Datta, R., Rodrigues, J.M and Guedes Soares, C. (2011), “Study of the motions of fishing vessels by a time domain panel method”, Ocean Engineering, Vol. 38, Issue 5-6, PP:787-792

In this paper, a wide variety of computed motion results is presented for three existing fishing vessels. In order to do that, time domain computations of 3D ship motions are performed with a time domain Green’s function. The computational method adopted is based on a previously developed one, whose numerical scheme here is subjected to modifications that increase its robustness and overall efficiency, so that it can be applied to calculate the motions of fishing vessels. The results are then compared with simulations using WAMIT for the zero speed case, and a strip theory method is used to determine the effect of forward speed. Results are presented for head seas, quartering head waves and following waves with three distinct Froude numbers. of the expansion formulae, the solutions associated with the source potential, forced oscillation and reflection of capillary–gravity waves in the presence of interfacial tension are derived.
