Lighterage Seasickness Parametric Study.

Abstract

This report summarizes the results of a study performed to estimate seasickness corresponding to several different proposed configurations associated with the Joint Modular Lighterage System (JMLS). Specifically, the dynamic behavior of different modular barges with a heavy load was modeled in a variety of sea state 3 environments. This study consisted of identifying a single representative wave spectrum, running the SCORES vessel dynamics computer model for a variety of conditions (barge size, wave direction and water depth), and comparing the RMS vertical accelerations at various points on the barge deck. A literature survey was completed regarding seasickness criteria, which was then used to convert the RMS accelerations into seasickness potential for varying positions on the vessel.
