Motions, Wave Loads and Added Resistance in Waves of Two Wigley Hull Forms

摘要

Model experiments with two mathematically defined hull forms to determine the motions, wave loads and added resistance in regular head waves has been carried out. In addition forced oscillation experiments in the heave and pitch mode have been performed to determine hydrodynamic mass and damping. The results provide data to compare with corresponding calculations of the dynamic behavior of such hull forms in waves.
