A semi-empirical pod model for USCG icebreaker mackinaw. Part II. The model
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A semi-empirical pod model is developed based on experimental data for the USCGC Mackinaw to predict propulsion forces for the icebreaker driven by twin podded propulsors. The experiments are conducted in straight-ahead motion with the azimuth angle of one of the twin pods steered in a range from 0 to 180o. In this pod model, assumption was made to extend the test data to the full range of 360o azimuth angles and advance coefficients. Since all the tests are carried out in straight ahead motion only with a constant heading, analysis was performed to extend these functions to general cases of arbitrary planar motions. Three pod models were presented with varying degrees of complexity. Model I is the simplest model, applying the nondimensional longitudinal and transverse force coefficients obtained from the straight-ahead motion at known advance coefficient and azimuth angle directly to any motion. In Model II, the influence of geometrical drift angle local to the pods is added to Model I. In Model III, the influence of hull-pod interaction on the geometrical drift angle is added to further refine the model treatment. These models are implemented in the NRC/OCRE-RC’s in-house maneuvering simulation software OSIS-IHI and their validity assessed. The comparison of Model III with comprehensive model test and limited sea trial data shows good agreement. Based on the validation results, it is concluded that the final model (Model III) can be used successfully for motion simulation of pod-driven ships.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
