Output Data

The output is given in tabular and graphical format and are presented in non-dimensional form, which allows you to compare the results with other available data.

The stopping manoeuvre results are given in tabular form only.

The turning circle manoeuvre results are presented as two graphs. One is the turning trajectories and the other is the turning characteristics. A summary of the turning circle data is given at 90, 180, 270 and 360 degrees change of heading.

The zig-zag manoeuvre results are given in time history curves and represents the rudder movement, change of heading, lateral movement of the ship and the speed drop during the manoeuvre. The overshoot angle, overswing angle, period, initial turning time, time to check yaw, lag time and overshoot width of the path/ship length are given in tabular form.

The reverse spiral manoeuvre results are presented in dimensional and non-dimensional graphical forms as well as in tables.
