Abstract
This project addresses the dynamic characterization, hydrodynamics and aerodynamics of the oceanographic ship Alpha Crucis using a reduced scale model and experimental tests. It will also be developed a real-time numerical simulator, including vessel's commands and control systems (DP System and Autopilot) as well as accessory equipment used in oceanographic research. The ship will be instrumented for full scale campaigns and actual measurement will be performed to validate the simulator and study scale effects not yet fully understood and considered in the design and analysis of vessels. It will also be studied the development of position controller for frozen environment, when the ship is subject to constant impact of ice sheets that affect the performance of conventional DP system.
