On the Frequency Characteristics of the Hydrodynamic Coefficients of the Three Dimensional Floating Body Moored along a Quay Wall

Abstract

Recently, the time domain analysis with the retardation functions becomes important in the research of moored ship motions. The hydrodynamic coefficients are required in the whole range of the frequency to calculate the retardation functions. There are few examples of the three dimensional floating body moored along a quay wall, and moreover those calculations are not satisfactory. In this paper, the calculation methods are proposed to improve the accuracy of the hydrodynamic coefficients and the retardation functions.
