Effects of Forward Speed and Wave Height on the Seakeeping Performance of a Small Fishing Vessel
The effects of wave height and forward speed on the seakeeping performance of a small fishing vessel in irregular waves are evaluated using computational Foam Tipped Cleaning Swabs fluid dynamics (CFD).The wave height effect changed linearly for a forward speed in the head sea and beam sea.In the stationary state, the heave and roll motions attribu
