Abstract
The maneuvering of two interacting ships in calm
water at Froude numbers less than ~0.2 and in water
of infinite horizontal extent is studied based on an
extended version of the maneuvering model for two
ships by Skejic (2008). The time-varying interacting
forces/moments and maneuvering hydrodynamic
derivatives are obtained via a new method assuming
3D potential flow with a rigid-free-surface condition
around non-lifting bodies. The two bodies can have any
relative positions and move with any velocities in the
horizontal plane. The method is verified and validated.
The model is applied to an overtaking maneuver that
was studied by Skejic (2008) documenting that it
matters with the improved hydrodynamic interaction
model.

Introduction
Maneuvering of two ships is important for both civic
and naval applications. Transfer of cargos or oil at
sea, offshore operations, underway replenishment of
naval fleets and canal transportation all involve such
maneuver. Previous study on this problem can be
found in, for example, Alvestad and Brown (1975),
Yasukawa (2003), Skejic (2008), Skejic and Faltinsen
(2008) and Skejic et al. (2009). The hydrodynamic

the 3D BEM results from the commercial software
VSAERO (AMI) (Wang, 2007) in Fig. 3. The nondimensional transverse force
on body 1 is presented as function of non-dimensional
transverse distance p / R1 between the two body
axes. The figure shows that the present BEM result
agrees well with the VSAERO (AMI) result. There
is satisfactory agreement with the far-field and nearfield results when p / R1 is larger than 6 and less than
3, respectively.

In the second case we study the same two axissymmetric bodies as defined above. However, we let
body 1 be stationary (moored) and let body 2 advance

Concluding remarks
The maneuvering of two interacting ships in calm
water at Froude numbers less than 0.2 is studied
based on an extended version of the maneuvering
model for two ships by Skejic (2008). The timevarying interaction forces/moments and maneuvering
hydrodynamic derivatives are obtained via a new
method assuming 3D potential flow with rigid-freesurface condition around non-lifting bodies. The two
bodies can have any relative positions and move with
any velocities in the horizontal plane. It implies, for
instance, that the method can be used up to the time of
collision between two ships. The method is verified and
validated for infinite fluid as well as water of infinite
depth and infinite horizontal extent. The limitation of
the far-field method by Tuck and Newman (1974) for
two ships advancing with parallel courses with regard
to separation distance between the ships is discussed.
The proposed method is applicable for finite depth
and can be generalized to more than two bodies and
include channel effects.
Predictions of propulsion forces, rudder loads,
viscous and lifting hull loads as well as the effect
of an autopilot are implemented in order to make
realistic maneuvering simulations. The maneuvering
model is applied to an overtaking maneuver studied
by Skejic (2008) showing that it matters to use the
more complete interaction model instead of the farfield method by Tuck and Newman (1974).
How to include the effect of sea waves in terms of
mean and slowly varying yaw moments and horizontal
forces needs further studies. Practical simulations
need also to account for wind and current.
