Chapter 1

Ship motion in regular seawaves

1.1 Coupling of different ship oscillations

The ship has generally six degrees of freedom which are called as surge ζ,sway η, heave ζ, heel (or roll) ϕ, yaw ϑ and pitch ψ (see Fig.1.1) for expla-nation of each oscillation motion). In this chapter we consider first the caseof the ship with zero forward speed. Generally, different ship oscillations arestrongly coupled. There are three sorts of coupling:

• hydrostatic coupling

• hydrodynamic coupling

• gyroscopics coupling

The hydrostatic coupling is illustrated in Fig.1.2. If the ship draught ischanged, the center of effort of vertical hydrostatic (floating) force is mov-ing usually towards the ship stern because the frames in the stern are morefull than those in the bow region. The displacement of the center of efforttowards the stern causes the negative pitch angle. Therefore, the heave os-cillations cause the pitch oscillations and vice versa. With the other words,the heave and pitch oscillations are coupled.

Hydrodynamic coupling can be illustrated when the ship is moving with ac-celeration in transverse direction (sway motion). Since the ship is asymmetricwith respect to the midships, such a motion is conducted with appearanceof the yaw moment. Therefore, the sway and yaw oscillations are hydrody-namically coupled.

11

Page 12: Ship Dynamics in Waves

According to gyroscopic effect, rotation on one axis of the turning aroundthe second axis wheel produced rotation of the third axis. This rule can beapplied to the ship. For instance, if the ship performs rolling motion andthe transverse force is acting on the ship, it starts to perform the pitch os-cillations. The gyroscopic effects are present in the equation system (1.13).They are represented in ”’i-th”’ force equation by products Vj 6=i ωm6=j 6=i andby products ωj 6=u ωm6=j 6=i in the ”’i-th”’ moment equation.

In this chapter we consider the ship oscillations with small amplitude. Forsuch oscillations the coupling mentioned above can be neglected.

1.2 Classification of forces

According to the tradition used in ship hydrodynamics since almost a hun-dred years, the forces acting upon the ship are subdivided into hydrostaticforces, radiation and diffraction forces. This subdivision can be derived for-mally utilizing the potential theory. The potential theory is still remainingthe theoretical basis for the determination of wave induced forces, since themost contribution to these forces is caused by processes properly describedby inviscid flow models.

Let us consider the plane progressive waves of amplitude A and direction ψware incident upon a ship, which moves in response to these waves. The shiposcillation caused by waves can be written in the form

ζj = ζ0j sinωt, j = 1, 2, ...6. (1.1)

The corresponding speeds of ship oscillations Uj, j = 1, 2, ...6 are:

Uj =dζjdt

= ζ0j ω cosωt, j = 1, 2, ...6. (1.2)

and accelerations:

aj =dUjdt

= −ω2ζ0j sinωt, j = 1, 2, ...6. (1.3)

Here ζ0j are small ship oscillations amplitudes and ω is the frequency. Within

the linear theory the ship oscillation frequency is equal to the incident wavefrequency. In what follows we use the linear theory and assume that the bothwaves and ship motion are small. The total potential ϕ can be written, usingthe superposition principle, in the form:

ϕ(x, y, z, t) =6∑j=1

Ujϕj(x, y, z) + AϕA(x, y, z) cosωt =

=

(6∑j=1

ζ0j ωϕj(x, y, z) + AϕA(x, y, z)

)cosωt

(1.4)

where

• ϕj(x, y, z) is the velocity potential of the ship oscillation in j-th motionwith the unit amplitude ζ0

j = 1 in the absence of incident waves,

13

Page 14: Ship Dynamics in Waves

• ϕA(x, y, z) is the potential taking the incident waves and their interac-tion with the ship into account.

The first potentials ϕj(x, y, z) describes the radiation problem , whereasthe second one the wave diffraction problem . The potentials ϕj(x, y, z)and ϕA are independent only in the framework of the linear theory assumingthe waves and ship motions are small. Within this theory ϕA is calculatedfor the ship fixed in position.

The potentials must satisfy the Laplace equation ∆ϕj = 0, ∆ϕA = 0 andappropriate boundary conditions. The boundary conditions to be imposedon the ship surface are the no penetration conditions (see also formulae 3.18in the Chapter 3 [6]):

• for radiation potentials

∂ϕ1

∂n= cos(n, x);

∂ϕ2

∂n= cos(n, y);

∂ϕ3

∂n= cos(n, z);

∂ϕ4

∂n= (y cos(n, z)− z cos(n, y));

∂ϕ5

∂n= (z cos(n, x)− x cos(n, z));

∂ϕ6

∂n= (x cos(n, y)− y cos(n, x)).

(1.5)

• for wave diffraction potentials

∂ϕA∂n

= 0 (1.6)

where n is the normal vector to the ship surface, directed into the body,(x, y, z) are the coordinates of a point on the ship surface. The r.h.s. of theconditions (1.5) is the normal components of the ship local velocities causedby particular oscillating motions.

The diffraction potential ϕA is decomposed in two parts

ϕA = ϕ∞ + ϕp (1.7)

which ϕ∞ is the potential of incident waves not perturbed by the ship pres-ence and ϕp is the perturbation potential describing the interaction between

14

Page 15: Ship Dynamics in Waves

the incident waves and the ship. The potential of regular waves ϕ∞ is known(see Chapter 6 in [6]). The boundary condition for ϕp on the ship surface is

∂ϕp∂n

= −∂ϕ∞∂n

(1.8)

Away from the ship the radiation potentials ϕj and the diffraction perturba-tion potential ϕp decay, i.e. ϕp −−−→

r→∞0, ϕj −−−→

r→∞0.

On the free surface the linearized mixed boundary condition (see formula (6.17)in [6]) reads

∂2ϕ

∂t2+ g

∂ϕ

∂z= 0 on z = 0. (1.9)

Substituting (1.4) in (1.9) yields for ϕj(x, y, z) and ϕA(x, y, z):

−ω2

gϕj +

∂ϕj∂z

= 0 on z = 0.

−ω2

gϕA +

∂ϕA∂z

= 0 on z = 0.

(1.10)

It is obvious from (1.10) that ϕj(x, y, z) and ϕA(x, y, z) depend on ω.Additionally in the wave theory the radiation condition is imposed statingthat the waves on the free surface caused by the potentials are radiated awayfrom the ship. The potentials introduced above can be found using panelmethods.

The force and the moment on the ship are determined by integrating thepressure over the wetted ship surface. The pressure can be found from theBernoulli equation written in the general form:

p+ρu2

2+ ρgz + ρ

∂ϕ

∂t= C(t) (1.11)

Here the potential is the potential of the perturbed motion. The constant C(t)which is the same for the whole flow domain is calculated from the conditionthat the pressure on the free surface far from the ship is constant and equalto the atmospheric pressure:

pa = C(t) (1.12)

Substituting (1.12) in (1.11) gives:

15

Page 16: Ship Dynamics in Waves

p− pa = −ρu2

2− ρgz − ρ∂ϕ

∂t(1.12a)

Remembering that the ship speed is zero and perturbation velocities as wellas the velocities caused by incident waves are small we neglect the first termin (1.12a):

p− pa = −ρ(∂ϕ

∂t+ gz

)(1.13)

Together with (1.4) it gives

p− pa = ρ

The forces and the moment are then calculated by integration of p− pa overthe wetted ship area

~F =

The normal vector direction in (1.15) is into the body. The vertical ordi-nate z of any point on the wetted area can be represented as the differencebetween the submergence under unperturbed free surface ζ and free surfaceelevation ζ0. Substituting (1.14) in (1.15) one obtains

(1.16)

Four integrals in (1.16) represent four different contributions to the totalforce:

• the hydrostatic component (the first term) acting on the ship oscillatingon the unperturbed free surface (in calm water),

16

Page 17: Ship Dynamics in Waves

• the hydrostatic component arising due to waves (the second term),

• the damping and the added mass component (the third term) and

• the hydrodynamic wave exciting force (the fourth term).

The moment is expressed through similar components.

The third term describes the force acting on the ship oscillating in calm water.The last term arises due to incident waves acting on the ship. Within thelinear theory keeping only the terms proportional to the amplitude A andneglecting small terms of higher orders proportional to ∼ An, n > 1 one canshow that the integration in the last term can be done over the wetted areacorresponding to the equilibrium state. Thus, the last term describes theforce induced by waves on the ship at rest.

1.3 Radiation force components

Let us consider the second term of the force

(1.18)

As shown by Haskind [17], the hydrodynamic coefficient cji is represented asthe sum of two coefficients:

cji = µji −1

ωλji

The term − 1ωλji has been introduced to take the fact into account that the

force due to influence of the free surface depends not only on ω2 but alsoon ω. The force is then

F2i = −6∑j=1

17

Page 18: Ship Dynamics in Waves

As seen from (1.19) the first component of the force is proportional to theacceleration aj whereas the second one is proportional to the velocity Uj.The first component is called the added mass component, whereas the sec-ond one- the damping component.

Using the Green’s theorem, Haskind derived the following symmetry condi-tions for the case zero forward speed:

cji = cij ⇒

{µji = µij

λji = λij

1.3.1 Hydrodynamic damping

There are two reasons of the hydrodynamic damping of the ship oscillationson the free surface. First reason is the viscous damping which is proportional

to the square of the ship velocity ∼ CDjρU2

j

2S. Within the linear theory this

term proportional to the amplitude (ζ0j )2 is neglected. The main contribution

to the damping is done by the damping caused by radiated waves. Whenoscillating on the free surface the ship generates waves which have the me-chanic potential and kinetic energy. This wave energy is extracted from thekinetic energy of the ship. Ship transfers its energy to waves which carry itaway from the ship. With the time the whole kinetic energy is radiated awayand the ship oscillations decay.

Similarly to the added mass one can introduce the damping coefficients. Thefull mechanic energy in the progressive wave with the amplitude A is (seechapter 6.4 in [6])

E =1

2ρgA2 (1.20)

per wave length.

The energy transported by waves through sides 1 and 2 (see Fig. 1.3) pertime unit is

δE = 21

2ρgA2U (1.21)

where U is the wave group velocity. The damping coefficient is defined as

δE = λijU2j (1.22)

18

where λij is the coefficient of damping in i-th direction when the ship oscil-

lates in j-th motion. U2j is the time averaged square of the ship oscillations

The damping coefficient λij depends on the square of the ratio of the waveamplitude to the ship oscillation amplitude causing the wave.

The damping coefficient of slender body can be found by integration of damp-ing coefficients of ship frames along the ship length

The damping coefficients of different frames are shown in Fig. 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7and 1.8 taken from [2]. Solid lines show results obtained from the potentialtheory. Generally, the results show the applicability of the potential theoryfor calculation of damping coefficients. The accuracy of prediction is notsatisfactory for the box B/T=8 in heave and B/T=2 in sway because of theflow separation at corners which has a sufficient impact on hydrodynamicsin these two cases. The agreement for λ44 is not satisfactory (see Fig. 1.8)because of dominating role of the viscosity for this type of damping. For thesemi circle frame the damping coefficient in roll is zero λ44 = 0 within theinviscid theory. One hundred per cent of the roll damping is due to viscosity.Usually λ44 are determined using viscous flow models. It is remarkable,that the damping coefficients depend on the frequency and amplitude (seeFig. 1.8).

1.3.2 Added mass component

When the ship oscillates, the force acting on the ship contains the componentassociated with the added mass like in every case of accelerated body motion.

used. The problem is sufficiently simplified in two limiting cases ω → 0 andω →∞. The boundary condition (1.10) can be written in the form:

∂ϕj∂z

= 0 for ω → 0,on z = 0.

ϕj = 0 for ω →∞.(1.27)

The conventional mirroring method can be used for the case ω → 0 (Fig. 1.9).The mirroring frame is moving in the same direction for surge, sway and yaw.For the heave, roll and pitch the fictitious frame is moving in the opposite di-rection. At the free surface, these tricks make the normal components of thetotal velocity induced by the actual and the fictitious frames zero, i.e.

∂ϕj∂z

= 0on z = 0.

In the case ω → ∞ the tangential component of the total velocity should

be zero, since ϕj = 0 ⇒ ϕj =x∫−∞

∂ϕj∂xdx = 0 ⇒ ∂ϕj

∂x= 0 on z = 0. The

modified mirroring method is implemented for the case ω → ∞ (Fig. 1.10).The fictitious frame is moving in the opposite direction for surge, sway andyaw. For the heave, roll and pitch the fictitious frame is moving in thesame direction as that of the original frame. These tricks make the normalcomponents of the total velocity induced by the actual and the fictitiousframes zero, i.e.

∂ϕj∂z

= 0 at the free surface on z = 0.

Using mirroring method the added mass can be found using the panel with-out explicit consideration of the free surface since it is taken into account byfictitious frames.

The added mass of slender body can be found by integration of added mass

The added mass of different frames are shown in Fig. 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.7 and 1.8taken from [2]. Like in case of damping coefficients the results of the potentialtheory are not acceptable for roll added mass because of dominating role ofthe viscosity.

1.4 Hydrostatic component

Let us the ship is in the equilibrium state. The ship weight is counterbalancedby the hydrostatic lift. Due to small heave motion the equilibrium is violatedand an additional hydrostatic force appears. The vertical component of thisadditional hydrostatic force can be calculated analytically from (1.16) for thecase of small heave motion

Mϕ = −ρg∇0GMγϕ, (1.30)

Mϑ = −ρg∇0GMLψ, (1.31)

where

ϕ and ψ are the roll and pitch angle respectively,

GMγ is the transverse metacentric height,

GML is the longitudinal metacentric height and

∇0 is the ship displacement.

1.5 Wave exciting force

The wave exciting force ~Fper = ρωA sinωt∫S

~n(ϕ∞+ϕp)dS contains two com-

ponents. The first component, determined by the integration of the incidentpotential ϕ∞, ρωA sinωt

the Froude-Krylow force. This force called as the Smith effect is calculated bythe integration of wave induced pressure as if the ship is fully transparent for

24

Page 25: Ship Dynamics in Waves

incident waves. The full Froude-Krylow force contains additionally the hydro-static force arising due to change of the submerged part of the ship caused bywaves (the second term in (1.16)). The second component ρωA sinωt

∫S

~nϕPdS

takes the diffraction effect (the contribution of the scattering potential ϕp topressure distribution) into account. As shown by Peters and Stokes theFroude Krylov force is a dominating part of the wave induced forces for os-cillations of slender ships in directions j=1 (surge), 3 (heave) and 5 (pitch).

1.6 Motion equations

The linearized decoupled motion equations of the ship oscillations are writtenin the form

Izzϑ = −A66ϑ −B66ϑ +Mϑ,per(t).

(1.32)

The weight is not present in the second equation of the system (1.32) be-cause it is counterbalanced by the hydrostatic force at rest. The additionalhydrostatic force −ρgAWP ζ is the difference between the weight and the fullhydrostatic force. The system (1.32) is written in the principle axes coordi-nate system [7].

1.7 Haskind’s relation

One of the most outstanding results in the ship oscillations theory is therelation derived by Max Haskind who developed in 1948 the famous linearhydrodynamic theory of ship oscillations. Haskind shown how to calculatethe wave induced hydrodynamic force utilizing the radiation potentials ϕjand the potential of incident waves ϕ∞. The determination of the diffractionpotential ϕp what is quite difficult can be avoided using this relation whichis valid for waves of arbitrary lengths.

The calculation of the integral (1.37) is a complicated problem because theincident waves don’t decay away from the ship and the integral (1.37) shouldbe calculated over both the surface far from the ship and the ship wettedsurface. Note that the potential ϕ∞ does not decay away from the ship. Themethod of the stationary phase [8] allows one to come to the following forceexpression using the Haskind’s relation (1.37):

Chapter 2

Free oscillations with smallamplitudes

2.1 Introduction

Let us consider a ship in the equilibrium position at calm water condition.The ship has zero forward speed. If a perturbation acts on the ship, itperforms oscillating motions in three directions:

• heave,

• roll (heel),

• pitch.

Yaw, surge and sway motions did not arise at calm water conditions. Thereason is the presence of restoring hydrostatic forces in heave, roll and pitchdirections.

The motion equations of the free oscillation read:

(m+ A33) ζ +B33ζ + ρgAWP ζ = 0,

(Ixx + A44) ϕ+B44ϕ+ ρg∇0GMγϕ = 0,

(Iyy + A55) ψ +B55ψ + ρg∇0GMLψ = 0.

(2.1)

In ship theory the equations (2.1) are written in the normalized form:

ζ + 2νζ ζ + ω2ζζ = 0,

ϕ+ 2νϕϕ+ ω2ϕϕ = 0,

ψ + 2νψψ + ω2ψψ = 0,

are the eugen frequencies of non damped oscillations.

The equations (2.2) are fully independent of each other. The solutions of theequations (2.2) written in the general form:

ξ + 2νξ + ω2ξ = 0 (2.5)

is given as:

ξ = Cept (2.6)

Substitution of (2.6) into (2.5) yields the algebraic equation

p2 + 2νp+ ω2 = 0 (2.7)

which solution is

p1,2 = −ν ±√ν2 − ω2 (2.8)

If the system has no damping the solution is

p1,2 = iω → ξ = Ceiωt = C(cosωt+ i sinωt) (2.9)

The system oscillates with the constant amplitude and frequency ω. That iswhy the frequency ω is referred to as the eigenfrequency.

For real ships the damping coefficient is smaller than the eigenfrequency ν < ωand the equation (2.8) has two solutions:

p1 = −ν + i√ω2 − ν2 = −ν + iω,

p2 = −ν − i√ω2 − ν2 = −ν − iω,

(2.10)

In turn, the solution of the differential equation is

ξ = Ce−νte±iω = Ce−νt(cos ωt± i sin ωt) (2.11)

It describes damped oscillations with decaying amplitude which decrease isgoverned by the factor e−νt, e−νt −−−→

t→∞0. The rate of the decay is charac-

terized by the damping coefficient ν. The frequency of damped oscillationsis

ω =√ω2 − ν2 < ω (2.12)

Due to damping the frequency of the oscillations is shorter whereas the periodis longer:

Chapter 3

Ship oscillations in smalltransverse waves (beam see)

The formalism developed in this chapter is based on the following assump-tions:

• waves are regular,

• waves amplitudes related to the wave lengths are small. Wave slope issmall.

• wave length is much larger than the ship width,

• The ship has zero forward speed.

From the first two assumptions it follows, that the collective action of waveson ship can be considered through the superposition principle. Therefore,the theory can be developed for the interaction of the ship with a single wavewith given length and amplitude. The effects of different waves are thensummed. For the case of small waves the oscillations are decoupled. Thehydrodynamic, hydrostatic and gyroscopic coupling effects are neglected.

The perturbation forces (see the last column in the equation system (1.32))arise due to wave induced change of the hydrostatic forces and due to hy-drodynamic effects caused by orbital motion in waves. The orbital motioncauses the hydrodynamic pressure change which results in the wave inducedhydrodynamic forces.

In each frame, the pressure gradient induced by waves is assumed to beconstant along the frame contour and equal to the pressure gradient at thecentre A on the free surface. When considering the roll and pitch oscillations

37

Page 38: Ship Dynamics in Waves

in transverse waves it is additionally assumed that the ship draught change ζand the ship slope relatively to the free surface are constant along the ship.

The wave ordinate is given by the formula derived for the progressive wave(see Chapter 6 in [6])

ζ0 = A sin (ωt+ kχ) (3.1)

where A is the amplitude, χ is the wave propagation direction and ω is thefrequency.

In this section the incident waves are perpendicular to the ship (see Fig.3.1).The wave propagation direction is in η direction, i.e. χ = η. The waves induceroll and heave oscillations. The curvature of the free surface is neglected, thefree surface is considered as the plane performing angular oscillations andtranslational oscillations in vertical direction.

Figure 3.1:

3.1 Hydrostatic forces and moments

The hydrostatic forces during the heave oscillations are calculated neglectingthe wave surface slope. The hydrostatic force acting on the ship with draftincrement ζ in the wave with the ordinate ζ0 (see Fig.3.2) is

F hydrζ = −ρgAWP (ζ − ζ0) = −ρgAWP (ζ − A sinωt) (3.2)

where η = 0 at the point A. Since the wave slope is neglected, the de-pendence of ζ0 on ζ is not considered. The first part −ρgAWP ζ is the

38

The additional hydrostatic moment is determined from the analysis of theFigure 3.3.

gA cosωt = αA cosωt (3.3)

αA is the amplitude of the angular water plane oscillations. The hydrostaticpressure increases linearly in direction perpendicular to the free surface plane.Therefore, the restoring moment is the same as in the case if the free surface ishorizontal and the ship is inclined at the angle ϕ−α. The restoring momentis known from the ship hydrostatics

Mhydrϕ = −ρg∇0GMγ(ϕ− α) = −ρg∇0GMγ(ϕ− αA cosωt) (3.4)

The first part −ρg∇0GMγϕ is the restoring hydrostatic moment, whereas thesecond part ρg∇0GMγαA cosωt is the wave induced hydrostatic moment.

3.2 Hydrodynamic Krylov - Froude force

Hydrodynamic forces arise due to wave induced hydrodynamic pressures.From the Bernoulli equation the pressure is (see (1.13)).

p = −ρu2

2− ρgz − ρ∂ϕ

∂t+ pa (3.5)

The constant pressure pa does not need to be considered since being inte-grated over the ship wetted surface results in zero force and moment. Thefirst term in (3.5) is neglected within the linear theory under consideration.The second term results in force and moment considered above in the sec-tion 3.1. The remaining term punst = −ρ∂ϕ

∂tis responsible for hydrodynamic

effects caused by waves. If the interaction between the ship and incidentwaves is neglected (Krylov - Froude formalism) the potential can be writtenas the potential of uniform unsteady parallel flow:

ϕ = uζ(t)ζ (3.6)

where uζ(t) is unsteady velocity of the flow in the wave

uζ(t) =dζ0

dt(3.7)

Since the unsteady pressure punst = −ρ∂ϕ∂t

= −ρζ ∂uζ∂t

is zero at ζ = 0 thetotal pressure is equal to the atmospheric pressure p = pa (see (3.5)). Thegradient of the hydrodynamic pressure in vertical direction reads:

3.3 Full Krylov - Froude force and moment

The full Froude Krylov force takes the form:

F lζ = ρgAWPA sinωt−mω2A sinωt = ρgAWPA sinωt+mζ0 (3.14)

The first term is caused by hydrostatic effect, whereas the second one byhydrodynamic effects. The second term is referred in the literature to as theSmith effect.The full Froude Krylov moment contains only the wave induced hydrostaticcomponent:

M lϕ = ρg∇0GMγαA cosωt (3.15)

3.4 Force and moment acting on the ship frame

in accelerated flow

These forces are determined using the concept of the relative motion. Letus ζj is a ship displacement in j-th direction. As it has been explained in pre-vious chapters, the force acting on the body moving with the acceleration ζjin a liquid at rest is equal to the product of added mass with the accelerationtaken with opposite sign, i.e. −Ajj ζj. If the liquid moves with the accelera-tion ζjL relative to motionless body, the force acting on the body is towardsthe acceleration direction, i.e. Ajj ζjL. If both body and liquid move with ac-celerations the total force is −Ajj(ζj− ζjL). Similarly, the damping force canintroduced being proportional to the relative velocity −Bjj(ζj − ζjL). Thefirst components of both forces −Ajj ζj and −Bjj ζj are already representedby the first and the second columns in the motion equations (1.32). The sec-ond components Ajj ζjL and Bjj ζjL represent the hydrodynamic forces dueto interaction between the incident waves and floating body. Rememberingthat ζjL = ωA cosωt and ζjL = −ω2A sinωt we obtain the lift force causedby the interaction between the ship and incident wave:

F 2ζ = −A33ω

2A sinωt+B33ωA cosωt (3.16)

In roll oscillations the ship moves with the angular velocity ϕ and angularacceleration ϕ. The free surface oscillates with the angular velocity α andacceleration α. Taking α from (3.3) we obtain the roll moment caused bythe interaction between the ship and incident wave:

3.5 Full wave induced force and moment

In the section 1.5 we divided the wave induced forces into the Froude Krylovpart and the interaction force. Commonly, the Froude Krylov force is thedominating part of the wave induced forces.

To calculate the full wave induced force we have to note that the Smith effectis already represented in the force Ajj ζjL +Bjj ζjL. All hydrodynamic effectsare taken into account. Only the hydrostatic part of the Froude Krylov forceshould be added to Ajj jL+Bjj ζjL to get the full wave induced force:

Fζ,per =[ρgAWP − ω2A33

]A sinωt+B33ωA cosωt (3.18)

The full moment is the sum of (3.15) and (3.17):

3.6 Equations of ship heave and roll oscilla-

tions

Substitution of all forces derive above into the original differential equationsresults in two following decoupled ordinary differential equations

(m+ A33)(ζ − ζ0

)+B33

(ζ − ζ0

)+ ρgAWP (ζ − ζ0) = −mζ0 (3.20)

(Ixx + A44) (ϕ− α) +B44 (ϕ− α) + ρg∇0GMγ (ϕ− α) = −Ixxα. (3.21)

The solution of both equations can be represented as the sum ζ = ζinh+ζfreeϕ = ϕinh + ϕfree, where ζfree and ϕfree are free heave oscillations:ϕfree = Ce−νϕt (cos ωϕt± i sin ωϕt), ζfree = Ce−νζt (cos ωζt± i sin ωζt) satis-fying the homogeneous equations:

(m+ A33) ζ +B33ζ + ρgAWP ζ = 0

(Ixx + A44) ϕ+B44ϕ+ ρg∇0GMγϕ = 0.

When the free oscillations decay ϕfree, ζfree −−−→t→∞

0, the solutions of the

equation (3.20) and (3.21) tend to the solutions of inhomogeneous equations:

(m+ A33) ζ +B33ζ + ρgAWP ζ = A33ζ0 +B33ζ0 + ρgAWP ζ0

(Ixx + A44) ϕ+B44ϕ+ ρg∇0GMγϕ = A44α +B44α + ρg∇0GMγα.(3.22)

43

Page 44: Ship Dynamics in Waves

The inhomogeneous equation (3.21) is written in terms of relative roll an-gle ϕ(r) = ϕ− α in the normalized form:

ϕ(r) + 2νϕϕ(r) + ω2

ϕϕ(r) =

1 + kϕαA cosωt, (3.23)

where kϕ = A44/Ixx. The solution of (3.23) is seeking in the form

ϕ(r) = ϕ(r)A cos (ωt− δϕ) (3.24)

Substituting (3.24) into (3.23) and separating terms proportional to cosωtand sinωt gives two equations:

Figure 3.4: Ship as linear system

45

Page 46: Ship Dynamics in Waves

The ship can be considered as a system with the waves as input and theresulting motion as the output (Fig.3.4). As seen from (3.31) this system islinear for small amplitude oscillations. In terms of linear system theory theformula (3.31) reads

output

input= 1 + enhancement (3.33)

The linear system is time invariant. The output produced by a given in-put is independent of the time at which the input is applied. The function1 + enhancement which characterizes the system response in the frequencydomain is called the frequency response function.

The enhancement functionω2ϕ/(1+kϕ)√

(1−ω2ϕ)

2+4ν2ϕω

goes to zero if referred frequency

becomes zero. At very large frequencies ω →∞,ω2ϕ/(1+kϕ)√

(1−ω2ϕ)

2+4ν2ϕω

→ 1/ (1 + kϕ).

The enhancement is maximum in the resonance case ωϕ = ωωϕ

= 1√1−2ν2ϕ

ω = ωϕ√1−2νϕ

. Strictly speaking the resonance frequency ω = ωϕ√1−2ν2ϕ

is not

equal to the eigenfrequency ωϕ, i.e. ω > ωϕ. Since νϕ is small, this discrep-

ancy can be neglected ω ≈ ωϕ. Typical dependence of the ratioϕ(r)A

αAon the

referred frequency is presented in Fig. 3.5.

Figure 3.5: Response function versus referred frequency

Typical dependence of the phase displacement on the referred frequency ispresented in Fig. 3.6.

46

Page 47: Ship Dynamics in Waves

Figure 3.6: Phase displacement versus referred frequency

The phase displacement is equal to π/2 in the resonance case ωϕ = 1 forevery damping. For ωϕ = ω

ωϕ→ 0 the phase displacement disappears. For

ωϕ = ωωϕ→ ∞ the phase displacement tends to π. The largest relative

roll angle occurs in the resonance case either at wave crests or at wavetroughs (Fig. 3.7). Indeed, the magnitude of the relative roll angle in the

resonance case ϕ(r) = ϕ(r)A cos

Similar results are obtained from analysis of the heave oscillations formu-

3.8 Sway ship oscillations in beam sea

The equation describing the sway oscillations is (see the second equation inthe system (1.32)):

mη = −A22η −B22η + Fη,per(t) (3.34)

The wave exciting force Fη,per(t) consists of two components of hydrostaticand hydrodynamics nature. As seen from Fig. 3.9 the hydrostatic force is

F hydη = −ρg∇0α = −ρ∇0ω

2A cosωt = −mω2A cosωt (3.35)

form (see formula (6.23) in [6]):

η0(y, z) = Aωekz cos(ky − ωt),η0(0, 0) = Aω cos(ωt)⇒ η0(0, 0) = A sin(ωt)

η0 = −Aω2 cosωt

(3.36)

The hydrodynamic component of the wave induced force is written in thesimilar form as (3.16):

F 2η = A22η0 +B22η0 (3.37)

Substitution of (3.37) and (3.35) into (3.34) gives:

mη = −A22η −B22η +mη0 + A22η0 +B22η0 (3.38)

or(m+ A22)(η − η0) +B22(η − η0) = 0 (3.39)

The solution of the equation is written in the form:

(η − η0) = Ceλt (3.40)

which substitution into (3.39) allows one to find λ

λ = − B22

m+ A22

(3.41)

The parameter λ is positive. Therefore, (η−η0) = Ceλt −−−→t→∞

As soon the transitional process is finished, the ship oscillates together withthe wave

η = η0 = A sinωt (3.42)

3.9 Ship oscillations at finite beam to wave

length ratio and draught to length ratio

The analysis presented above was carried out for the case of a very long wave,i.e. both the beam to length ratio B/L and the draught to length ratio T/Lare small. The results for roll oscillation obtained for the case B/L ≈ 0,T/L ≈ 0 are extended to the case B/L ∼ 0(1), T/L ∼ 0(1) using reductioncoefficients. According to this traditional in shipbuilding approach the waveamplitude is multiplied with the reduction coefficient κ, i.e.

Ared = κA (3.43)

The ship oscillations at B/L ∼ 0(1), T/L ∼ 0(1) are smaller than these atB/L ≈ 0, T/L ≈ 0 due to two reasons

49

Page 50: Ship Dynamics in Waves

• Hydrostatic force is smaller because the submerged volume is smallerdue to wave surface curvature,

• Hydrodynamic force is smaller because the velocities caused by theorbital motion are not constant as assumed above. They decay withthe increasing submergence as ∼ exp(−kz).

The first reduction factor is mainly due to the finite beam to length ratioB/L ∼ 0(1).

Let us consider first the reduction coefficient for the heave oscillations. Thefactor κBζ considers the reduction of the hydrostatic force due to the finitebeam to length ratio. To estimate κBζ the fixed ship is considered at the timeinstant ωt = π/2 when the wave crest is in the symmetry plane (Fig. 3.10).

The second reduction factor is mainly due to the finite draught to length ratioT/L ∼ 0(1). The factor κTζ considers the reduction of the hydrodynamicforce due to the finite draught to length ratio. The reduction coefficient isgiven here without derivation:

where χ is the coefficient of the lateral area χ = ALA/(LT ).The total reduction coefficient κζ is calculated as the product of κBζ and κTζneglecting their mutual influence:

κζ = κBζκTζ (3.49)

The formula (3.49) is valid at LB> 4, L

T> 8. For heave calculations one can

use the formula (3.29) with Aκζ instead of A.

Reduction coefficient of the roll oscillations can be calculated from the ex-pression gained from regression of experimental data:

Ship oscillations in small headwaves

4.1 Exciting forces and ship oscillations

Let us consider the ship oscillations in small head waves coming from thestern (ψwave = 0◦), where ψwave is the wave course angle. The wave ordinate,wave orbital motion velocity and acceleration are:

ζ0 = A sin(ωt− kξ) (4.1)

ζ0 = ωA cos(ωt− kξ) (4.2)

ζ0 = −ω2A sin(ωt− kξ) (4.3)

Figure 4.1: Illustration of the ship in head waves

Within the linear theory of ship oscillation the ship is considered at rest. Theperturbation force acting on the section AB (Fig. 4.1) can be represented asthe sum of

• the hydrostatic Froude Krylov force ρgB(ξ)ζ0(ξ),

• the hydrodynamic force A33ζ0(ξ) +B33ζ0(ξ)

frame. IntegratingdFζ,perdξ

over the ship length we obtain the whole waveinduced force Fζ,per. If the ship is symmetric with respect to the midshipB(ξ) = B(−ξ), Af (ξ) = Af (−ξ), A33(ξ) = A33(−ξ), B33(ξ) = B33(−ξ), theterms with sin(kξ) are neglected and the formula for Fζ,per is simplified to:

Substitution (4.5) and (4.7) in the third and sixth equations of the sys-tem (1.3.2) gives:

(Iyy + A55) ψ +B55ψ + ρg∇0GMLψ = Mψ,per sin (ωt− δψ,per) (4.12)

Dividing both equations by the coefficient of the first term one obtains:

ζ + 2νζ ζ + ω2ζζ = fζ sin (ωt− δζ,per)

ψ + 2νψψ + ω2ψψ = fψ sin (ωt− δψ,per)

Solution of (4.13) is seeking in the form

ζ = ζA sin(ωt− δζ,per − δperζ

), ψ = ψA sin

(ωt− δψ,per − δperψ

). (4.14)

After some simple manipulations the amplitudes of the heave and pitch oscil-lations as well as the phase displacements are obtained from (4.13) and (4.14):

In the resonance case the phase displacement is equal to π/2, i.e.δperζ = π/2 in case ωζ = ω and δperψ = π/2 in case ωψ = ω.

4.2 Estimations of slamming and deck flood-

ing

Results of ship oscillations obtained in the previous section can be used forpractically useful estimations. For instance, we can estimate the slammingand deck flooding. Using the relations derived above

ζ0 = A sin(ωt−kξ), ζ = ζA sin(ωt−δζ,per−δperζ ), ψ = ψA sin(ωt−δψ,per−δperψ )(4.17)

one can display the ship positions in head waves as shown in Fig. 4.2

Figure 4.2: Position of ship at different time instants in a head wave

Let us represent the formulae (4.17) in the form:

ζ0 = A sinωt cos kξ − A cosωt sin kξ

ζ = ζA sinωt cos(δζ,per + δperζ

)− ζA cosωt sin

The local change of the draft is:

z(x) = ζ0 − ξ + xψ = f1(x) cosωt+ f2(x) sinωt (4.19)

where

f1(x) = A cos kξ + ζA sin(δζ,per + δperζ )− xψA sin(δψ,per + δperψ )

f2(x) = A sin kξ − ζA cos(δζ,per + δperζ ) + xψA cos(δψ,per + δperψ )(4.20)

A sample of the curve y = z(x) is shown in Fig. 4.3. The maximum draft isthen

zmax(x) =√f 2

1 (x) + f 22 (x) (4.21)

The curve y = +zmax(x) shows the contour of maximum wave elevationsalong the ship board in the symmetry plane whereas the curve y = −zmax(x)the minimum wave elevations. Both curves are symmetric with respect tothe equilibrium water plane.

• Deck flooding takes place if zmax(x) > H, where H is the board height.

• Slamming takes place if zmax(x) > T

There three zones limited by curves y = ±zmax(x) can be distinguished alongthe ship board (see Fig. 4.3):

• Allways dry area (white),

• Allways wetted area (red),

• Intermediate area (orange).

Seasickness caused by shiposcillations

Symptoms of the seasickness are giddiness (Schwindelgefuhl), headache (Kopf-schmerz), sickness (Ubelkeit) and vomiting (Erbrechen). The seasicknessis the reason of work capacity reduction, memory decline (Ruckgang derGedachtnisleistung), motion coordination (Bewegungskoordinierung), reduc-tion of muscular strength, etc. Diagram of Sain Denice (Fig. 5.1) shows theinfluence of the vertical acceleration on the seasickness depending on theoscillation period.For the irregular sea state the similar diagram was proposed by Krappinger(Fig. 5.2) who estimated the percentage of people suffering from the seasick-ness depending on the root mean square deviation and frequency.

According to standards developed in US Navy the oscillations have no sig-nificant effect on the work capacity if the amplitude of the roll oscillationsis under eight degrees, the amplitude of pitch oscillation is below three de-grees, the vertical accelerations does not exceed 0.4 g whereas the transversalaccelerations 0.2 g. The upper limit of the roll angle for the deck works is20 degrees which corresponds to the reduction of the work capacity of about50 percent.

At present the seasickness has insufficiently been studied in medical science.As shown in the study by Vosser, the seasickness is developed at a certainlevel of overloads and then can remain even the ship oscillations decay. Itis shown in diagram 5.3 presenting the number of passenger on a cruiseliner nδ/n suffering from the seasickness during eighty hours of the journey.

At the journey beginning the vertical acceleration ¨ζ/g was less than 0.1 andonly 16 percent of passenger were sick. As soon as the vertical acceleration

61

Page 62: Ship Dynamics in Waves

Figure 5.1: Influence of the vertical acceleration on the seasickness dependingon the oscillation period

attained 0.4g more than 80 percent of passengers were sick. In spite of theship oscillation decay after 30 hours of the way the number of sick passen-gers is not reduced. On the contrary this number is slightly increased duringthe next 24 hours. Only after 36 hours the seasickness retreated. The nextdiagram 5.4 illustrates the fact that the adaption to seasickness is relativelyweak.

Diathesis to seasickness depends on the individual properties of organisms.There are many people who had never had problems with seasickness. How-ever there are experienced seamen who suffers from this sickness the wholeprofessional life.

A feature of the irregular waves distinguishing them from regular ones isthe non-recurrence of their form in time (Fig. 6.2). The following relationsbetween wave lengths L and wave heights h are recommended in practicalcalculations for swell:

Within the linear theory the irregular waves can be represented as the super-position of regular waves with different amplitudes, frequencies and courseangles, as shown in Fig. 6.3.

6.1.1 Wave ordinates as stochastic quantities

The wave ordinate is the stochastic function with a certain probability densityfunction (see Fig. 6.1). The p.d.f. distribution of the real irregular waveordinates is Gaussian. i.e,

where ζ0 is the mathematical expectation (in our case ζ0 = 0), σ is thestandard deviation:

σ2 = (ζ − ζ0)2 = Dζ (6.2)

Dζ is the dispersion. Probability P (ζ1 < ζ < ζ2) of the event, that theordinate lies in the range between ζ1 and ζ2 is then

When evaluating the wave height an observer determines the middle heightof one third of the highest waves. This height is referred to as the significantwave height and designated as h1/3.

Dependence between the dispersion and the significant wave is

Dζ = 0.063h21/3 (6.11)

6.1.2 Wave spectra

Irregular waves are considered as the superposition of infinite number ofregular waves of different frequencies, amplitudes and course angles (Fig. 6.3).

Page 69: Ship Dynamics in Waves

According to this concept the wave elevation ζ(x, y, t) is represented in formof Fourier - Stieltjes integral:

ζ(x, y, t) = Real

∫∫dA(ω, χ)exp[−ik(x cosχ+ y sinχ) + iωt+ δ(ω, χ)]

(6.12)Here ω is the wave frequency, k is the wave number k = ω2/g, χ is thewave course angle and δ(ω, χ) is the phase angle. The quantity dA(ω, χ, t) isthe function of the amplitude corresponding to the wave propagating at thecourse angle χ < χ < χ + ∆χ with the frequency ω < ω < ω + ∆ω. Themean square elevation is obtained from time averaging the quadrat of theelevation:

Sζ(ω, χ)dωdχ (6.15)

we introduce the spectral density of the irregular waves Sζ(ω, χ) which isthe contribution of the wave with the frequency ω < ω < ω + ∆ω and the

69

Page 70: Ship Dynamics in Waves

course angle χ < χ < χ + ∆χ to the irregular wave energy. Commonly thefunction Sζ(ω, χ) is called shortly the wave spectrum.

At present there is no much information on the energy distribution both onthe frequency and the course angle. The typical measurements with buoydo not provide information about the dependency of wave elevations on thecourse angle. In the ship theory is assumed that the irregular waves have apreferential propagation direction and the wave have long wave crest. Thewaves are approximately two dimensional. Such rough sea can fully be char-acterized by the frequency spectrum Sζ(ω) defining as

Sζ(ω) =

2π∫0

Sζ(ω, χ)dχ (6.16)

The spectrum of the wave state Sζ(ω) shows the distribution of the wave en-ergy on frequencies. The two dimensional spectrum Sζ(ω, χ) can be restoredfrom the one dimensional one Sζ(ω) using the following simple approxima-tion:

Sζ(ω, χ) =4

3πSζ(ω) cos4 χ

To determine the spectrum, the wave ordinates are measured and representedin Fourier series. The energy ∆E(ω < ω < ω + ∆ω) is calculated as thesquared wave ordinate for each interval of the frequencies ∆ω. The spectraldensity of waves is calculated as

Sζ(ω) = lim∆ω→∞

6.2 Calculation of ship oscillations in irregu-

lar waves

Using the assumption of small waves we can substitute the superposition ofregular waves into equations (3.20) and (3.21) describing the heave and rolloscillations. Since the equations are linear the responses of the ship to eachregular wave can be calculated separately. In this case one can obtain thehistory of oscillations in time.

However, from point of view of practical applications only the statistical pa-rameters of oscillations are of importance. To determine them, the ship isconsidered as the dynamic system. The seaway is the input which is trans-formed by the ship into oscillations considered as the output. In the statisti-cal theory shown, that if the input signal has the Gaussian p.d.f. distributionthe output signal has also the Gaussian p.d.f. distribution. With the otherwords, the ship oscillation parameters (roll angle, etc) obey the normal Gaus-sian law whereas the amplitudes of oscillation parameters satisfy the Raleighlaw. The only unknown value in these distributions laws is the dispersion D.

Let us consider the roll oscillations of a ship with the zero forward speed.As shown in the previous lectures the ratio of the roll oscillations amplitude(output signal) to the wave slope amplitude (input signal) is given by theformula

ϕ(r)A

αA=ϕA − αAαA

αA=

(1− ω2)2 + 4ν2ω2+ 1 = Φ(ω)

72

Page 73: Ship Dynamics in Waves

where

Φ(ω) =ω2/(1 + kϕ)√

(1− ω2)2 + 4ν2ω2+ 1 (6.26)

is the so called response function. Since the wave spectral density is propor-tional to the wave ordinates squared and taking the superposition principleinto account, we obtain the following relation between the spectral densityof the seaway and the spectral density of oscillations

Sϕ(ω) = Φ2(ω)Sζ(ω) (6.27)

or

Sϕ(ω) = Sζ(ω)

[ω2/(1 + kϕ)√

(1− ω2)2 + 4ν2ω2+ 1

Dispersion of the roll oscillations and the standard deviation are found fromthe definitions (6.2) and (6.18)

Dϕ =

The dispersions obtained from (6.29), (6.30) and (6.31) determine fully theirregular ship oscillations in heavy seaway. Using them the following furtherparameters can be calculated

• Most probable amplitude of oscillations corresponding to the maximumof the p.d.f.(ζa) distribution

ϕm = σϕ (6.32)

The probability that the roll amplitude exceeds ϕm is 60.6 %.

• Averaged amplitude of roll oscillations (mathematical expectation)

ϕ =

2σϕ ≈ 1.25σϕ (6.33)

The probability that the roll amplitude exceeds ϕ is 45.6 %.

73

Page 74: Ship Dynamics in Waves

• The probability that the roll amplitude exceeds the value ϕ∗:

p(ϕA > ϕ∗) = e−0.5(ϕ∗/σϕ)2 (6.34)

• Averaged frequency and averaged period of oscillations:

ωϕ =σϕσϕ, Tϕ =

(6.35)

• Number of ship inclinations (semi periods) within the time interval t:

Nt =2t

Tϕ(6.36)

• Number of ship inclinations within the time interval t provided the rollangle amplitude is larger than ϕ∗:

Nϕ∗ = NtP (ϕA > ϕ∗) =2t

Tϕe−0.5(ϕ∗/σϕ)2 (6.37)

The formulae (6.32) - 6.37) are derived under assumption that the oscillationsobey the Gaussian distribution law.

The following parameters of the model are to be determined before experi-ment:

• weight G

• positions of the center of gravity xg, zg

• metacentric heights GMγ, GMl

• inertia moments Ixx, Iyy, Izz

They should satisfy the similarity conditions:

Gs = λ3GM

(xgs, zgs) = (xgm, zgm) · λGMγ,ls = λGMγ,lm

Ixxs = λ5Ixxm, Iyys = λ5Iyym

Izzs = λ5Izzm.

Since the draught and beam are approximately equal B ∼ T one assumesthat Iyy ≈ Izz.For the determination of Izz the model is hanged out as shown in Fig. 7.1.The model is oscillating in horizontal plane about the vertical axis as shownin Fig. 7.1. The period of oscillation τ is measured. The inertia moment iscalculated then from formula:

Izz = Iyy =Gma

The inertia moment Ixx and the center of gravity zg is determined using thesetup shown in Fig. 7.2.To determine zg only one load is used, which causes the model heeling. If ϕ isthe heel angle, the distance a calculated from moment equilibrium equation:

The damping coefficient B44 is also calculated from its definition

B44 = 2νϕ(Ixx + A44).

The results are represented depending on the magnitude of ϕ. Since themeasurements are performed only at ωϕ, the results at ω 6= ωϕ are notobtained in these measurements.For ships with large damping the free oscillations decay very quickly. It causesbig error in data analysis. For this case the method of forced oscillations isapplied. The model is forced to roll using horizontally oscillating load asshown in Fig. 7.4. The load produce the perturbation moment

Mper = M0 sinωt

The roll oscillations without incident waves are described by the ordinarydifferential equation of the second order:

For reliable determination of inertial and damping forces depending on fre-quency ω it is necessary to apply more complicated setups than these de-scribed above. A description of these setups can be found in [11].

The seakeeping tests in regular and irregular waves Fig. (7.5) are performedin seakeeping and manoeuvring basin. The seakeeping basins can be open orclosed. In the closed basin the irregular waves are generated using segmentedwave generators consisting of hinged flaps. Each flap is controlled separatelyby a driving motor.

The seakeeping basin of MARIN (Fig. 7.6) has dimensions 170 x 40 x 5m.The wave generator (Fig. 7.7) produces waves with significant wave heightof 0,45 m and a peak period of 2 sec. The irregular waves have a prescribedspectrum. The model is either self propelled (free running test) or carriedby the carriage with the speed up to 6m/sec. Model length range is from 2mto 8m. Additionally to waves the wind is generated by an adjustable 10mwide platform with electrical fees. Free running tests are performed suchthat the model follows an arbitrary pre-defined track through the basin. Theseakeeping tests in open basin are performed under condition that the freewaves, generated naturally, have desirable heights and periods.

One of the most important aims of seakeeping tests in irregular waves is theevaluation of slamming (Fig. 7.5) and flooding.

7.2 Seakeeping tests with large scale ships

The most reliable evaluation of ship seakeeping performances can be gainedon the base of tests with large scale ships.The first task within framework of such measurements is the determinationof sea state. The wave heights are measured using bues, hydrostatic pressuresensors, or by stereo photography from airplanes (see Fig. 7.8).

The time signals of kinematic parameters are evaluated using Fourieranalysis.

Chapter 9

Parametric oscillations

Parametric oscillations arise when one of parameters characterizing the os-cillating system depends periodically on time. Parametric ship oscillationsarise due to periodic change of the metacentric height:

GMγ = GM0γ + AGM cosωt (9.1)

which is in previous chapters assumed to be constant, i.e.

GMγ = GM0γ .

The motion equation of free roll oscillations with variable metacentric heightis:

Ixxϕ+ A44ϕ−B44ϕ+ ρg∇0(GM0γ + AGM cosωt)ϕ = 0

or:

ϕ+ 2νϕϕ+ ω2ϕϕ = µϕ cosωtϕ,

where

νϕ =B44

2(Ixx + A44), ω2

ϕ =ρg∇0GM

Ixx + A44

µϕ =AGMρg∇0

Ixx + A44

(9.2)

Analyzing (9.2) one can state that change of the metacentric height can causethe perturbation moment resulting in parametric oscillations.Physical reason for the appearance of the additional perturbation moment isthe effect of the ship submergence change during roll and vertical oscillations.The change of the roll angle causes the moment.

95

Page 96: Ship Dynamics in Waves

ρ∇0gGMγϕ (9.3)

The change of the ship draught ξ results in an additional moment

ρg∇0AGM cosωtϕ

which is proportional to ζ and ϕ.

The equation (9.2) has no analytic solution in elementary functions. How-ever, properties of its solution are well known. It can be shown that if thefrequency of perturbation moment ω wave frequency is twice as large as thefree roll oscillation frequency, i.e. ω = 2ωϕ, the parametric resonance takesplaces. Since the perturbation moment depends on heave ζ, the parametricresonance takes place when the frequency of vertical oscillations is approx-imately twice as large as the frequency of roll oscillations. With the otherwords, during semi period of roll oscillations the heave change performs thefull period oscillation as shown schematically on Fig. 9.1. The parametricresonance is typical for ships with big distance between the center of gravityand water plane surface (Fig. 9.2).

For parametric oscillation it is necessary that ship is brought from the equi-librium state by a certain perturbation. The natural reason of such per-turbation for roll oscillations is beam seaway. However, the parametric rolloscillation can arise also in head waves. If the ship has a certain roll angle inhead waves, the hydrostatic lift force becomes larger at the wave crest andsmaller at wave valley. This results in a perturbation moment depending onroll angle.

This kind of parametric oscillations depends on the wave lengths and shipaltitude.

Periodic change of the metacentric height results in asymmetry of roll oscil-lations. Due to phase displacement between heave oscillations and waves δχthe averaged additional moment is different for positive and negative ϕ. Inthe resonance case of vertical oscillations ωχ ≈ ωϕ, the middle roll angle is [9]

Principles of Rankine sourcemethod for calculation ofseakeeping

10.1 Frequency domain simulations

Generally there are two basic methods of simulation of time dependent pro-cesses. In the first method called the simulation in frequency domain theunsteady process is considered as the sum of the mean part which is timeindependent and the periodical part. The mean part can be calculated usingnonlinear strategy, i.e. the seeking parameters depends on ship kinematicparameters in non linear manner. The periodic part is considered as smalland found from linear theory. This formalism is based on Fourier analysis ofunsteady processes. Each unsteady quantity q is represented in form:

q = q0 + qeiωt (10.000)

where

q0 is the mean value,q is amplitude andω is frequency.

The potential around the ship is represented as the sum of four terms [13]

ϕ = (−V x+ ϕs) + (ϕw + ϕI) (10.1)

where

−V x potential of incident uniform flow,V ship speed,ϕw potential of incident wave,ϕI remaining unsteady potential,ϕs potential of the steady flow disturbance.

The terms in the first parenthesis describes the steady flow around the shipwith account of free surface effects. The second parenthesis represent theperiodic flow due to waves. determination of the potential (−V x + ϕs) isdiscussed in the wave resistance potential theory. This problem can be solvedutilizing either full nonlinear or linear formalism. Numerical linear methodfor two dimensional case is described in Chapter 6.7 (Kornev N., Ship TheoryI, Manuscript, 2008). The boundary conditions for ϕI are linearized. Thefollowing boundary conditions should be satisfied [13]:

• no penetration on the hull,

• kinematic boundary condition on the free surface,

• dynamic boundary condition on the free surface,

• decay of disturbances far away from the ship,

• radiation condition.

The Laplace equation and decay condition are automatically satisfied withinthe Rankine source method. The unsteady potential is decomposed intoradiation and diffraction components:

ϕI =6∑i=1

ϕiui + ϕd (10.2)

where ui - ship velocities.For the sake of simplicity we consider fully linear formalism (ϕs and ϕI aresmall). The kinematic and dynamic boundary conditions are used to derivemixed boundary condition on the free surface.The dynamic boundary condition written in the inertial reference system ist(see page 110 in [6]).

The panels are distributed on the hull and on the free surface around theship.To get the boundary conditions for diffraction potential, the potentials ϕi areset to zero in equations (10.12) and (10.13). If the radiation potential, sayϕ(3), is to be found, the diffraction potentials ϕd and ϕi(i 6=3) are set to zeroin boundary conditions (10.12) and (10.6). The boundary conditions (10.12)

10.2 Time domain simulation

Consideration of nonlinear effects. Seaway is computed as superposition ofelementary waves.

• The wave frequencies ωj are chosen such that the area under the seaspectrum between ωj and ωj+1 is the same for all j. This results inconstant amplitudes for all elementary waves regardless of frequency.

• The frequency interval for simulation is divided into subintervals. Thesesubintervalls are larger where Sζ or the important RAOs are small andvice versa. In each subinterval a frequency ωj is chosen randomly (basedon constant probability distribution). Encounter angles are chosen ran-domly.

The frequencies, encounter angles, and phase angles chosen before the simu-lation must be kept during the whole simulations.
