Additional Seakeeping Model Tests of Two U.S. Coast Guard Notional Designs of 110 FT and 120 FT WPB Hulls
Abstract
The research results presented in this report are concerned with the seakeeping characteristics of two Notional WPB Designs, the 1 1 0 FT WPB and the 120 FT WPB. Model tests of the two hulls were conducted at 10 knots in irregular head seas having significant wave heights of 12.5% of the beam and at speeds from 25 to 70 knots in irregular head seas having a significant wave height of 20% of the beam. Spectral analyses were performed on the motions and accelerations, including the 1/3 octave RMS accelerations. All data were scaled to full size and are tabulated.
