Study on Sensitivity of Ship Added Resistance to Wave Slope

Abstract

From the past, many studies have been carried out and it was treated that added resistance is proportional to the square of wave amplitude by both theoretically and experimentally. Some recent studies show that added resistance is a stronger nonlinear phenomenon which depends on the ship hull shape and the wave slope. In this study, the effect of wave height on ship added resistance is studied using a nonlinear Cartesian-grid-based solver, particularly for harsh conditionsto do experiments.
