Basic Relations of Strip Theory. Part 1: Radiation Problems

摘要

The report was prepared as a part of a project concerned with the use of the rudder for stabilizing the roll motion of displacement type ships. According to the modern comprehension of the problem, in a brief statement, the roll motion is understood to be a non-linear phenomenon coupled with at least two other modes of motion, i.e. sway and yaw, and strongly dependent upon viscous flow effects. Attention has also been paid to the stochastic character of the motion in a real seaway.
