Abstract

Hydrodynamic damping of floating bodies is due mainly to wave radiation and viscous damping. The latter is particularly important in controlling those responses of the body for which the wave damping is small. The roll response of ship hulls near resonance in beam seas is an example of this. The present paper applies a discrete vortex method as a local solution to model vortex shedding from the bilges of a barge hull of rectangular cross-section and hence provides an analytic method for predicting its coupled motions in three degrees of freedom, including the effects of the main component of viscous damping. The method provides a frequency-domain solution satisfying the full linearized boundary conditions on the free surface.
