SIMPLIFIED METHOD OF CALCULATION OF INCREASED SHIP RESISTANCE IN WAVES

EINE EINFACHE METHODE ZUR BERECHNUNG DER WIDERSTANDSERHOEHUNG EINES SCHIFFES IM SEEGANG

The most important factor in behavior of a ship in high waves with respect to economics is the loss in speed. In moderate-size waves that loss is caused by the increase in resistance as well as by decreased propulsion as a result of the motions. In high seas, ships must decrease propeller speed or heading. This approach in determination of resistance is based on interrelation of resistance and wave height.
