This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Historically, the analysis of ship motion and loading responses has been performed in the frequency domain with both linear response amplitude operators and wave energy density spectra. This method, therefore, did not account for the nonlinear nature of waves. A more precise method is to obtain the response in the time domain, processing non-linear wave data with a linear response amplitude operator. Since the input is non-linear, even though the system is linear, the output will also be non-linear. This resultant data can then be used to generate a more accurate design of seaworthy vessels. Furthermore the linear frequency domain method does not account for the presence or effects of wave groups. This study shows the improved accuracy in the response obtained by accounting for non-linearities and furthermore indicates that wave groups affect the vertical relative motion of a moored ship (zero-speed).

Download or read book Wave Groups in Shallow Water written by Steve Elgar and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 7 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the primary results of this study is that wave group statistics observed in the ocean at depths greater than 10 m for a large range of wave conditions are consistent with linear theory. Wave group prediction models that do not include the effect of correlations between waves separated by several intervening waves underpredict the number of sequential large waves. On the other hand, a model that includes correlations of waves separated by as many as six intervening waves predicts accurately the observed wave group statistics. Another result is that although computationally convenient, wave group prediction models based on power spectral shape alone are not as accurate as models based on direct simulations of the wave field. In shallower water where nonlinearities in the wave field can be important, linear theory based models underpredict the lengths of groups of large waves, but nonlinear simulations that use information from the power spectrum and bispectrum of the time series of sea-surface elevation are more accurate. The simulations suggest nonlinearities result in longer groups of high waves than occur in a Gaussian (eg, linear) sea.
Download or read book Experimental Wave Effects on Vertical Relative Motion written by Rajith Padmanabhan and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ship motions are influenced by the sea state. Conventionally the responses are calculated in the frequency domain. This method, however, is valid only for narrow band spectra. As the seaway becomes more nonlinear, the ship motions cannot be readily predicted using the spectral method. Experiments conducted by Dalzell, have shown that the Response Amplitude Operator (RAO) decreased with increasing sea state or non linearity. Conventionally in the shipbuilding industry, the ship motions are studied by the linear RAOs and the energy density spectrum of the seaway. This method does not take into consideration any non linearities in the system. These are ignored and the ship seaway system is modeled linearly. The following work analyzes ship motions in the conventional linear approach and compares it to time domain simulations using the technique outlined in the work, viz. UNIOM (Universal Nonlinear Input Output Method). Time domain simulation of the SL-7 container ship hull is carried out. A comparison of the most probable peak value of the different modes of motion indicates that the linear theory tends to overpredict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Random waves are the most important constituent of the sea environment. They make the design of maritime structures quite different from that of structures on land. In this book, the concept of randomness in waves for the design of breakwaters, seawalls, and harbor structures is fully explored for easy comprehension by practicing engineers. Theoretical aspects are also discussed in detail for further studies by graduate students and researchers. Several additions have been made to this second edition, including a new chapter on extreme wave statistics.

Book excerpt: Second-order nonlinear models have been increasingly used in recent years model nonlinear processes in offshore engineering. We develop convenient analytic formulae to predict the nonlinearities in waves and to predict the crest height distribution in a specified wave condition. We apply such models to study the properties of random ocean waves. These include measured waves both in wave tanks and in field. Statistics comparison between model and measurements include: moment comparisons, comparison of distributions of wave elevations, crest heights, wave heights, and conditional distributions of local wave parameters, for example, crest height given wave heights, wave periods given crest heights, among others. We find the second-order model predictions to agree quite closely with the field measurements, while the wave tank statistics seem to be underpredicted by the second-order model. Finally, we solve the inverse problem, in which we identify the underlying first-order wave components, which when run through the second-order wave predictor matches the measured wave histories time point by time point.

Book excerpt: Hydrodynamics of High-Speed Marine Vehicles, first published in 2006, discusses the three main categories of high-speed marine vehicles - vessels supported by submerged hulls, air cushions or foils. The wave environment, resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, sea loads and manoeuvring are extensively covered based on rational and simplified methods. Links to automatic control and structural mechanics are emphasized. A detailed description of waterjet propulsion is given and the effect of water depth on wash, resistance, sinkage and trim is discussed. Chapter topics include resistance and wash; slamming; air cushion-supported vessels, including a detailed discussion of wave-excited resonant oscillations in air cushion; and hydrofoil vessels. The book contains numerous illustrations, examples and exercises.
Download or read book On Nonlinear Rolling of Ships in Random Seas written by Mahmoud R. Haddara and published by . This book was released on 1971 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An analytical method has been developed to obtain an approximate solution to the nonlinear rolling equation of a ship sailing in random waves. The stability of the stationary solution is then investigated by examining the behavior of the solution to the equation of the first variation of the equation of motion. Results of calculations made for a model of an American Challenger class cargo ship indicate large departures from the linear solution, especially near resonance. These results also indicate that the model may have unstable motion in quartering seas. Although this instability can be eliminated by considering a nonlinear damping form, the motion is still expected to be violent near these headings. (Author).
