| Description: | THE PROJECT IS INTENDED TO CONTRIBUTE TO A BETTER UNDERSTANDING AND PREVENTION OF THE SO-CALLED “DIRECT BROACHING-TO” BEHAVIOR OF SHIPS IN STEEP FOLLOWING/QUARTERING SEAS, BY UNCOVERING THE DYNAMICS GOVERNING SUCH PERILOUS INCIDENTS. DESPITE HAVING BEEN RECOGNIZED AS AN INSTABILITY PHENOMENON SINCE LONG TIME, THE FUNDAMENTAL MECHANISM HAS NOT YET BEEN SUFFICIENTLY CLARIFIED. THE CURRENT RESEARCH IS INTENDED TO ADVANCE THE STATE-OF-ART ON THIS TOPIC BY ACHIEVING TO DEVELOP: A) AN ENGINEERING-LEVEL MATHEMATICAL MODEL SUITABLE FOR INVESTIGATING QUALITATIVELY AND QUANTITATIVELY DIRECT BROACHING-TO. B) A CREDIBLE SCIENTIFIC THEORY EXPLAINING THE UNDERLYING DYNAMIC MECHANISM; C) PRACTICAL CRITERIA ENSURING ITS MITIGATION. |
