The determination of nonlinear forces of the second order during the laterale motions of the ship in shallow water

The article deals with the impact of shallow waters at nonlinear forces arising in the sway, heave and roll motions of the ships on the basis of three-dimensional potential theory. To determine them, it is necessary to calculate the potentials of the second order of smallness. The solution of the problem is carried out on the basis of small parameter methods, Fredholm's integral equations and Green's function for a fluid of limited depth. The presented solution in national practice is new. During the determination of the second order potentials, nonlinear boundary conditions on the free surface of the liquid and on the wetted surface of the ship are taken into account on the basis of methods program was developed, considering various H/T. The results of calculations of the forces and moments for four types of different ships are presented. Investigation of impact of non-dimensional depth to the certain types of nonlinear forces and moments is carried out. The significant influence of shallow water on the amplitudes and resonance modes is shown.
