A Study on Bow Motions of High Speed Vessel in Regular Head Waves
The advanced researches of the ship's motion in the seaway can predict the heaving, pitching and slamming of ship's motion. The researches as of today are that of displacement type such as a small typical fishing boat and U, UV and V bow ship forms under low speed. In recent day, the study of behaviours of high speed planning boat in the regular waves has been carried out by Bessho [5]. The calculation about behaviours of a high speed vessel in the longitudinal regular waves is calculated by Ordinary Strip Method in this paper. The data of the results were discussed and compared with Bessho's results. The conclusions deduced from this study are as follow, (1) The acceleration of motion calculated by the O.S.M. is similar with Bessho's data for the Fn 0.5 (2) The amplitudes of the behaviours of motions take peak at 1.0<λ/L<1.4.
