With the aim of building a maneuvering model, the present work investigates the seakeeping performance of a benchmark azimuthing-stern drive (ASD) tug using both experimental and numerical means. Experimental tests were performed in a towing tank using a 1:9.78 scale model at Fr = 0.378 and 0.165.

An azimuth thruster is a configuration of marine propellers placed in pods that can be rotated to any horizontal angle , making a rudder redundant. These give ships better maneuverability than a fixed propeller and rudder system. Types of azimuth thrusters Azimuth.

These force coefficients are also a function of the angle of incidence of the current α c, with respect to the tug heading, defined according to the Oil Companies International Marine Forum (OCIMF, 2008) convention, with 0 ∘ being at the tugboat's stern, increasing counterclockwise.. Note that, when calculating the final current forces on the tugboat, one must assume that the tugboat is.
