The procedure we
followed in the seakeeping evaluation of our design is summarized here:
|
|
Ship response in
waves is evaluated using two-dimensional, strip theory, hydrodynamics.
|
|
First, we evaluate
the response in regular sinusoidal waves and then we proceed we random wave
calculations.
|
|
We assume a
Pierson-Moskowitz sea spectrum.
|
|
We evaluate the
response in these random seas, and we set our limiting values for the
response.
|
|
Finally, we adjust
our design parameters so that the limiting values are not exceeded for the
majority of sea headings and ship speeds.
