OSCILLATORY TESTING FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF SHIP MANEUVERABILITY

A mathematical model of the fluid forces and moments experienced by a ship model is described without invoking the conventional approximations associated with the use of slow motion derivatives. Experimental data derived from horizontal oscillatory tests with a Mariner model is shown by a linear analysis to depend on response functions in the time domain. In addition relationships are established between the components of the hydrodynamic loadings in phase with the displacement of the model and those in quadrature with the model's displacement.
