Damping Loads

Theory

The damping loads are given by the following equations:

               (1)

where:

• is the linear damping coefficient in surge referred to the vessel CoG

• is the linear damping coefficient in sway referred to the vessel CoG

• is the linear damping coefficient in yaw referred to the CoG

Relevant Keywords

•*MOORED VESSEL is used to define a moored vessel and its associated properties. Specifically, the TYPE=DAMP inputs are used to specify damping coefficient data.
