Piastów 41, e-mail: [email protected] Key words: bulk carrier, approximate method of wind action, approximation of surface and resistance Abstract While a ship is sailing, wind is acting upon the ship hull above water. As a result, additional resistance, as well as transfer drift force and drift moment emerge. The article presents an approximate method of calculating these forces for bulk carriers, in the form useful at preliminary ship design, when only basis ship dimensions are known. Introduction Wind action on a sailing vessel While a transport vessel sails on a given shipping route in real life conditions, its service speed is affected by numerous factors, wind action among others. If the wind is acting upon a vessel from bow sectors, then additional resistance, as well as transfer drift force, as well as a drift moment appear (in order to keep the vessel on a present shipping route, this moment has to be counterbalanced by a rudder plane and resulting carrying helm. Knowledge of wind action on a vessel is important not only in anticipating its speed, but also its steering. There are various method of calculation of wind action on the ship part above water, available in the literature on the subject matter, most often, however, they require the knowledge of aerodynamic resistance coefficients, which depend – among others – the shape of the ship part above water including superstructures. During preliminary ship design, when the shape of the ship part above water is not known yet, models based on basic geometrical ship hull parameters are highly useful. The article presents an approximate method of calculating wind action forces on a sailing vessel (bulk carrier) useful at preliminary ship design. Mean wind action forces on a sailing ship can be calculated from the formulas: 1 2 R xA A S xVRA C Ax RA 2 1 2 (1) R yA A S yVRA C Ay RA 2 1 2 M zA A S y LV RA C Am RA 2 where: ρA air density; Sx, Sy projections of vessel surface above water (from bow and lateral respectively) onto midship plane and plane of symmetry; L ship length; VRA relative wind speed (Fig. 1); CAx, CAy, CAm(βRA) aerodynamic resistance coefficients of the ship part above water, dependent on relative wind direction (βRA); βRA relative wind direction (Fig. 1). Zeszyty Naukowe 38(110) 2 2 VRA VRAx VRAy VRAx VA cos A V VRAy VA sin A 131 (2) (3) Katarzyna Żelazny A A 180 The coefficients CAx, CAy and CAm are mostly determined during the model tests [1] above-water part of the ship in the aerodynamic tunnel or can be calculated from the approximate formulas [2, 3]. These coefficients for a specific type of a ship, e.g. bulk carriers, depend on a ship size to a small degree. Coefficients CAx, CAy and CAm measured in aerodynamic tunnel for a bulk carrier [1] have been approximated by a polynomial dependent only on relative wind direction βRA, (Fig. 1). Obtained relationships have the following form: (4) βA wind action against the vessel (βA = 0 wind from the stern, βA = 90 wind at the bow); RA arctan VRAy (5) VRAx VA wind speed; γA geographical wind direction, (γA = 0 – north wind, γA = 90 – east wind); V ship speed; ψ geographical course of a ship. In equations (1) drift angle β of a ship has been neglected, since it will only have small value and influence the relative wind direction βRA and hence wind action only to a minimal degree. Force RxA, in equations (1), is an additional resistance resulting from wind action, while moment MzA can cause drift and change in a vessel course, to counterbalance which steering devices have to be used.

On these graphs, points mark the value of forces and moment calculated according to equation (1) on the basis of measurements in aerodynamic tunnel [1], as well as measured surfaces, while a solid line represents the values for a chosen approximation (7) for different wind speeds and directions. Additional resistance from wind action RxA in total ship resistance constitute around 30% [4] depending on the ship size and wind speed on head wave. Taking this into account, it can be concluded, that the obtained exactness of approximation is on the sufficient level to determine wind action on the ship required at preliminary ship design.
