Vessel Motions - Fifth Order

Previous pageNext page

The high frequency response of the vessel reference point in local degree of freedom i to a Stokes V wave when you nominate the Fifth Order option is defined by:

       (1)

where:

       (2)

and:

is the vessel RAO in degree of freedom i, which is a function of wave heading and wave frequency

=

is the vessel phase angle in degree of freedom i, which is also a function of and

Remaining symbols are as previously defined. This option gives a fifth order vessel response to the fifth order wave.
