Dynamic behaviour and stability of speed of semi-displacement monohulls

The motions of a ship in the semi-displacement region are investigated. The focus is on the vertical dynamic forces which should not be neglected at this speed range. Two approaches are used to identify these dynamic forces. The first is an synthetic approach that uses a database of dynamic forces a...

Description
Summary:The motions of a ship in the semi-displacement region are investigated. The focus is on the vertical dynamic forces which should not be neglected at this speed range. Two approaches are used to identify these dynamic forces. The first is an synthetic approach that uses a database of dynamic forces acting on the ship depending on the running attitude and speed of the ship. This database can be obtained from either CFD calculations or experiments.
