scholars have used different numerical methods to study thecharacteristics of landslide-generated tsunamis Yavari-Ramshe and Ataie-Ashtiani [8] presented a new landslide-generated model based on incompressible Euler equationsA two-layer model was developed that included a layer ofgranular-type flow beneath a layer of inviscid flow Ataie-Ashtiani and Yavari-Ramshe [9] estimated the impact oflandslide-generated waves using a 2D fourth-order Bous-sinesq-type numerical model Ruffini et al [10] focused onnumerical landslide tsunami propagation in the far field toquantify the effect of the water-body geometry Kelfoun et al[11] used a new two-fluid (seawater and landslide) numericalmodel to estimate the wave amplitudes and the propagationof tsunamis associated with landslide events on ReunionIsland Farhadi [12] performed a numerical simulation of thegravity currents of non-Newtonian fluids via the incom-pressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics approachCecioni and Bellotti [13] presented a depth-integrated nu-merical model for the simulation of the generation andpropagation of tsunamis due to submerged landslides

)emovement of ships on waves has been investigated vianumerical simulations and model tests Hirdaris et al [14]reviewed some of the recent advances in the assessment ofloads for ships and offshore structures with the aim of pre-senting the overall technological landscape for further in-vestigation validation and implementation by the academicand industrial communities Sasa et al [15] performed anumerical simulation of ship motions by using a coastalnetwork wave database Some experts focused on themovement characteristics of the ship in its six degrees offreedom Kianejad et al [16] performed numerical and ex-perimental simulations to examine the effects of differentwave heights and wave frequencies on the ship motioncharacteristics Piscopo et al [17] examined the heave andpitch motion time histories via a time-domain simulationaccording to theoretical wave spectra Scholars have alsostudied the manipulation of ships Seo and Kim [18] per-formed a numerical analysis of the ship manoeuvring per-formance in the presence of incident waves and the resultantshipmotion responses Szlapczynski et al [19] used amodel ofthe ship dynamics to assess the time and distance necessaryfor amanoeuvre to avoid domain violations Lee andKim [20]considered the effects of the steady flow approximation in theanalysis of ship manoeuvring in waves Owing to the strongnonlinear effect of landslide surges the traditional linearpotential flow theory is not accurate Scholars such as Yuanet al [21 22] employed engineering examples and the or-thogonalmodel test method to study the navigational safety ofships in landslide-generated tsunami waters

In summary scholars have performed considerable researchon the propagation characteristics of landslide-generated tsu-namis the laws of shipmovement and the shipmanoeuvres viavarious methods such as theoretical analysis numerical sim-ulation field observation and indoor experiments Howeverfew studies have been performed on the direct development oflandslide-generated tsunamis and ship motion and there hasbeen even less theoretical research on the effect of landslide-generated tsunamis on the ship )erefore according to thefour-degree-of-freedom motion equation of ships and the

characteristics of landslide-generated tsunami propagation thispaper presents simulation procedures for studying the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on ship manoeuvring along withscientific suggestions and theoretical support for the naviga-tional safety of ships in landslide-generated tsunami waters

3 Model Test

Because of the large-scale landslide surge occurred in thenature it is difficult to capture the landslide surge of originaldata )rough the present research of the )ree GorgesReservoir area river by the model test the model scale isdetermined according to the Froude number In this studythe physical model mainly includes the chute carriage riverlandslide ultrasonic wave acquisition analyser etc )rougha large-scale model test the spread characteristic of thelandslide surge is examined

31 Chute )e chutes are made of high-strength steel )eyhave overall lengths of 2 and 06m and their widths can beadjusted to 05 10 and 15m )e chutes are equipped witha side board floor internal demand placed landslide thechute through ascension device fixed on the sliding shelvesthe chute and chute plate inside have been burnished beforethe test in order to total frictional resistance of equal chuteand carriage as shown in Figure 3

32 Channel Model )e length of the straight section is28m the centre line radius of the bending section is 7mthe length of the straight section of the bending section is13m the width of the upper edge of the river is 8 m andthe river section has the shape of an inverted trapezoid)e main construction process of the river is as follows (1)by the method of model of generalised channel model (2)cross section design and processing in accordance withthe actual survey data (3) the channel model of each 3Dlayout (ensuring the accuracy of the data for every crosssection) (4) the lofting process of the boards (ensuring theaccuracy of each section after conversion in accordancewith the original data) (5) decomposition of the wholeriver (at the bottom) into a linear area a landslide areaand a river bend area for generalised processing (6)casting of the river and building based on the model afterthe lofting (7) waterproofing the constructed model toprevent leakage and ensure its effectiveness as shown inFigure 4

measurement point Channel 8 was a ground wire placed atthe bottom of the channel model In the test a 1M ul-trasonic probe with an accuracy of lt01mm was used tocalibrate the sensor on an electric displacement platform of5 microm Additionally the ultrasonic wave meter was installedon the measuring bridge )e most generous slope wasselected for the sliding down the chute and the ultrasonicwave meter was placed 30 cm below the water surfaceaccording to the maximummeasured value of the first waveheight of the landslide surge )e measuring instrumentwas calibrated

34 Verification of Results After the sliding of the slideralong the chute the changes of the liquid level at differenttimes were compared with the calculation results of Heinrich[23] As shown in Figure 5 the test results were consistentwith Heinrichrsquos calculations

)e calculated results of this experiment were slightlysmaller than those of Heinrich mainly because thelandslide in this paper was 3D and scattered and thecollision of the landslide during the sliding process wasaccompanied by energy dissipation )e second is theinverted trapezoid of the test channel )e landslide surgeis accompanied by reflection and superposition in theprocess of propagation which affect the water level at themonitoring point

4 Simulation of Ship Manipulation Motion inStill Water

41 Roll Analysis of Operating Conditions for PropellerRevolution In this study a Yangtze River cruise ship wastaken as the research object A roll test of the ship wassimulated and the results were compared with the experi-mental data )e shiprsquos manoeuvring performance waspredicted and the mathematical model for the shipmanoeuvring was verified)emain parameters of the shiprsquosmain scale and rudder and oars are presented in Table 1

Under hydrostatic conditions the initial state of the pilotshiprsquos roll test is presented in Table 2

By establishing a model of the ship-operated motion theturning circle motion of the ship in still water was analysed)e shiprsquos roll trajectories for different propeller speeds areshown in Figures 6 and 7

)e roll characteristic parameters solved via numericalsimulation were compared with the ship test results and theerror was evaluated as shown in Table 3

For the ship in static water the following conclusionscan be drawn from the gyration trajectory and characteristicparameters of the ship at different main engine speeds

(1) )e propeller revolution was timed and the roll ringsizes differed slightly between the port and starboard)is was due to the ldquozero positive rudder anglerdquo forthe ship in the operating corner of the rudder theactual rudder did not have an angle of zero but wasslightly skewed in a certain direction leading to asmall difference between the port and starboardunder the same roll diameter

ship speed increased but the roll performance wasdegraded

(3) )e simulation results were compared with the shiptest data )e error of each roll characteristic pa-rameter of the ship was within plusmn20 and far smallerthan 20 satisfying the precision requirements forengineering applications )us the mathematical

model of ship manipulation motion used in thisstudy is correct and reasonable and further simu-lations can be performed using this model

(4) )e simplified manoeuvring motion model of shipsin landslide surge waters such as the hydrodynamicperformance of propellers and rudders may causeerrors in the calculation results However duringship rotation the variation trends of various pa-rameters of ship rotation were consistent with thetheoretical research results for the ship manoeuvringmotion indicating the reliability and correctness ofthe mathematical model

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

scholars have used different numerical methods to study thecharacteristics of landslide-generated tsunamis Yavari-Ramshe and Ataie-Ashtiani [8] presented a new landslide-generated model based on incompressible Euler equationsA two-layer model was developed that included a layer ofgranular-type flow beneath a layer of inviscid flow Ataie-Ashtiani and Yavari-Ramshe [9] estimated the impact oflandslide-generated waves using a 2D fourth-order Bous-sinesq-type numerical model Ruffini et al [10] focused onnumerical landslide tsunami propagation in the far field toquantify the effect of the water-body geometry Kelfoun et al[11] used a new two-fluid (seawater and landslide) numericalmodel to estimate the wave amplitudes and the propagationof tsunamis associated with landslide events on ReunionIsland Farhadi [12] performed a numerical simulation of thegravity currents of non-Newtonian fluids via the incom-pressible smoothed particle hydrodynamics approachCecioni and Bellotti [13] presented a depth-integrated nu-merical model for the simulation of the generation andpropagation of tsunamis due to submerged landslides

)emovement of ships on waves has been investigated vianumerical simulations and model tests Hirdaris et al [14]reviewed some of the recent advances in the assessment ofloads for ships and offshore structures with the aim of pre-senting the overall technological landscape for further in-vestigation validation and implementation by the academicand industrial communities Sasa et al [15] performed anumerical simulation of ship motions by using a coastalnetwork wave database Some experts focused on themovement characteristics of the ship in its six degrees offreedom Kianejad et al [16] performed numerical and ex-perimental simulations to examine the effects of differentwave heights and wave frequencies on the ship motioncharacteristics Piscopo et al [17] examined the heave andpitch motion time histories via a time-domain simulationaccording to theoretical wave spectra Scholars have alsostudied the manipulation of ships Seo and Kim [18] per-formed a numerical analysis of the ship manoeuvring per-formance in the presence of incident waves and the resultantshipmotion responses Szlapczynski et al [19] used amodel ofthe ship dynamics to assess the time and distance necessaryfor amanoeuvre to avoid domain violations Lee andKim [20]considered the effects of the steady flow approximation in theanalysis of ship manoeuvring in waves Owing to the strongnonlinear effect of landslide surges the traditional linearpotential flow theory is not accurate Scholars such as Yuanet al [21 22] employed engineering examples and the or-thogonalmodel test method to study the navigational safety ofships in landslide-generated tsunami waters

3 Model Test

Because of the large-scale landslide surge occurred in thenature it is difficult to capture the landslide surge of originaldata )rough the present research of the )ree GorgesReservoir area river by the model test the model scale isdetermined according to the Froude number In this studythe physical model mainly includes the chute carriage riverlandslide ultrasonic wave acquisition analyser etc )rougha large-scale model test the spread characteristic of thelandslide surge is examined

31 Chute )e chutes are made of high-strength steel )eyhave overall lengths of 2 and 06m and their widths can beadjusted to 05 10 and 15m )e chutes are equipped witha side board floor internal demand placed landslide thechute through ascension device fixed on the sliding shelvesthe chute and chute plate inside have been burnished beforethe test in order to total frictional resistance of equal chuteand carriage as shown in Figure 3

32 Channel Model )e length of the straight section is28m the centre line radius of the bending section is 7mthe length of the straight section of the bending section is13m the width of the upper edge of the river is 8 m andthe river section has the shape of an inverted trapezoid)e main construction process of the river is as follows (1)by the method of model of generalised channel model (2)cross section design and processing in accordance withthe actual survey data (3) the channel model of each 3Dlayout (ensuring the accuracy of the data for every crosssection) (4) the lofting process of the boards (ensuring theaccuracy of each section after conversion in accordancewith the original data) (5) decomposition of the wholeriver (at the bottom) into a linear area a landslide areaand a river bend area for generalised processing (6)casting of the river and building based on the model afterthe lofting (7) waterproofing the constructed model toprevent leakage and ensure its effectiveness as shown inFigure 4

33 Measurement Methods )e measuring instrument wasa self-developed ultrasonic wave acquisition analyserwhich can determine the maximumwave height maximumperiod meaningful wave height and meaningful period atdifferent monitoring points In the test the acquisition timeof the equipment was 50 s and the acquisition frequencywas 50Hz Instruments were arranged in the river tomeasure the swell characteristics )e instruments weretested and had good adaptability and accuracy )e ul-trasonic wave analyser had 16 channels To facilitate thesorting of the test data each channel corresponded to a

measurement point Channel 8 was a ground wire placed atthe bottom of the channel model In the test a 1M ul-trasonic probe with an accuracy of lt01mm was used tocalibrate the sensor on an electric displacement platform of5 microm Additionally the ultrasonic wave meter was installedon the measuring bridge )e most generous slope wasselected for the sliding down the chute and the ultrasonicwave meter was placed 30 cm below the water surfaceaccording to the maximummeasured value of the first waveheight of the landslide surge )e measuring instrumentwas calibrated

34 Verification of Results After the sliding of the slideralong the chute the changes of the liquid level at differenttimes were compared with the calculation results of Heinrich[23] As shown in Figure 5 the test results were consistentwith Heinrichrsquos calculations

)e calculated results of this experiment were slightlysmaller than those of Heinrich mainly because thelandslide in this paper was 3D and scattered and thecollision of the landslide during the sliding process wasaccompanied by energy dissipation )e second is theinverted trapezoid of the test channel )e landslide surgeis accompanied by reflection and superposition in theprocess of propagation which affect the water level at themonitoring point

4 Simulation of Ship Manipulation Motion inStill Water

41 Roll Analysis of Operating Conditions for PropellerRevolution In this study a Yangtze River cruise ship wastaken as the research object A roll test of the ship wassimulated and the results were compared with the experi-mental data )e shiprsquos manoeuvring performance waspredicted and the mathematical model for the shipmanoeuvring was verified)emain parameters of the shiprsquosmain scale and rudder and oars are presented in Table 1

Under hydrostatic conditions the initial state of the pilotshiprsquos roll test is presented in Table 2

By establishing a model of the ship-operated motion theturning circle motion of the ship in still water was analysed)e shiprsquos roll trajectories for different propeller speeds areshown in Figures 6 and 7

)e roll characteristic parameters solved via numericalsimulation were compared with the ship test results and theerror was evaluated as shown in Table 3

For the ship in static water the following conclusionscan be drawn from the gyration trajectory and characteristicparameters of the ship at different main engine speeds

(1) )e propeller revolution was timed and the roll ringsizes differed slightly between the port and starboard)is was due to the ldquozero positive rudder anglerdquo forthe ship in the operating corner of the rudder theactual rudder did not have an angle of zero but wasslightly skewed in a certain direction leading to asmall difference between the port and starboardunder the same roll diameter

(2) )e propeller speed was 122 rmin corresponding toan initial ship speed of 26 kmh )e rotationcharacteristic parameters compared to the propellerspeed of 154 rmin corresponding to the initialspeed of 32 kmh Ship propeller speed increased the

ship speed increased but the roll performance wasdegraded

(3) )e simulation results were compared with the shiptest data )e error of each roll characteristic pa-rameter of the ship was within plusmn20 and far smallerthan 20 satisfying the precision requirements forengineering applications )us the mathematical

model of ship manipulation motion used in thisstudy is correct and reasonable and further simu-lations can be performed using this model

(4) )e simplified manoeuvring motion model of shipsin landslide surge waters such as the hydrodynamicperformance of propellers and rudders may causeerrors in the calculation results However duringship rotation the variation trends of various pa-rameters of ship rotation were consistent with thetheoretical research results for the ship manoeuvringmotion indicating the reliability and correctness ofthe mathematical model

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

3 Model Test

Because of the large-scale landslide surge occurred in thenature it is difficult to capture the landslide surge of originaldata )rough the present research of the )ree GorgesReservoir area river by the model test the model scale isdetermined according to the Froude number In this studythe physical model mainly includes the chute carriage riverlandslide ultrasonic wave acquisition analyser etc )rougha large-scale model test the spread characteristic of thelandslide surge is examined

31 Chute )e chutes are made of high-strength steel )eyhave overall lengths of 2 and 06m and their widths can beadjusted to 05 10 and 15m )e chutes are equipped witha side board floor internal demand placed landslide thechute through ascension device fixed on the sliding shelvesthe chute and chute plate inside have been burnished beforethe test in order to total frictional resistance of equal chuteand carriage as shown in Figure 3

32 Channel Model )e length of the straight section is28m the centre line radius of the bending section is 7mthe length of the straight section of the bending section is13m the width of the upper edge of the river is 8 m andthe river section has the shape of an inverted trapezoid)e main construction process of the river is as follows (1)by the method of model of generalised channel model (2)cross section design and processing in accordance withthe actual survey data (3) the channel model of each 3Dlayout (ensuring the accuracy of the data for every crosssection) (4) the lofting process of the boards (ensuring theaccuracy of each section after conversion in accordancewith the original data) (5) decomposition of the wholeriver (at the bottom) into a linear area a landslide areaand a river bend area for generalised processing (6)casting of the river and building based on the model afterthe lofting (7) waterproofing the constructed model toprevent leakage and ensure its effectiveness as shown inFigure 4

By establishing a model of the ship-operated motion theturning circle motion of the ship in still water was analysed)e shiprsquos roll trajectories for different propeller speeds areshown in Figures 6 and 7

)e roll characteristic parameters solved via numericalsimulation were compared with the ship test results and theerror was evaluated as shown in Table 3

For the ship in static water the following conclusionscan be drawn from the gyration trajectory and characteristicparameters of the ship at different main engine speeds

(1) )e propeller revolution was timed and the roll ringsizes differed slightly between the port and starboard)is was due to the ldquozero positive rudder anglerdquo forthe ship in the operating corner of the rudder theactual rudder did not have an angle of zero but wasslightly skewed in a certain direction leading to asmall difference between the port and starboardunder the same roll diameter

(2) )e propeller speed was 122 rmin corresponding toan initial ship speed of 26 kmh )e rotationcharacteristic parameters compared to the propellerspeed of 154 rmin corresponding to the initialspeed of 32 kmh Ship propeller speed increased the

ship speed increased but the roll performance wasdegraded

(3) )e simulation results were compared with the shiptest data )e error of each roll characteristic pa-rameter of the ship was within plusmn20 and far smallerthan 20 satisfying the precision requirements forengineering applications )us the mathematical

model of ship manipulation motion used in thisstudy is correct and reasonable and further simu-lations can be performed using this model

(4) )e simplified manoeuvring motion model of shipsin landslide surge waters such as the hydrodynamicperformance of propellers and rudders may causeerrors in the calculation results However duringship rotation the variation trends of various pa-rameters of ship rotation were consistent with thetheoretical research results for the ship manoeuvringmotion indicating the reliability and correctness ofthe mathematical model

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

3 Model Test

Because of the large-scale landslide surge occurred in thenature it is difficult to capture the landslide surge of originaldata )rough the present research of the )ree GorgesReservoir area river by the model test the model scale isdetermined according to the Froude number In this studythe physical model mainly includes the chute carriage riverlandslide ultrasonic wave acquisition analyser etc )rougha large-scale model test the spread characteristic of thelandslide surge is examined

31 Chute )e chutes are made of high-strength steel )eyhave overall lengths of 2 and 06m and their widths can beadjusted to 05 10 and 15m )e chutes are equipped witha side board floor internal demand placed landslide thechute through ascension device fixed on the sliding shelvesthe chute and chute plate inside have been burnished beforethe test in order to total frictional resistance of equal chuteand carriage as shown in Figure 3

32 Channel Model )e length of the straight section is28m the centre line radius of the bending section is 7mthe length of the straight section of the bending section is13m the width of the upper edge of the river is 8 m andthe river section has the shape of an inverted trapezoid)e main construction process of the river is as follows (1)by the method of model of generalised channel model (2)cross section design and processing in accordance withthe actual survey data (3) the channel model of each 3Dlayout (ensuring the accuracy of the data for every crosssection) (4) the lofting process of the boards (ensuring theaccuracy of each section after conversion in accordancewith the original data) (5) decomposition of the wholeriver (at the bottom) into a linear area a landslide areaand a river bend area for generalised processing (6)casting of the river and building based on the model afterthe lofting (7) waterproofing the constructed model toprevent leakage and ensure its effectiveness as shown inFigure 4

33 Measurement Methods )e measuring instrument wasa self-developed ultrasonic wave acquisition analyserwhich can determine the maximumwave height maximumperiod meaningful wave height and meaningful period atdifferent monitoring points In the test the acquisition timeof the equipment was 50 s and the acquisition frequencywas 50Hz Instruments were arranged in the river tomeasure the swell characteristics )e instruments weretested and had good adaptability and accuracy )e ul-trasonic wave analyser had 16 channels To facilitate thesorting of the test data each channel corresponded to a

measurement point Channel 8 was a ground wire placed atthe bottom of the channel model In the test a 1M ul-trasonic probe with an accuracy of lt01mm was used tocalibrate the sensor on an electric displacement platform of5 microm Additionally the ultrasonic wave meter was installedon the measuring bridge )e most generous slope wasselected for the sliding down the chute and the ultrasonicwave meter was placed 30 cm below the water surfaceaccording to the maximummeasured value of the first waveheight of the landslide surge )e measuring instrumentwas calibrated

34 Verification of Results After the sliding of the slideralong the chute the changes of the liquid level at differenttimes were compared with the calculation results of Heinrich[23] As shown in Figure 5 the test results were consistentwith Heinrichrsquos calculations

)e calculated results of this experiment were slightlysmaller than those of Heinrich mainly because thelandslide in this paper was 3D and scattered and thecollision of the landslide during the sliding process wasaccompanied by energy dissipation )e second is theinverted trapezoid of the test channel )e landslide surgeis accompanied by reflection and superposition in theprocess of propagation which affect the water level at themonitoring point

4 Simulation of Ship Manipulation Motion inStill Water

41 Roll Analysis of Operating Conditions for PropellerRevolution In this study a Yangtze River cruise ship wastaken as the research object A roll test of the ship wassimulated and the results were compared with the experi-mental data )e shiprsquos manoeuvring performance waspredicted and the mathematical model for the shipmanoeuvring was verified)emain parameters of the shiprsquosmain scale and rudder and oars are presented in Table 1

Under hydrostatic conditions the initial state of the pilotshiprsquos roll test is presented in Table 2

By establishing a model of the ship-operated motion theturning circle motion of the ship in still water was analysed)e shiprsquos roll trajectories for different propeller speeds areshown in Figures 6 and 7

)e roll characteristic parameters solved via numericalsimulation were compared with the ship test results and theerror was evaluated as shown in Table 3

For the ship in static water the following conclusionscan be drawn from the gyration trajectory and characteristicparameters of the ship at different main engine speeds

(1) )e propeller revolution was timed and the roll ringsizes differed slightly between the port and starboard)is was due to the ldquozero positive rudder anglerdquo forthe ship in the operating corner of the rudder theactual rudder did not have an angle of zero but wasslightly skewed in a certain direction leading to asmall difference between the port and starboardunder the same roll diameter

(2) )e propeller speed was 122 rmin corresponding toan initial ship speed of 26 kmh )e rotationcharacteristic parameters compared to the propellerspeed of 154 rmin corresponding to the initialspeed of 32 kmh Ship propeller speed increased the

ship speed increased but the roll performance wasdegraded

(3) )e simulation results were compared with the shiptest data )e error of each roll characteristic pa-rameter of the ship was within plusmn20 and far smallerthan 20 satisfying the precision requirements forengineering applications )us the mathematical

model of ship manipulation motion used in thisstudy is correct and reasonable and further simu-lations can be performed using this model

(4) )e simplified manoeuvring motion model of shipsin landslide surge waters such as the hydrodynamicperformance of propellers and rudders may causeerrors in the calculation results However duringship rotation the variation trends of various pa-rameters of ship rotation were consistent with thetheoretical research results for the ship manoeuvringmotion indicating the reliability and correctness ofthe mathematical model

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

4 Simulation of Ship Manipulation Motion inStill Water

41 Roll Analysis of Operating Conditions for PropellerRevolution In this study a Yangtze River cruise ship wastaken as the research object A roll test of the ship wassimulated and the results were compared with the experi-mental data )e shiprsquos manoeuvring performance waspredicted and the mathematical model for the shipmanoeuvring was verified)emain parameters of the shiprsquosmain scale and rudder and oars are presented in Table 1

Under hydrostatic conditions the initial state of the pilotshiprsquos roll test is presented in Table 2

By establishing a model of the ship-operated motion theturning circle motion of the ship in still water was analysed)e shiprsquos roll trajectories for different propeller speeds areshown in Figures 6 and 7

)e roll characteristic parameters solved via numericalsimulation were compared with the ship test results and theerror was evaluated as shown in Table 3

For the ship in static water the following conclusionscan be drawn from the gyration trajectory and characteristicparameters of the ship at different main engine speeds

(1) )e propeller revolution was timed and the roll ringsizes differed slightly between the port and starboard)is was due to the ldquozero positive rudder anglerdquo forthe ship in the operating corner of the rudder theactual rudder did not have an angle of zero but wasslightly skewed in a certain direction leading to asmall difference between the port and starboardunder the same roll diameter

(2) )e propeller speed was 122 rmin corresponding toan initial ship speed of 26 kmh )e rotationcharacteristic parameters compared to the propellerspeed of 154 rmin corresponding to the initialspeed of 32 kmh Ship propeller speed increased the

ship speed increased but the roll performance wasdegraded

(3) )e simulation results were compared with the shiptest data )e error of each roll characteristic pa-rameter of the ship was within plusmn20 and far smallerthan 20 satisfying the precision requirements forengineering applications )us the mathematical

model of ship manipulation motion used in thisstudy is correct and reasonable and further simu-lations can be performed using this model

(4) )e simplified manoeuvring motion model of shipsin landslide surge waters such as the hydrodynamicperformance of propellers and rudders may causeerrors in the calculation results However duringship rotation the variation trends of various pa-rameters of ship rotation were consistent with thetheoretical research results for the ship manoeuvringmotion indicating the reliability and correctness ofthe mathematical model

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

)e rolling change curves as the starboard rolls the shipat different propeller speeds are shown in Figure 8 )efollowing observations were made

(1) )e shiprsquos roll process can be divided into threestages In the initial stage of rotation the ship tiltedtowards the inside of the circle and reached the initialangle of rotation owing to the transverse force of thehull and rudder In the transition stage it graduallyinclined towards the outside of the circle exceededthe roll angle and reached the maximum dynamicroll angle In the steady turning stage the steadyturning angle was stabilised

(2) When the propeller speed was 154 rmin the simu-lation indicated that the initial tilt angle of the roll was074deg the maximum power roll angle was 875deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately257deg When the propeller speed was 122 rmin themaximum power roll cross-roll angle was 579deg andthe roll angle of steady rotation was approximately162deg While propeller speed affected the initial speedof the ship the ship roll had a greater impact Whenthe speed of the main engine increased the maximumdynamic roll angle of the shiprsquos hydrostatic rotationincreased along with the stable roll angle of the steadyrotation stage

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

(3) According to the calculation book of the loadingcondition of the selected ship when the main enginespeed was 154 and 122 rmin the steady rotary rollangle of the ship was 26deg and 18deg respectively Asindicated by the curve of the roll angle the simu-lation results fit well )erefore the mathematicalmodel of manoeuvring movement developed in thisstudy is reasonable

42 Rotation at Different Rudder Angles )e initial speed ofthe ship was set as 32 kmh with starboard roll angles of 10deg20deg and 35deg To simulate the roll motion at different rudderangles of the ship in still water the shiprsquos roll trajectory wasexamined as shown in Figure 9 )e roll angle change curveis presented in Figure 10

As indicated by the shiprsquos roll trajectory the shiprsquos rolldiameter was 21729m at the steering angle of 10deg 9908m atthe rudder angle of 20deg and 4878m at the rudder angle of35deg With the increasing rudder angle the shiprsquos gyration instill water decreased gradually and the ship exhibited goodgyration when sailing with a large rudder angle

From the analysis of the ship at different rudder anglesthe transverse variation curve was obtained

(1) With the increasing rudder angle the time takenfor the shiprsquos roll angle to stabilise increasedWhen the ship sailed with a larger rudder angle itneeded to go through more rolls to reach the stableroll angle whereas when the ship sailed with asmaller rudder angle it entered the steady turningstage earlier

(2) In the roll transition stage the maximum dynamicroll angle of the ship was 234deg 524deg and 875deg whenthe rudder angle was 10deg 20deg and 35deg respectivelyAs the rudder angle increased the maximum dy-namic roll angle of the ship increased )ereforewhen the ship turned in static water the rotary rollangle increased with the rudder angle When therudder angle increased to 20deg the rotary stable phaseof the roll angle is no longer a significant changealways maintain relatively stable

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

5 Analysis of Ship Roll Characteristics inLandslide-Generated Tsunamis

)e water entry point of the landslide body is mostly locatedon both sides of the channel and the heeling moment is thelargest and the risk is the highest when the transverse waveoccurs )erefore in this study the wave direction of thelandslide-generated tsunamis is selected to be 90deg that is theship suffers from the action of the right transverse wave atthe initial moment )e coupling action between thelandslide surge and the ship is shown in Figure 11

)e working conditions and wave-height test results forthe landslide example are presented in Table 4

)e landslide-genertated wave was highly nonlinear)rough the model test results they show the landslide-genertated wave as stokes wave elliptical cosine wavesolitary wave superposition therefore in this paper thewave forces acting on the ideal landslide-genertated waveinto irregular wave second-order drift force by the rules offormula of irregular wave spectrum and wave interferenceformula to calculate

51 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Sailing PositionsTo study the rolling situation of the ship at different directsailing positions five groups of repeated tests should beconducted when the ship is sailing )e first group involvesthe measurement of the shiprsquos speed in still water the secondgroup involves themeasurement of the time taken for the shipto sail to a fixedmonitoring point the third group involves theverification of the shiprsquos passage position and the fourth andfifth groups involve the extraction of test data If there is a 5difference between the results of the fourth and fifth groupsthe next group of tests is conducted If the error value of thetwo groups is lt5 the average value of the two groups is

taken as the test result )e ship sails in a straight line at theselected position with an initial speed of 26 kmh )emaximum wave height plot for different locations is shown inFigure 12 and the maximum roll angle calculations fordifferent locations are presented in Figure 13

As indicated by the analysis results in Figures 12 and 13the height of landslide-generated tsunamis decreasedsharply at a position close to the water entry point With anincrease in the distance from the water entry point themaximum wave height of the surge gradually decreased andthe energy carried by the surge was continuously consumed)e maximum roll angle is an important index for the safetyof ships sailing in waves )e International Maritime Or-ganization stipulates that the limit roll angle of ships sailingsafely in waves is 40degWhen the roll angle is gt40deg the stabilitycharacteristics of ships change which can lead to disastersTo prevent cargo movement and waves on deck the waterinlet angle and the maximum dynamic inclination angle ofthe ship should be considered )e minimum values of thethree should be taken as the standard tomeasure the safety ofthe ship )e engineering experience value is 15deg that is thelimit roll angle for the shiprsquos safe navigation is 15deg

According to the regulations of the InternationalMaritime Organization the maximum safe roll angle forstraight sailing in the wind and waves is 15deg that is whenthe roll angle exceeds 15deg the ship is in considerabledanger of capsizing As shown in Figure 13 the maximumroll angle of the ship reaches 2174deg 1630deg and 1562deg at100 200 and 280m respectively when the ship is proneto capsizing When the ship is 400 and 500m from thelandslide entry point the maximum roll angle is 898deg and764deg respectively (both less than 15deg) thus the ship isrelatively safe to navigate In order to guarantee safety ofship by the form of traffic control appropriate to allowships can drift along in the appropriate scope away fromthe landslide area decreased risk capsizing )roughconsiderable manoeuvring motion analysis the rela-tionship between the wave height and the maximum rollangle was determined as shown in Table 5

When the ship sails at an initial speed of 26 kmh and thedistance from the landslide entry point is gt400m the area isrelatively safe At this time the ship is safe during thenavigation According to the results of this study for sailingto be safe the ship should be 400ndash560m from the landslideentry point under this condition

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

52 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Speeds To study themaximum roll angle of the ship at different speeds the pro-peller propulsion speedwas controlled by changing the rotatingspeed of the main engine and the average speed of this sectionwas taken as the monitoring speed for fixed-distance naviga-tion monitoring Initial speeds of 15 18 and 21kmh wereselected Due to ship is located at 100m and 200m and 280mthe maximum roll angle is more than maximum securityheeling angle this period belongs to the dangerous areatherefore this section of the ship in the 400 and 500m fromlandslides in a relatively safe location as shown in Figure 14

As shown in Figure 14 when the ship was 500m fromthe landslide entry point the maximum roll angle of theship at all speeds was smaller than the roll angle at 400mthat is the maximum roll angle of the ship decreasedgradually with the increasing distance from the landslideentry point )e largest value of the maximum roll anglewas 1416deg from the water entry point of the landslide to400m which occurred at the maximum speed Under thisworking condition the shiprsquos roll angle was close to theultimate roll angle of 15deg which was a dangerous workingcondition that is the wave height was 268m and thesailing speed was 38 kmh )e minimum roll angle was898deg which occurred at the lowest speed When the shipwas 500m from the landslide entry point its maximumroll angle was 1244deg at a speed of 38 kmh and 764deg at a

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

speed of 26 kmh As shown in Figure 14 when the dis-tance from the landslide entry point was fixed the shiprsquosmaximum roll angle gradually increased with the speed)e maximum roll angle of the ship did not exceed 15deg inany of the working conditions )erefore when the shipsails in the area of 400ndash500m 26ndash38 kmh is a safe speedrange that does not present a danger of capsizing )erelationship between the shiprsquos initial speed and themaximum roll angle is presented in Table 6

In summary in the process of ship navigation the shiprsquosspeed is too fast resulting in a large roll angle which caneasily cause the hull to overturn thus the pilot should fullyconsider the state of the ship according to the actual situ-ation to weigh the advantages and disadvantages of thechoice

53 Maximum Roll Angle at Different Rudder AnglesSteering angles of 10deg 15deg 20deg 25deg and 35deg were selected andthe ship sailed at relatively safe positions of the 400m and500m landslide water inlet points at initial speeds of 26 32and 38 kmh )e maximum roll angle was recorded asshown in Figures 15 and 16

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Forships under the action of landslide-generated tsunamiswhen the initial speed was constant the maximum roll angleincreased with the rudder angle As shown in Figure 15when the shiprsquos sailing speed was 26 kmh the shiprsquos sailingrudder angle was 15deg and the shiprsquos maximum rolling anglewas 1245deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was 32 kmh theshiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 10deg and the shiprsquos maximumrolling angle was 1321deg When the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 15deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1245deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1769deg and the shiprsquosnavigation was in an unsafe state

As shown in Figure 16 when the shiprsquos sailing speed was26 kmh the shiprsquos sailing rudder angle was 20deg and theshiprsquos maximum rolling angle was 1364deg When the shiprsquossailing speed was 38 kmh the shiprsquos rudder angle was 10degthe shiprsquos maximum roll angle was 1443deg 15deg and 1812degand the shiprsquos navigation was in an unsafe state )e rela-tionship between the steering angle and the roll angle ispresented in Tables 7ndash9

As shown in Figures 15 and 16 the maximum roll anglefor each rudder angle always increased with the speed Asindicated by Tables 7ndash9 for ships under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis when the initial speed wasconstant the maximum roll angle increased sharply with thesteering A larger rudder angle corresponded to a higher riskof capsizing )erefore it is inappropriate to conduct large-rudder angle steering in surges and even less appropriate toconduct emergency steering With the increasing distancefrom the water entry point of the landslide the range of thesteering angle of the ship increased but the safe steeringangle remained small (lt20deg) When the ship is far from thewater entry point of the landslide a small rudder angle can

be used to ensure the navigation safety after the state of theship and the wind and wave conditions are confirmed

6 Ship Track Analysis in Landslide-Generated Tsunamis

To analyse the ship-shore collision risk one should firstensure that the vessels under landslide-generated tsunamis isnot happened beforehand therefore to study the trackconditions of ship in the landslide-generated tsunamis thelargest rolling of ship is the basis of the analysis resultsselection of navigation position the initial speed andsteering rudder angle are no overturning danger relativesafety conditions the simulation are in the initial wave totransverse wave under the condition of specific conditionsas shown in Table 10

61 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory at Zero Rudder AngleWorking conditions 1ndash3 and 4ndash6 were selected to study theshiprsquos motion trajectory during steering from the water entrypoint of the landslide to distances of 400 and 500m re-spectively as shown in Figures 17 and 18

As shown in Figures 17 and 18 under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis the ship did not conductsteering Additionally the shiprsquos trajectory graduallyshifted from the initial straight course to the direction ofwave propagation and the deviation became increasinglyobvious )is is because the wave direction angle changedduring the process of movement An abscissa diagramindicated the ship motion offsets and the variation of thevertical displacement for the ship sailing direction At thebeginning the ship was only affected by the transversewave and the transverse oscillation amplitude change ofthe vessel was partly a result of the landslide surge on themain body and partly due to the landslide surge over thesurface of the rudder which caused the turning of therudder and made the ship deviate significantly from theinitial position

)e ship was eventually affected by the component forcein the wave direction When the landslide-generated tsu-namis disappear if no steering is performed the ship will sailin a straight line along the deflected heading direction thusthe ship will eventually be far from the original course andcollide with the shore wall When the distance from thewater entry point of the landslide was fixed the shiprsquosmovement trajectories at different sailing speeds wereanalysed and compared A higher initial sailing speedyielded a greater track offset of the ship under the action oflandslide-generated tsunamis )erefore to maintain goodcourse stability the speed of the ship should be appropriatelyreduced in a landslide-generated tsunami At a given speedship trajectories at different positions were analysed com-paratively With an increase in the distance from the waterentry point of the landslide the wave declined and the forceon the ship decreased Additionally the offset along the Y-axis caused by the landslide-generated tsunamis in the shiprsquostrajectory decreased significantly

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

62 Shiprsquos Navigation Trajectory during Steering )e shipencountered landslide-generated tsunamis during sailingand the shiprsquos track gradually deviated without steering )ewidth of the river course in the landslide area selected in thisstudy was 560m As the ship continued to sail its offset inthe Y direction at 400 and 500m exceeded 160 and 60mrespectively that is the ship hit the bank slope and acollision occurred )erefore to avoid ship collision acci-dents and ensure the safety of the ship navigation steeringshould be performed in advance

To ensure the navigation safety of the ship it was as-sumed that the ship started steering after sailing 100m underthe action of landslide-generated tsunamis and the shiprsquostrack at the limit rudder angle was predicted under eachworking condition

When the shiprsquos initial speed reached 38 kmh at theposition 400m from the landslide entry point the ship waseasily capsized with the rudder whereas a ship-shore

collision occurred without the rudder )erefore in thecalculation example a ship with a speed of 38 kmh cannotsail safely with a rudder thus it is in a dangerous sailingstate When the initial sailing speed is 26 kmh the ultimatesafe rudder angle is selected to be 15deg and the safe rudderangle is selected to be 10deg when the sailing speed is 32 kmh)e ship movement trajectories in the two foregoing con-ditions (working conditions 1 and 2) were simulated )eresults are presented in Figures 19 and 20

As shown in Figures 19 and 20 before the steering theshiprsquos sailing path was shifted in the direction of landslide-generated tsunami propagation When the ship startedsteering it moved in the direction of migration for a certaindistance but the track offset increased and the ship sloweduntil the maximum offset was reached

When the speed was 26 kmh and the ultimate safetyrudder angle was 15deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquostrajectory was 533m which is significantly smaller than

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

mathematical model of four-degree-of-freedom shipmanoeuvring movement was established and the maximumroll angle and ship track line changes in static water andlandslide-generated tsunamis were investigated through theestablished simulation program According to the resultsthe following conclusions are drawn

(1) At a shorter distance to the water inlet landslide-generated tsunamis are higher the shiprsquos roll angle islarger and navigation is more dangerous for largerships )erefore the ship sailing in the range of con-ditions permit in case of sudden landslide-generatedtsunamis according to ship the location quickly awayfrom the area )e ship should avoid a large rudderangle particularly the emergency steering

(2) If no steering is performed in landslide-generatedtsunamis the shiprsquos trajectory gradually shifts from theinitial straight course to the propagation direction ofthe landslide-generated tsunami In the same externalenvironment a higher initial speed results in a largerhorizontal deviation distance of the ship When theship starts to steer the increase in the shiprsquos outwardmigration slows and after the maximum offset isreached the direction of the track line can be restoredunder the action of the rudder force

(3) )e developed simulation program for ship controlmovement can be used to study the effects oflandslide-generated tsunamis on the ship controlcharacteristics )e examples selected in this studywere rudder angles of 15deg 10deg and 20deg at initial shipspeeds of 26 32 and 26 kmh respectively from thelandslide point of 400m )ese conditions are rec-ommended for safe navigation of the ship

160m )us the ship could avoid a collision with the bankslope by turning the rudder without capsizing When thespeed was 32 kmh and the ultimate safety rudder angle was10deg the maximum lateral offset of the shiprsquos trajectory was1081m which is smaller than 160m At this time the shipcould still avoid a collision with the bank slope

For the position 500m from the water inlet point of thelandslide the shiprsquos movement trajectory under workingconditions 4ndash6 was simulated and the influence of the steeringangle was considered )e results are shown in Figure 21

As shown in Figure 21 the maximum track lateral offsetwas 304m for condition 4 564m for condition 5 and

1041m for condition 6 To avoid the collision between theship and the bank slope the maximum offset should be lt60mat this time )us working conditions 4 and 5 satisfied therequirements whereas working condition 6 did not

In summary according to the example of the cruise shipof Yangtze river in the)ree Gorges Reservoir area sailing inthe Tuokou area of Yiwan Yangtze river bridge to ensure thenavigation safety of the ship it should sail at a distance of400ndash500m from the water point of the landslide Whencourse deviation occurs a ship-shore collision can beavoided via proper steering and the ship can return to theinitial route At a distance of 400m when the initial sailingspeed was 26 kmh the ship steering angle was 15deg and whenthe initial sailing speed was 32 kmh the ship steering anglewas 10deg for ensuring the navigation safety of the ship Inthese two cases the maximum roll angle was 1245deg and1321deg respectively and the maximum yaw distance was 533and 1081m respectively At a distance of 500m a steeringangle of 20deg at a speed of 26 kmh ensured the navigationsafety of the ship In this case the maximum roll angle was1364deg and the maximum yaw distance was 304m the speedof the ship at 26 kmh and the steering is 20deg to ensure thesafety of the shiprsquos navigation

7 Conclusions

)e geological environment of the)ree Gorges Reservoir iscomplex and prone to landslides )e falling of the landslidebody into the water results in landslide-generated tsunamiswith a large amount of energy which pose a considerablethreat to the navigation safety of ships )erefore it is ofpractical significance to investigate the shiprsquos handlingcharacteristics in landslide-generated tsunamis In thisstudy according to the empirical formula method a
