Impact of Waves on Dangerous Stability of Vessels on the Oceanic Route

Abstract

Stability is one of the most important properties of the ship. The greatest influence on stability and thus on the possibility of loss of stability have the rolling of the ship on the wave. Mathematical models describing rolling on wave are complicated, and their solution, especially in the irregular wave, is only possible with numerical methods in the time domain. Large rolling, until the ship capsize, formation not only on the beam wave, but also on the following wave. Various models describing rolling (linear and nonlinear, regular and irregular wave, and constant or variable restoring moment) are presented. The predicted level hazard of stability of the ship depends on the direction of the wave and the cases where the level of hazard will be greatest.
