| Abstract | A PMM is an electromechanical device used to move a model ship in a pre-programmed series of motions in a test tank facility. The forces and moments on the model and other data relating to performance are measured. The results of these tests are used to predict the full-scale vessel’s performance, enabling designers to create safer and more efficient vessels. At NRC-IOT, surge motion is provided by the carriage movement along the tank, and the sway and yaw motions by the PMM. This paper describes the capabilities of the NRC-IOT PMM, and the control system interface |
