    Abstract
    In the recent years, different mathematical models have been suggested for maneuvering of displacement vessels that are capable of estimation of vessel maneuvers with acceptable precision. These mathematical models are based on determined hydrodynamic coefficients and their accuracy depends on the known coefficients used to solve the mathematical model. System identification methods are developed to calculate these coefficients utilizing input and output data obtained from different sources. In this research, a 4.36-m model of KRISO Container Ship (KCS) displacement vessel has been manufactured by fiberglass, and the maneuver turning tests have been carried by self-propulsion method.

    Abstract
    In the recent years, different mathematical models have been suggested for maneuvering of displacement vessels, which are capable to estimate maneuvering of the vessel with acceptable precision. But, simulation of planing craft maneuverability through a mathematical model has not been developed yet. In this paper, a mathematical model is developed for maneuvering of the planing craft by including the rudder forces and moments. Different maneuvers, such as straight-line stability, course keeping, and turning circle, are executed through the mathematical model. Simulation results are validated with the published experimental results and it is shown that they are in good agreement. Finally, the...
