User Manual for Program Static -- First Part of Coast Guard Ship Motion Program.
Abstract
A description of program STATIC, the first part of the revised and enhanced SCORES program is presented with the theoretical basis, organization and structure, data input and output format described. A sample computation using the SL-7 containership is included to aid in the understanding of the input and output format. The program has two major functions; calculating the hydrostatic properties of a vessel and preparing the two dimensional hydrodynamic properties for the ship motion program SCOMOT. The curves of form, shear force and bending moment, grounding, intact stability, balancing of buoyancy and weight forces and other calculations can be performed for both still water and quasi-static conditions. The two dimensional added mass and damping for heave, sway, roll and roll-sway cross coupling are calculated for each section using either a multi-efficient conformal mapping technique of the Frank Close Fit method.
