Ship Motion Predictions for the USS AEOLUS (ARC-3), USS DE STEIGUER (T-AGOR-12), and USS EDENTON (ATS-1).
Abstract
Ship motion predictions for the cableship ARC-3, the oceanographic research ship T-AGOR-12, and the salvage tug ATS-1 operating in short crested (multidirectional) seas are given. The motions are calculated using Bretschneider wave spectra for a 1-foot significant wave height and various modal wave periods so that they are easily applicable for a wide range of sea conditions by simple linear scaling techniques. Root mean square motions and associated periods, as well as time histories and spectra, are presented.
