Abstract

For providing a benchmark data for numerical codes for parametric roll prediction, a model experiment of a post-Panamax C11 class containership whose hull form is slightly modified from its original but opened for public was conducted and significant parametric rolling in irregular head waves was recorded. A 3DOF (degrees of freedom) numerical model based on the nonlinear strip theory is developed. The numerical code for time domain simulations is developed for the prediction of large amplitude of parametric roll both in regular and irregular head waves. Comparisons between the model experiment and the numerical simulations show good agreement under the consideration of dispersion due to practical non-ergodicity . By utilizing the developed numerical model, it was demonstrated that small height of the bilge keels is a major reason why significant parametric roll could happen for a C11 class post-Panamax containership in 1998.
