Springer - Numerical Methods for Seakeeping Problems Book

Numerical Methods for Seakeeping Problems by Springer provides a comprehensive look at advanced computational techniques used to analyze wave-induced ship motions and loads. This technical resource covers both established methodologies and recent breakthroughs in maritime engineering. Readers can explore well-known computational methods such as strip theory, panel methods, and finite volume methods for unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations (URANS). The text also provides detailed explanations of modern advancements, including fully nonlinear Rankine panel methods and URANS calculations that account for elastic hull deformations. Beyond deterministic models, the book addresses the practical need for predicting added resistance in waves through improved methods. It also includes statistical approaches to help engineers assess extreme motions and loads for linear systems. This book serves as a detailed guide for professionals and researchers working with complex ship motion simulations and hydrodynamic loading.
