WAVE DRIFT CURRENT INTERACTION ON A TANKER IN OBLIQUE WAVES

Johan E. W. Wichers, R.H.M. Huijsmans

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

In this paper the strong interaction between the wave drift force and sailing speed or current on a LNG tanker is demonstrated. To compute the speed dependency of the second order wave drift force a new theory is developed for a tanker sailing at low forward speed. Some computed results of the wave drift forces with forward speed both in head and bow quartering waves are discussed with results of model tests.
