Frequency of input (regular wave) and output (motion) is ALWAYS THE SAME !!
Phase can be positive ! (shipmotion ahead of wave elevation at COG)
Due to symmetry: some of the motions will be zero
Ratio of motion amplitude / wave amplitude = RAO (Response Amplitude Operator)
RAOs and phase angles depend on wave frequency and wave direction
RAOs and phase angles must be calculated by dedicated software or measured by experiments

Velocity potential function can be used to describe

water motions
Main property of velocity potential function:
for potential flow, a function (x,y,z,t) exists whose derivative in a
certain arbitrary direction equals the flow velocity in that
direction. This function is called the velocity potential.

Considering a fixed structure (ignoring the motions) we will

try to find a description of the disturbance of the flow by
the presence of the structure in the form of a velocity
potential. We will call this one the diffraction potential and
added to the undisturbed wave potential (for which we
have an analytical expression) it will describe the total flow
due to the waves.

Measure required

(m + a) z + b z + c z = + FFK + FD = FW
Subtract known

Equation of motion
Equation of motion
(m + a) z + b z + c z = + FFK + FD = FW
(m + a) z + b z + c z = F
z = za cos (t + z ,
To solve equation of motion for certain frequency:
Determine spring coefficient:

Determine required hydrodynamic coefficients for desired frequency:

( c 2 (m + a) ) za cos (t + z , ) + b za sin (t + z , ) = FW a cos t + F
a, b computer / experiment
Determine amplitude and phase of Fw of regular wave with amplitude =1:
z = za sin (t + z ,
c follows from geometry of vessel
86
85
Now solve the equation for the unknown motion amplitude za and phase angle z,
Computer / experiment: Fw = Fwacos(t+Fw,)
As we consider the response to a regular wave with frequency :

Assume steady state response: z=zacos(t+z,)
and substitute in equation of motion:

RAO
Equation of motion
(m + a) z + b z + c z = FW
(m + a) z + b z + c z = FW
Now solve the equation for the unknown motion amplitude za and phase angle z, for 1 frequency
System is linear
If wave amplitude doubles wave force doubles motion doubles
