    Interaction: Bow, A Negative Pressure Near To Amidships and Another, But Not

    Uploaded by

    Interaction effects between ships arise from interference between their pressure fields. When ships meet head-on in a narrow channel, they should reduce speed to 1.5 nm apart and both break to starboard to counter the repelling forces from positive pressures at their bows. As a small vessel overtakes a larger one, it must counter shear forces at different positions - it will sheer away initially, then sheer inwards as it reaches amidships, then sheer outwards again as it reaches the bow. Passing lines requires the ships to be almost stopped to prevent the small vessel from sheering across due to pressure effects.

    INTERACTION

    Interaction effects between ships arise from changes in and


    interference between the pressure fields which surround the
    ships when underway.

    The pressure field pattern around a large ship with headway is


    shown.
    STERN BOW
    WAVE WAVE

    A high positive pressure (greater than static pressure) is near the


    bow, a negative pressure near to amidships and another, but not
    so high, positive pressure at the stern.

    Consider the following situations.

    Interaction (MAR) 1
    Head on encounter in a narrow channel
    Reduce speed to what is necessary to maintain steerage at about
    1.5 nm apart.

    When 0.75-0.5 nm apart both vessels to break to starboard

    As both ships meet positive pressure at the bows will cause


    them to repel each other. Use port helm to balance interaction
    effect. Increase speed if necessary to improve rudder effect.

    As ships pass reduced pressure amidships will draw them


    together, this is countered by starboard helm.

    Interaction (MAR) 2
    As the sterns become adjacent the lesser positive pressures will
    cause repelling forces, causing the bow to swing to port which
    may be countered by starboard helm.

    As the ships clear each other both should end up near mid-
    channel.

    Interaction (MAR) 3
    Small vessel overtaking a larger one
    Consider the following situation where a small vessel, such as a
    tug, is overtaking a larger vessel. Such a situation might arise
    when passing a tow rope to the tug.

    1 2 3 4

    Position 1
    The tug will tend to sheer away from the larger one, port helm
    necessary to counter the sheer.

    Position 2
    As the bow of the tug draws level with amidships the positive
    pressures that exist at both sterns will cause the tug to sheer
    inwards towards the larger vessel. Apply starboard helm.

    Position 3
    Negative pressures of both vessel’s hulls may draw the tug
    closer, however the boundary layer that exists between the two
    vessels will overcome this effect causing a net outward yaw so
    moderate port helm will be required.

    Interaction (MAR) 4
    Position 4
    As the tug reaches the bow of the larger vessel the positive
    pressures of both vessels will cause the bow to swing out to
    starboard. Counter with port helm.

    Position 5

    In this position the tug is vulnerable. The positive pressure at


    the bow of the larger vessel and the smaller positive pressure of
    the tugs stern will cause the tug to sheer across the larger
    vessel’s bow.
    In addition, the flow of water between the two vessels will act
    on the face of the tug’s rudder making the sheer effect worse.
    If passing lines the ships should be almost stopped to prevent
    risk of capsize. Consider also the effect of any bow wave.
    These effects will be much more prominent in shallow water!
