Estimating maneuvering coefficients using system identification methods with experimental, system-based, and CFD free-running trial data

Predicting ship maneuverings in calm water is an important topic; however, it is very expensive to run numerous maneuvering simulations using CFD. Despite its short computation time, system-based simulations need many captive model tests to estimate the hydrodynamic and rudder maneuvering coefficients used in the system-based mathematical model and the results have difficulty to achieve quantitative agreement with experimental data. Herein...
