EFFECT OF FLUCTUATION OF WIND ON SHIP MOTIONS

The effect of wind fluctuations on the motions of a 258,000 dwt tanker and a 237,000 dwt tanker are examined by numerical simulation. The ships are moored to fixed deepwater terminals by several synthetic ropes. Gusty wind is generated according to the frequency spectrum proposed by Davenport. Computational results indicate that wind fluctuations can cause large, long-period motion oscillations.
