Wang, Yi, Wu, W. and Guedes Soares, C. (2018), “Experimental and numerical studies of the wave-induced responses of a River-to-Sea ship”, Journal of Marine Science and Application, Vol. 17, pp. 380-388
The ship motions and wave-induced loads of a new type of River-to-Sea Ship are investigated experimentally and numerically. This is an unconventional new type of containership characterized by high breadth to draft ratio and low length to breadth ratio, which makes it more prone to hydroelasticity than conventional ships of this size. A segmented model was tested in two loading conditions, namely ballast condition and loaded condition, in order to determine the vertical motions and wave induced loads in each condition. The results are compared with numerical simulations in the frequency domain. For the wave-induced response are calculated by a nonlinear time domain code at each time steps. The RAOs of the vertical ship responses in regular waves are analysed and the wave induced responses show a good agreement with the experimental results.
