Seakeeping
Program description Version 18 January 2023
Course objectives
This course covers basic ship seakeeping theory & practice. The course is intended for naval architects and marine engineers, with a need to understand and perform ship motion analysis: passenger comfort, deck accelerations, probability of slamming or shipping of green water.
By the end of the course, participants are able to:
– Prepare a GHS geometry file for ship motion analysis
– Setup a Seakeeping study
– Output RAOs, motions and accelerations
Syllabus
– Formulation and computation methods: 2D strip theory, 3D potential flow
– Ship & sea: coordinate systems, seakeeping conventions
– Mass moment of inertia
– Sea spectra
– Roll damping
– Sea operational limits
Software of reference: GHS
Course venue / delivery mode: live web sessions. A minimum of 2 registered attendees is required to maintain the course.
Duration : 2 x 3 hours, total 6 hours
