Time domain non linear strip theory for ship motions

Time domain non linear strip theory for ship motions

Compared with traditional strip theory, the main difference is that the calculation is carried out in the time domain.

At each time step, the exact underwater sections are extracted; the velocity potential is required to satisfy this instantaneous body boundary condition, therefore the added mass, damping coefficients and exciting forces are time-variant, which produce a non-linearity. The diffraction force is added to work of Westlake and Wilson, and the results show the effect of diffraction force is significant.

Abstract

A new implementation of strip theory is proposed based on the strip theory by Salvesen, et al. [1] and early work by Westlake and Wilson [2]. Compared with traditional strip theory, the main difference is that the calculation is carried out in the time domain. This makes it possible to cope with relatively large-amplitude motions and non-constant forward speed problems.
At each time step, the exact underwater sections are extracted; the velocity potential is required to satisfy this instantaneous body boundary condition, therefore the added mass, damping coefficients and exciting forces are time-variant, which produce a non-linearity. The diffraction force is added to work of Westlake and Wilson, and the results show the effect of diffraction force is significant.
