Wave-Induced Motions on a Laterally Drifting Ship

摘要

Numerical solution of strip theory equations is used for the calculation of hydrodynamic forces and wave-induced ship motions taking into account lateral drift. Calculated motions for various drift angles are compared with experiments for the container ship S-175. The results show that the presented method captures the effect of drift on the wave-induced ship motions, and that this effect is not negligible.
