Global hydroelastic ship response comparison of numerical model and WILS model tests

It is nowadays well recognized that the hydroelastic ship response might be an important part of the overall ship structural response. We usually talk about two phenomena: namely springing and whipping, even if sometimes it is not trivial to distinguish between the two of them. Usually, springing is defined as a continuous resonant wave-induced...

Local hydro-structure interactions due to slamming

It is fair to say that the general seakeeping problem of ship advancing with arbitrary forward speed in rough waves is still a challenge and no fully satisfactory numerical model exists up to now. Indeed physics involved in this problem is extremely complex and includes many different physical phenomena which can not be handled by a single...
