeping relies heavily on the Section 1 on GeneralMechanics, Chapter 1.2 on Solid Body Mechanics in particular. Members of the ManoeuvringCommittee are strongly urged to try and finalize the work that has been started for them.

.2 Derivatives

The traditional notation for the "stability" derivatives is not very efficient and not in accordance withthe notation outlined in Section 1 on General Mechanics. Instead of completely denoting the conceptsof generalized hydrodynamic damping and inertia, respectively, by adequate symbols, the traditionalsymbols indicate some measuring procedures for the components.

.1 Related Information

Related information is to be found in Chapter 1 on General Mechanics, in Sections 1.1.3 on TimeRelated Concepts, 1.1.4 on Stochastic Processes, 1.2 on Solid Body Mechanics, and 1.4.1 onWaves.

Evidently this whole chapter has not reached a final state in any sense. Therefore the Seakeepingand Ocean Engineering Committees are strongly urged to come up with a detailed draft forconsideration by the SaT Group and inclusion into a future version of the SaT List.

.2 Sectional Loads

Sectional loads are meaningful only referred to body fixed coordinates. The traditionalterminology speaking of horizontal and vertical forces and moments, referring to space fixedcoordinates, is adequate only for very special conditions of little interest for the sectional loadsand should consequently be avoided as obsolete.
