An investigation was conducted to determine whether the changes in the maneuvering forces and moments acting on a hull could be affected by changing the vertical center of gravity (VCG) of a tanker. The changes in the hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on a hull according to the restraint conditions of motion were examined using CFD for cases where the VCG was located at the design draught (100% of draught), under the design draught (75% of draught), and at half of the design draught (50% of draught). The following motion restraint conditions were selected: (1) fixed restraints for everything; (2) heave, pitch, and roll free restraint; and (3) heave and pitch free restraints. It was found that restraint condition (2) had the best agreement with the model experiment results. In addition, it was found that the hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on the hull with restraint condition (2) could be greatly affected in the model tests and CFD calculations by the various configurations for the vertical center of gravity of the hull. Finally, it was concluded that the location of the vertical center of gravity of the hull could be an important factor when more accurate hydrodynamic maneuvering forces and moment are estimated.

컨테이너 시큐어링 시스템은 컨테이너 운반선 상갑판에 적재되는 컨테이너의 배치 설계를 위한 시스템이다. 컨테이너의 배치는 각 선급의 가이드라인에 기초하여 설계되어지며, 주어진 배치에 따른 반력들과 변력의 한계값을 제공하고 있다. 컨테이너 설계를 위해서는 컨테이너 구속 교량(lashing bridge)과 수직 구속 장치(vertical lashing) 등을 고려해야 하며, 최대 수직 중량 중심(vertical center of gravity, VCG)과 최대 화물 중량(stack weight)을 갖는 배치안을 제시할 수 있어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 이를 위한 평형방정식을 정립하였으며, 배치안 계산을 위해 등식 제한조건(equality constraint)을 처리할 수 있는 최적화 알고리즘을 적용하여 새로운 컨테이너 시큐어링 시스템을 개발하였다. 개발된 시스템은 컨테이너 배치 설계 시간을 크게 줄여주며, 설계자가 원하는 배치 설계안을 제시해 준다.

The vertical center of gravity (VCG) has a significant impact on the roll motion response of a surface ship, particularly oil tankers based on the oil level in the tanker after discharging oil at several stations or positional changes, such as changes in the superstructure and deck structure. This study examined the motion response of the Korea very large crude carrier 2 (KVLCC2) at various VCGs, especially roll motion when the VCG changed. The potential theory in the Ansys AQWA program was used as a numerical simulation method to calculate the motion response. On the other hand, the calculations obtained through potential theory overestimated the roll amplitudes during resonance and lacked precision. Therefore, roll damping is a necessary parameter that accounts for the viscosity effect by performing an experimental roll decay. The roll decay test estimated the roll damping coefficients for various VCGs using Froude's method. The motion response of the ship in regular waves was evaluated for various VCGs using the estimated roll-damping coefficients. In addition, the reliability of the numerical simulation in motion response was verified with those of the experiment method reported elsewhere. The simulation results showed that the responses of the surge, sway, heave, pitch, and yaw motion were not affected by changing the VCG, but the natural frequency and magnitude of the peak value of the roll motion response varied with the VCG.
