MIT2 700F14 Project 4 PDF

This document provides instructions for Project #4 on ship general stability for a course at MIT. Students are asked to analyze the effects of adding 150,000 gallons of fuel oil to an empty tank on their baseline ship design from Project #1. This includes calculating: 1) the new displacement, draft, and KG after the weight addition; 2) the effective GM accounting for free surface correction; and 3) the new list angle of the ship. Students also need to plot the initial and final static stability curves, showing the corrections for weight addition, KG, GM, and free surface effect, and annotate the changes in stability metrics.

PROJECT #4: SHIP GENERAL STABILITY

Date Issued: October 10, 2014


Date Due: October 20, 2014

References: Gillmer and Johnson Chapter 6

1. Introduction/background:

Once the initial stability analysis is complete, the movement or addition of weights affects KG,
GZ and overall general stability. For a weight addition, the new GM and the list angle can be
calculated from the equations given in lecture.

In the case of tanks aboard a ship, there is an additional adverse effect on stability known as
“free surface effect.” This is caused by the shift in center of gravity of the liquid as the ship
heels. The correction to GM (known as free surface correction, FSC) for a rectangular tank and a
wall-sided ship heeling is:

!"# 𝛾!    is  the  specific  gravity  of  the  tank  of  liquid  
𝛾! 𝑖 𝛾!   is  the  specific  gravity  of  seawater  
!!!! !!!!! − ! ! sin 𝜙  
𝐺𝑍 = !𝐺𝑀
𝛾! ∇! i     is  the  2nd  moment  of  area  (transverse)  of  the  liquid  surface  
!!!!!!!!! ∇!  is  the  underwater  volume  of  the  ship  
!!!!!
!" !"" φ   is  the  heel  angle  
 
 

2. Assignment:

For general stability, analyze the weight addition and free surface effect of your baseline ship
from Project #1.

3. Procedure / Deliverables

3-1: Starting at zero list and trim, add 150,000 gals of fuel oil load into a tank that was
previously empty on your baseline ship in Project #1 with the following parameters.

Tank width (b) = 25 ft Tank height (h)= 10 ft


Tank length (l) = 160 ft Tank LCG = LCB
Tank TCG = +12.5 ft (stbd) Tank KG = 7.5 ft
Tank partially full γl = 0.89
ρfw = 8.34 lbs/gal γs = 1.025

D-1: Stability calculations following the weight addition (assume no pocketing):


1. Final displacement
2. New draft
3. New KG
4. Effective GM accounting for FSC
5. List of the ship as a result of the fuel load

D-2: A plot of the initial static stability curve and the corrections for the weight addition.
1. Plot the righting arm (GZ0 curve) for your baseline ship using the Intact Static
Stability Report from ASSET. Add an extra point to estimate where the righting arm
curve crosses zero (~95 degrees). Fit a curve through the points.
2. Plot the sine curve correction for Kg for each data point and fit a curve.
3. Plot the cosine curve correction for gG for each data point and fit a curve.
4. Plot the FSC curve with the assumption that pocketing does not occur and fit a curve.
5. Plot the final static stability curve.
6. Annotate the changes in GM, range of stability, and GZmax between the initial static
stability curve and the final. Also annotate graphically the final list angle – does this
agree with your calculations on Deliverable 1?
