Theoretical Estimates of Wave Loads on the SL-7 Container Ship in Regular and Irregular Seas.

Abstract

The computer program SCORES for predicting ship structural response in waves is applied to the SL-7 container ship. The operating conditions considered are 2 displacements, 4 ship speeds, 21 wavelengths, 19 headings and 5 sea states assuming both long-crested and short-crested seas. These results constitute a complete data bank for the SL-7 ship in the form of both frequency responses for regular waves as well as rms and other statistical response measures for irregular seas.
