User Manual for Program SCOMOT Second Part of U.S.C.G. Ship Motion Program.
Abstract
A description of program SCOMOT, the second part of the revised and enhanced SCORES program is presented, with the theoretical basis, organization and structure, data input and output formats described. A sample computation--using the SL-7 containership--is included to aid in the understanding of the input and output formats. This program computes the six-degree of freedom ship motions of heave, pitch, surge, sway, yaw and roll and wave induced sea loads of vertical bending moment and shear force, lateral bending moment and shear force and torsion for a ship advancing at constant speed. The transfer functions for a range of frequency and wave headings are calculated. A variety of spectral definitions ranging from an analytical formulation of the Bretschneider type, to measure spectra, to a hindcast and forecast data can be accepted as a single spectrum or families of spectra divided into wave height groups. Both short term and long term analysis for all responses are performed, and in addition slamming and shipping of water statistics presented. (Author)
