OCEN 621 Naval Architecture Homework #4

1. Write a computer program to time integrate the sway-yaw (and surge?) equations of motion to simulate a turning circle for the super-tanker found in Homework #3. Compare your results to the analytical predictions and the IMO maneuvering standards. You can use any language you are comfortable with including MATLAB which is available from the university to run on your own machine. I would suggest that you integrate using a Runga-Kutta 4^th order integration scheme to achieve reliable results. A good reference for this is the Numerical Recipes series.
2. Write a report explaining your results. Your report should include the following:
   1. Introduction
   2. Computer Program with Internal Documentation
   3. Results Plotted and Compared to Analytical Results
   4. Final Discussion of your results
