Fonseca, N. and Guedes Soares, C., (2004), “Green Water Effects on the Bow of a Containership Advancing in Regular and Irregular Waves”, Proceedings of the 9th International Symposium on Practical Design of Ships and other Floating Structures (PRADS´04), 12-17 September, Luebeck-Travemuende, Germany, Vol. 1, pp. 412-419
The paper presents the results of an experimental and theoretical investigation of green water effects on the bow of a containership. Model tests were carried out in regular and irregular head waves with the objective of measuring motions, structural loads, heights of water on deck, pressures on deck, and pressures and total forces on the first line of containers on the bow. A model of a modern containership with 3.6m length was constructed in Fibre Reinforced Plastic (FRP).
