Basic “Recipe”
• Fundamental Math &v Science
v
– Newton’s 2nd Law, F = Ma
– Conservation of Angular Momentum
– Basic Fluid Mechanics
• Idealized System
Ship Heaving in waves Æ Mass Spring Dashpot system
• Mathematical Model
M&x&(t ) + Bx& (t ) + Cx (t ) = F (t )
• Behavior Prediction
– System analysis “tools”

Tools for Design


• Linear systems analysis
• Fourier Transforms, Transfer Function
• Probabilistic forecasting extreme events
(such as the 100 year wave and water on
deck)
• Wave forces on floating bodies
• Added mass and damping forces
• Equations of motion of a vessel in waves

Hydrodynamic Forces on Vessels
• Linear wave theory
• Strip theory – Added mass!!!
• Wave forces on bodies
• Viscous forces on bodies:
– Skin Friction Drag
– Vortex shedding, Vortex induced vibrations
• Viscous damping
