The effect of abnormal wave sequences on 2D hydroelastic predictions of global loads
The effect of abnormal wave sequences on 2D hydroelastic predictions of global loads
There is increasing interest in the structural response of ships in abnormal, or rogue, sea states. Observations have shown that such waves frequently occur in sequences of multiple abnormally large waves rather than the individual wave occurrence most frequently modelled in literature. The focus of this paper is the prediction of ship global
loads when encountering a sequence of between 1 and 3 abnormal waves at 0 and 10 knots, using 2D linear hydroelasticity analysis. Comparisons between the vertical bending moments experienced by the ship in abnormal wave sequences of 2 or 3 waves compared to a single wave occurrence show that encountering an abnormal wave sequence affects both the magnitude of the vertical bending moment response and the duration for which the ship has to endure not only vertical bending moments far in excess of what it would normally experienced, but also high frequency transient loading due to severe slamming events and whipping. This may have significant implications on the ability of the ship to withstand such wave encounters. Future work will investigate ship responses in a larger
range of abnormal wave sequences and carry out experimental testing to validate numerical predictions

Abstract
There is increasing interest in the structural response of ships in abnormal, or rogue, sea states. Observations have shown that such waves frequently occur in sequences of multiple abnormally large waves rather than the individual wave occurrence most frequently modelled in literature. The focus of this paper is the prediction of ship global
loads when encountering a sequence of between 1 and 3 abnormal waves at 0 and 10 knots, using 2D linear hydroelasticity analysis. Comparisons between the vertical bending moments experienced by the ship in abnormal wave sequences of 2 or 3 waves compared to a single wave occurrence show that encountering an abnormal wave sequence affects both the magnitude of the vertical bending moment response and the duration for which the ship has to endure not only vertical bending moments far in excess of what it would normally experienced, but also high frequency transient loading due to severe slamming events and whipping. This may have significant implications on the ability of the ship to withstand such wave encounters. Future work will investigate ship responses in a larger
range of abnormal wave sequences and carry out experimental testing to validate numerical predictions
