It is possible to 
participate in the workshop by performing: 
  
A) model tests 
with one of the hulls 
B) simulations 
using a system-based method, or 
C) simulations 
using a CFD-based method 
  
All participating 
groups should follow the instructions given in the section below defining the 
content and format of the submitted data. Groups performing simulations are 
required to fill out a questionnaire to document the used method. At the 
workshop the participants are expected to present a poster documenting their 
method and a paper that will be published in the workshop proceedings.    
    
	1. Test Procedures  
	The model tests should generally be carried out according to the 
	Recommended Procedures given by the 23rd ITTC Manoeuvring Committee, i.e.: 
  
	
    
     
	2. Simulation Procedures  
	With respect to the manoeuvring simulation methods, whether based on 
	experimental or numerical data, it is recommended that they are validated 
	based on the following ITTC Recommended Procedure: 
	 
	“Validation of 
	Manoeuvring Simulation Models”, No. 7.5-02-06-03, 2002.  
    
     
 
    
	3. Uncertainty Assessment  
	Uncertainty assessment (i.e. 
	verification) is required for all participants, both for the experimental 
	methods and for the numerical methods.   
	With respect to the numerical 
	methods it is recommended that the procedures proposed by the 22nd ITTC 
	Resistance Committee be used, however, estimates from alternate methods, 
	including extrapolation of uncertainty estimates from benchmark 
	applications, are acceptable. The 22nd ITTC adopted the procedures on an 
	interim basis and included them in the following sections of the Quality 
	Manual:  
	QM Section 4.9-04-01-01, "Uncertainty Assessment in CFD 
	Methodology," Download PDF file [125KB]
	 
	QM Section 4.9-04-01-02, "Guidelines for RANS Codes,"
	Download PDF file [26KB] 
	QM Section 4.9-04-02-01, "Examples for Resistance and Flow,"
	Download PDF file [1135KB] 
	Note that the procedures and methodology are based upon those presented in
	Stern et al. (1999).
      With respect to the captive tests 
		(mainly PMM) it is recommended to follow the procedure described in
		Simonsen, C. D., 2004. 
    
     
    4. Format of Model Test Results  
	
		- 
		
A full set 
		of results corresponding to the relevant test program described on this 
		site must be supplied.  
		   
		- 
		
The results 
		must be sent as soon as possible after termination of the tests.  
		   
		- 
		
All files 
		should be packed in a single zip-file.  
		   
		- 
		
Files should 
		be in ASCII-format.  
		   
		- 
		
All data in 
		model scale.  
		   
		- 
		
All data in 
		SI-units.  
		   
		- 
		
For static 
		tests mean values should be given, while for dynamic tests incl. free 
		model tests full time series as well as Fourier coefficients must be 
		supplied.  
		   
		- 
		
For 
		captive tests the following parameters should be included:  
		Time, total forces (X, Y, N), position (x, y, psi), velocities (u, v, 
		r), accelerations (udot, vdot, rdot).  
		 
		For static tests mean values should be given. For dynamic 
		tests data should be delivered in the form of time series of 
		hydrodynamic forces for one complete PMM cycle after 
		filtering and averaging over the measurement period.  
		   
		- 
		
For free 
		tests the following parameters should be included:  
		Time, position (x, y, psi), velocities (u, v ,r), roll angle, rudder 
		angle, propeller revolutions, propeller thrust/torque (optional), rudder 
		forces/moment (optional). A full time series of each channel must be 
		supplied.  
		   
		- 
		
A 
		separate file shall describe the model and the test conditions including:
		  
	 
	
		- 
		
		 model scale
		  
		- 
		
		model weight   
		- 
		
		model moment of inertia izz   
		- 
		
any 
		deviations in model geometry from the data given on this site   
		- 
		
any 
		deviations in test conditions from the data given on this site   
		- 
		
		applied method of turbulence stimulation   
		- 
		
		applied method of frictional force correction   
		- 
		
		applied strategy for adjustment of propeller revolutions   
		- 
		
		 water 
		temperature   
		- 
		
		logging frequency

    9. Format of Posters 
	Posters should be submitted in pdf-format on the   
	FTP-server. 
	The printed size will be 70 x 100 cm. Additional guidelines can be found
	here. An example of a poster layout is given
	here.
    
    
     
    10. Format of Papers 
	Papers should be submitted in pdf-format on the
	FTP-server. A template in Microsoft Word which 
	describes the format is given 
	here.  
     
    11. Coordinate system 
	The coordinate system and sign convention to be used 
	throughout the workshop is the one normally used for manoeuvring as 
	described in ITTC "Symbols and Terminology List", Version 2002, i.e. a 
	right-handed, horizontal, body-fixed coordinate system with x positive 
	forward of midships, y positive starboard of centre line and z positive down 
	from waterline. 
     
    12. FTP server 
	Model test data can be downloaded from the FORCE Technology FTP-server (ftp.force.dk). 
	The captive model test data for input to the simulation methods is stored in 
	the folder 'simman2008-open', separately from the free model test data in 
	'simman2008-blind', which will be kept blind until the workshop.  
	Note: after the workshop all the free model test data has been moved to the 
	folder 'simman2008-open'. 
	Simulation results as well as papers and posters should be submitted by 
	uploading the files in the prescribed format to the FTP-server under 
	'simman2008-submit'. 
	 
	The structure of the folders can be seen
	here 
	 
	Login to the FTP server: 
	 
	To obtain a username and a password, please send an e-mail to:
	secretary@simman2008.dk
 
	 
	Up/download instructions: 
	1. Open an Internet Explorer.  
	2. Go to ftp://ftp.force.dk/pub/.  
	3. Select ‘File’/’Login as…’ and enter username and password.  
	4. Go to the folder ‘simman2008-open’/‘simman2008-submit’ and find the
