ARROW - Avoiding SYNCHRONOUS or PARAMETRIC RESONANCE

The ARROW program is a software tool to estimate and display the potential conditions and countermeasures to Avoid Rolling Resonances Or Wave impacts on ships due to specific wave encounter situations, specifically potential danger caused by SYNCHRONOUS or PARAMETRIC RESONANCE


The ARROW program is a software tool to estimate and display the potential conditions and countermeasures to Avoid Rolling Resonances Or Wave impacts on ships due to specific wave encounter situations, specifically potential danger caused by synchronous or parametric resonance.

The software requests a only few data from the user like:

  • ships course and speed
  • loading condition (GM, lever arms)
  • ships mean draught
  • wave situation (direction, wave period, wave height)

ARROW - Usage & Examples

Identify synchronous and parametric roll resonance situation

Input of wave data from obeservation or wheather routing leads to identification of dangerous rolling situation

Easy to understand display of dangerous situation

One quick glance shows dangerous situation due to unique color graphic

No direct connection to ships hardware neccessary

Software can be installed on differnt laptops/PC aboard ship and can be used from different persons.
