Abstract

The conventional ship seakeeping analysis are conducted under the assumption of uni-directional regular or irregular waves. However, full-scale real ships operate in sea states of three-dimensional multi-directional irregular waves. This paper simulates ship motions and load responses in short-crested irregular waves with various directional functions by using CFD-FEM method. First, the simulated waves with various directional functions are comparatively analyzed and validated. Then, ship motions and loads in different short-crested wave states and also in long-crested waves are comprehensively analyzed and compared from the aspect of time series, frequency spectra, statistical values and exceedance of probability. The effect of directional function of short-crested waves on ship motions and loads is comprehensively discussed, which provides useful regression formula for the rapid extrapolation and estimation of ship motions and loads in short-crested waves using the long-crested wave response results. This paper sheds light on the effect of wave directional spreading on ship motions and load responses.

期刊介绍： This journal aims to provide a medium for presentation and discussion of the latest developments in research, design, fabrication and in-service experience relating to marine structures, i.e., all structures of steel, concrete, light alloy or composite construction having an interface with the sea, including ships, fixed and mobile offshore platforms, submarine and submersibles, pipelines, subsea systems for shallow and deep ocean operations and coastal structures such as piers.
