A roll motion is a side-to-side or port-starboard tilting motion of the superstructure around this ...
Model of Emma Mærsk undergoing testing in a ship model basin. In marine engineering, a ship motion test is hydrodynamic test performed with ship models for the purpose of designing a new (full sized) ship, or refining the design of a ship to improve its performance at sea. [1] Tests are carried out in a ship model basin or "towing tank". [2]
