The aim of the course is for students to master the knowledge of seakeeping and maneuverability.

The students should obtain skills and knowledge to independently research and solve state-of-the-art problems on ship stability, seakeeping and maneuverability.

The course Ship dynamics consists of two parts: Seakeeping and maneuverability. The seakeeping part is a follow-up to the M.Sc. course Seakeeping. It contains the following areas: methods for determining additional masses and damping, the general case of ship rolling (coupled equations, arbitrary direction of the ship in relation to waves), non-linear rolling, parametric rolling and other problems of seakeeping which, due to complexity, were not analyzed in detail at the Master academic studies. The part Maneuverability is a continuation of the M.Sc. course Maneuverability, and contains the following areas: application of the theory of a slender ship and non-linear theory of maneuverability.

Solving of coupled non-linear differential equations of ship dynamics on waves. Solving the problems of ship stability using methods based on non-linear dynamics.
