A Study on the Feasibility of Using Fractional Differential Equations for Roll Damping Models

An optimization algorithm has been developed to study the effectiveness of substituting time tested ODEs with FDEs as applied to ship motions, specifically with an eye toward modeling different forms of roll damping. Relations between the order of differentiation a and damping coefficient b in the F...
