Seakeeping analysis
Amarcon has many years of broad experience in ship- and offshore hydrodynamics. We can calculate:
- Transfer functions for ship motions (6DOF), absolute and relative local accelerations, velocities and motions, hull girder loads, pressures, drift forces, surface elevations
- Design sea state analysis
- Mooring analysis (static and dynamic)
- Short-term response statistics in design sea states
- Long-term response statistics in wave scatter diagrams
- Workability analysis
- Monte Carlo simulations of voyages and offshore operations
- Slamming analysis (fore-body slamming, aft body-slamming)
- Greenwater analysis
- Water on deck evaluation (especially interesting for container ships, fpso top-side equipment, bulk carrier hatch covers, hatch coamings and overhanging cargo)
- Motion Sickness evaluation
- Fatigue evaluation
- Sloshing evaluation (for tankers, lng-carriers, fpso's)
- Run-up and air-gap clearance
- Multiple interacting bodies
Tools
- Linear 2D strip method (SEAWAY/OCTOPUS-Office)
- Linear 3D diffraction codes (WASIM and WAMIT)
- Nonlinear multibody time-domain simulations
- Statistical prostprocessing tools
- Nonlinear 2DBEM for impact load calculation
