CORRELATION BETWEEN THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL VALUES OF MOTIONS OF SHIPS MOORED AT A SEA BERTH

Experimental results of motions of vessels moored to a sea berth are presented. These data are then compared with analytical results. Any commonly used mooring patterns and arrangements can be incorporated into the mathematical model. The overall restoring forces and moments are derived from the actual nonlinear line and fender reactions. Line pretension, steady-state wind and current forces are input. Slow drift motions due to excitation by wave groups and the resulting maximum excursions of the vessel are investigated in this same effort. Time and frequency domain solutions of the mathematical model are compared.
