Model-Scale Experiment of the Seakeeping Performance for R/V Melville, Model 5720

Abstract

An experiment was performed in the Maneuvering and Seakeeping (MASK) basin at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Carderock Division (NSWCCD) to provide time-synchronized model ship motion and wave measurement data, at moderate speeds, of the R/V Melville. Model 5720, representing R/V Melville, was designed and constructed at NSWCCD and experiments were performed to assess seakeeping in regular and uni-directional irregular waves. This report details the data obtained from this experiment and presents some analysis, including standard time-series statistical parameters and Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) for both regular and irregular wave conditions. A comprehensive data set, analysis, and supporting documentation accompanies this report in the form of a data CD.
