This paper reviews the state-of-the-art research progress of large-scale model at-sea
measurements in relation to ship resistance, propulsion, manoeuvrability, seakeeping and …

Hydroelasticity of ships has been established as a necessary form of investigation for both
slender ships and high-speed craft. Experimental investigations have spanned various …

To investigate the scale effects on ship seakeeping and wave loads, ship motions and wave
loads considering hydroelasticity responses of a 310-m-long ship are calculated in four …

Wave-induced ship motion and load responses are usually investigated on the assumption
that the incident waves are long-crested. The realistic sea waves are however short-crested …

The vertical response of an Ultra Large Containership in high seas is analysed by means of
numerical methods, which are compared with experiments. The experiment was conducted …

In this paper, wave-induced motions and loads of a bow flare ship advancing in harsh
irregular waves are investigated both numerically and experimentally. A 3D time-domain …

Recent studies have benchmarked the prediction of the wave vertical bending moment
(VBM) of ships in waves and found significant scatter among the numerical codes. A long …

Wave-driven hydroelasticity is of great importance to a wide range of applications within
offshore and coastal engineering. Harnessing the benefits of hydroelasticity or minimising its …

In this paper, seakeeping performance of vessels is comparatively investigated by means of
improved 2.5 D theoretical calculation, small-scale model towing tank test and large-scale …

The issue of ship structural fatigue strength caused by springing is receiving increasing
attention from designers. To investigate nonlinear springing more precisely on ultralarge …
