Summary on Grant Application Form
1) Identify when different experimental measures of surge damping and theoretical predictions remain consistent. 2) Establish methods of measuring sway and yaw still water and wave drift damping and identify principal dependencies of damping characteristics. 3) Extend theoretical methods to provide estimates of tank wall effects.
