A Time-Domain Numerical Study of Passive and Active Anti-Roll Tanks to Reduce Ship Motions

Time-domain simulations were performed to investigate the influence of passive and active anti-roll tanks and moving weights on ship motions. A point mass moving across the ship was used to model the non-linear effects of the tank systems in various computer simulation environments. PID contro...
