AN APPLICATION OF THE SLENDER BODY THEORY TO THE SHIP MOTION IN HEAD SEAS

The fluid motion around a ship which moves in regular head seas with a finite forward speed is analysed by means of the slender body theory. Formulas for hydrodynamic forces and moments are given to the ship form of semi-circular cross section.
