MOTIONS AND LOADS OF A CATAMARAN SHIP OF ARBITRARY SHAPE IN A SEAWAY

An analytical method is presented for predicting the motions and loads of a catamaran of arbitrary shape running in oblique regular waves. Numerical calculations were carried out for the ASR catamaran and a semisubmersible. Correlations between the theoretical and experimental values are shown and a brief discussion is given.
