Abstract

One of the aims of the Colombian Ministry of Defense in the field of science and technology is to develop and build in-house simulators for training. Aligned with this objective, the Science & Technology Corporation for the Development of the Shipbuilding Industry in Colombia – COTECMAR has established a research program in the development of physics-based models to predict the generalized forces acting on maneuvering ships. Thus, a mathematical model for the prediction of the dynamic behavior of ships has been formulated. In order to get an analytical method and to minimize computational time, the hydrodynamic forces for this model are derived from slender-body theory (SBT) and finally a generalized formulation is achieved. In the present work, the description of the modular form of the model together with comparisons between the present results and reference data are presented for the case of displacement ships, submarines and planing hulls.
