The objective of this study was to evaluate more pre-cisely the accuracy of ship-motion strip theory for ships in
head seas. Theoretical and experimental results were compared
for the Mariner hull and for a destroyer hull with and without
a bow modification. In view of the good agreement found, it
was concluded that for practical design purposes, strip theory can be used to predict head-seas motions with satisfactory
accuracy provided there is adequate station representation.

under the General Hydromechanics Research Program with funding under
Sub-project S-R009 01 01, Task 0100 And by Bureau of Ships letter Serial

INTRODUCTION
. Extensive comparison studies of strip theory and experiments for
head-seas ship motions have been conducted at various laboratories during
the last decade. As a result of this work, strip theory can now be used
to predict head-seas ship motions with a quite satisfactory confidence
level. Strip theory has been shown to work well for common cruiser-stern
ships at low and moderate forward speeds (see, for example, Gerritsma and
Beukleman)1 and for high-speed destroyer hulls at low, moderate, and high
speeds (see Smith)2 as well as for many hulls with large bulbs (see Smith and Salvesen).3
The main objective of the present investigation was to evaluate more precisely the accuracy of the Frank close-fit ship-motion computer program.4 This computer program is based on an improved version of the original
head-seas strip theory of Korvin-Krouskovsky and Jacobs.5 Noticeable
dis-crepancies between theory and experiments have been found for the two following cases:
Pitch amplitudes for cruiser-stern ships at very high speeds.
Heave amplitudes for some destroyer hulls with large bow
modifi-cations.
The present study was undertaken to further investigate these two kinds of
discrepancies.
A comparison of the improved strip theory with the
Gerritsta-Beukelman study' on the Series 60, block 0.70 hull form indicated that the
theory overpredicted pitch amplitudes at very high speeds. At Froude number (Fr) 0.20 (15 knots for a 500-foot ship), the theoretical pitch was only 8 percent more than found experimentally; at Fr = 0.25 (19 knots), it was 16 percent larger, whereas at Fr = 0.30 (24 knots), it overestimated
the measured pitch by as much as 45 percent (see Figure 1 for the 0.30
Froude number case). However this discrepancy should not be interpreted as
necessarily indicating that the strip theory is inadequate for all ships at
high speeds. For example, Smith has found good agreement for high-speed
destroyer hulls up to Fr = 0.45.
It is felt that the discrepancy for the Series 60, block 0.70 hull
form at Fr = 0.30 was most likely due to an interaction between the
oscillatory motions and the large "steady-state" waves created by the hull
when operating substantially above design speed. The maximum design speed
for a 0.70-block cruiser-stern ship is about Fr = 0.24, and theory and experiment seem to agree quite well at that speed. Note that in the derivation of the strip theory, the "steady-state" wave resistance perturbation potential is assumed to be small enough to be ignored in
determining ship motions. Physically this means that the waves created by
a ship advancing at constant speed in calm water are assumed to have no
effect on ship motions. This appears to be a fairly reasonable assumption
for most displacement ships operating ,at or below their design speeds.
Comparisons between theory and experiments for head-seas motions seem to
verify this. For cruiser-stern ships with a block coefficient of 0.7.0,
quite satisfactory agreement has been found for speeds up to Fr = 0.20; with a block of 0.60, the agreement was good up to Fr = 0.25; and for
high-speed transom-stern ships with a block of about 0.50, reasonable agreement has been shown for speeds up to Fr = 0.45.
It was felt that additional confidence in the accuracy of the strip
theory for predicting pitch amplitudes', of cruiser-stern ships at high speeds could be obtained by-conducting an additional .head-seas Model test,
using the free-running model-test technique recently developed by Smith
and Salvesen.3 The Mariner hull form was selected as a good sample of
modern.high-speed cruiser-stern ships. It has a maximum design speed of .
about Fr =0.28 and a block coefficient of 0.63. It was also decided to,
conduct a careful investigation of the nonlinearities in the motion responses
with respect to the wave height.
The prediction of head-seas mcitions for ships with large bulbs:and
extreme bow modifications has received much attention in the past few
years. By applying close.fit ship-section representation in computing the
added-mass and damping coefficients used in the strip theory, Smith2 .
showed that the maximum heave amplitude for the Davidson A form (a high-speed transom-stern hull with an extremely large bulb) was approximately
twice that of similar hull forms without bulbs. More recently, Smith and
3
Salvesen- compared theoretical and experimental results for the pitch and
heave motions of the Davidson A hull. Their experimental results showed
about the same large increase in heave amplitude due to the,bUlb as
pre-dicted by the strip theory. However, their results also indicated that
the heave response for.the Davidson A hull as markedly nonlinear with
respect to wave amplitude and that agreement between theory and experiment
for the heave, amplitudes was satisfactory only when stall amplitude waves
were used. Furthermore; their experimental investigation showed that the
heave measurements for a hull with a large bulb could easily be affected by mechanical friction when the heave-staff technique was used to measure
responses. This is attributed to the fact that the heave responses- for
hulls with large.bulbs have considerably less damping and hence a,very
sharp resonant peak compared to regular hull forms. Smith and Salvesen
concluded, therefore, that it was necessary to use a free-running model-test technique for the Davidson A form in order to obtain the most
accurate heave amplitude data and also that small amplitude waves had to
be used for this particular hull form in order to stay within the linear. response range.
A couple of years ago, Dr. Shen Wang compared theoretical and
experi-mental ship motions for high-speed destroyers with modified bows. He
investigated the pitch and heave motions for seven destroyer hulls with and without modified bows, and found satisfactory agreement for most of the hull forms with computed results obtained by the Frank close-fit
ship-motion computer program. However the noticeable discrepancy found for
some of the forms precluded the drawing of general conclusions with respect
to the accuracy of the program as applied to hulls with large bow
modifi-cations.
The Wang study drew our attention to some unexplainable
dis-crepancies
in
the heave amplitude results for two of the hull forms.Figure 2 shows the body plans of these two hulls as used in the computer representation; they will be referred to in this report as Ship A and
Ship B. Both ships have high,speed, transom-stern hull forms and their
hull shapes are generally quite similar except for their somewhat different
bow modifications. Comparison of theoretical and experimental heave
ampli-tudes (Figure 3) did not indicate the same degree of accuracy for these
two ships. There was practically no increase in measured heave due to the
modified bow for Ship A whereas theory predicted an increase of about
20 percent. For Ship B, on the other hand, both theory and experiment
showed an increase in heave of about 38 percent due to the Modified bow. It should be pointed out that both Ship A and Ship B had been tested in the
same model tank under the same regular-wave conditions and that the same mechanical heave-staff technique had been used for measuring responses.
Taking all of these factors into consideration, we could see no particular reasons why there were such differences between theory and
experiment for these two ships. It was decided, therefore to conduct
additional head-seas experiments for the Ship A. destroyer hull with and
without bow modification in order to further investigate these
dis-crepancies. It was felt that the most accurate test data could be obtained
by using the free-running model-test technique and by including an
experi-mental investigation of the nonlinearities in the motion responses.
Unpublished NSRDC study.
This paper reports on the findings Of the tWo following model tests in regular waves: (1) the Mariner hull and (2) the destroyer hull,
Ship A with and without bow modification. Comparisons between strip theory
and experiments are also presented.
EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
TEST PROCEDURE
The free-running technique developed by Smith and Salvesen3 was
used to test the models. Their characteristics are listed in Table 1.
TABLE 1
Characteristics of the Test Models
The Mariner hull model was tested ai seven wave lengths (L/X = 0.50,
0.60, 0.70, 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, an-d 1.10) for each o four Froude numbers
(Fr = 0.10, 0.20, 0.30, and 0.40). The destroyer hull model with bow
modification was tested at eleven wave lengths (L/X = 0.57, 0.67, 0.75,
0.80, 0.85, 0.90, 0.95, 1.00, 1.10, 1.20, and 1.30) for each of three
Froude numbers (Fr = 0.204, 0.272, and 0.408)% The destroyer model without
bow modification was tested at the same speeds but at only five wave
lengths (L/X = 0.67, 0.80, 0.90, 1.00, and 1.10).

2.8 inches.
The tests were performed in regular waves using Carriage 2 in the 1200- x 51- x 22-foot basin with the model self-propelled and remotely
steered. Figure 4 is a sketch of the instrumentation used for measuring
heave, pitch, and surge motions. Four sonic transducers were used; two
measured pitch and heave, one measured surge, and one (not shown in the
sketch) measured wave height. One of the pitch-heave transducers (A) was
located 4 feet aft of the forward perpendicular (FP) and the other (B) was 4 feet forward of the aft perpendicular (AP). Both transmitters and
receivers were attached to the model, amd the signals were reflected by a
horizontal flat plexiglass plate. The transducer for surge had its
transmitter (C-S) at the AP and its receiver (C-M) attached to the carriage
about 4 feet aft of the model. The wave-height transducer was placed
10 feet forward of the model. The roll angle and the rudder angles were
also measured. All the data included in this report are from runs with
roll angles no larger than 2 degrees.
ANALYSIS OF DATA
One of the major difficulties in experimental seakeeping studies is
to make "clean" regular sinusoidal waves. In addition to the fundamental
wave component, other wave-length components are also present, particularly,
higher harmonic components. Therefore, in order to separate the fundamental
component from the actual wave measurement, the wave data were digitized
and then Fourier analyzed on a digital computer. Similarly, the motion
response data were Fourier analyzed to separate the responses associated with the nonfundamental wave components from the motion data and so obtain a purely sinusoidal response associated with the fundamental wave component.
Heave was also measured by an accelerometer in order to check the
accuracy of the data.
This is similar to the approach used in obtaining the response amplitude
operators from irregular wave data. This technique proved to be very
satisfactory and resulted in a much smaller spread of the data, especially
for the pitch and heave phases.
The heave and pitch amplitudes were plotted versus wave height in
order to evaluate the linearity of response. In general, these test data
seemed to be quite linear. However, because of the rather large spread in
data, a smaller line was drawn through the test points for each case to obtain the mean values used in the comparison of experimental and
theo-retical results (see Tables 2-4 in the appendix).

It is important to note that the forward-speed contributions to the coefficients in the equations of motion differ considerably from the
speed-corrections applied in other strip theories. The added-mass cross-coupling
coefficient
A53 contains an additional forward-speed term not present in
other theories and the pitch added-mass coefficient A55 lacks a linear
speed term included in some other theories (see, for example, Gerritsma).1
contribution to the coefficient
A55 has a rather small effect on the motion.
However, the forward-geed effect on Ass is very important and has a large
effect on the motion at high speeds in near-resonant situations. The
additional speed effect on Ass is believed to be correct for two reasons: (1) the Timman-Newman symmetry relationship9 is satisfied and (2) experi-ments by Smith2 clearly verify this speed effect.
COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL RESULTS
MARINER HULL FORM
The theoretical and experimental pitch and heave amplitudes for the
Mariner hull are shown in Figures 5 and 6. The experimental values are
shown on the figures as open or solid points. Open symbols denote actual
values and closed symbols the mean values obtained from the linearity plots
given in the Appendix. Tables 2-4 of the Appendix list experimental values
as well as the theoretical values computed from the Frank computer program.
Comparing the theoretical and experimental pitch and heave, we find
that the theoretical pitch and heave both agreed well with experimental
results at the two lower Froude numbers, 0.10 and 0.20 (Figure 5). There
was also good agreement in heave at Fr = 0.30, but agreement for pitch was
less satisfactory (Figure 6); in fact, the theoretical values differed from
measured pitch by as much as 28 percent. Figure 6 also indicates that the
linear strip theory was insufficient for the highest speed used (Fr = 0.40); the theory overpredicted heave by as' much as 50 percent and pitch by as much as 100 percent.
The design speed for the Mariner is about Fr = 0.28. Therefore, at
Fr = 0.30 and even more at Fr = 0.40, the Mariner hull created very large
"steady-state" waves. The large discrepancy between theory and experiments
at the extreme speeds is quite understandable considering that strip theory
ignores the interaction between oscillatory motions and "steady-state"
waves. Unfortunately time limitations precluded tests at speeds between
In the figures, heave is presented as the amplitude of heave divided.by
the wave amplitude, z/a and plotted against length between perpendiculars
divided by wave length, L/A. The pitch is presented as the angle of pitch
in radians multiplied by half of LBP and divided by wave amplitude, L/2a.
Fr = 0.20 and Fr = 0.30. It is difficult, therefore, to draw any valid
conclusions regarding the accuracy of the strip theory as applied to the Mariner hull at the design speed, other than to state a belief that the
agreement between theory and experiment would be considerably better at the
design speed than at Fr = 0.30.
Turning to Figures 7 and 8 which give the heave and pitch phases, we note that the theory predicted both the heave and the pitch phases quite
satisfactorily for the long wave length range, but that the theoretical
phases for both heave and pitch were less than indicated by the experiment
for the shorter wave-length range. The experimental points shown in
Figures 7 and 8 are all mean values obtained from two or more test runs, and the numerical values are tabulated in Table 1 of the Appendix.
DESTROYER HULL WITH AND WITHOUT BOW MODIFICATION
The theoretical and the experimental pitch and heave amplitudes for the desttOyer h011 (Ship.A) With and Without modified bow are Shown in Figures 9, 10, and 11 for Froude numbers 0.204, 0.272, and 0:408,
respec-tively. The experimental points are those listed it Tables 3 and 4 in the
Appendix. Mean values obtained from the linearity plots Shown in the
Appendix Were used for the wave lengths with several test runs.
Comparing the heave amplitudes first, we see
in
Figures 9, 10, and11 that-the experimental
results
Showed an increase,in
heave of lessthan 10 percent due to the modified bow whereas the theory predicted an
increase of as much as 20 percent. For-the case without bow modification,
there was good agreement between experiment and theory for heave at
Fr. = 0.204 and Fr = 0.272. (Figures 9 and 10) and fair agreement at FT = 0.408
(Figure 11).. Thus the theory predicted the heave for the bare hull quite'
well but overestimated the increase in heave for this particular bow
modification.
*-The phase angles express the lead with respect to maximum wave elevation. at_midship.
Comparing the pitch amplitudes, which are also presented in
Figures 9, 10, and 11, we see that at the lower Froude numbers (0.204 and
0.272) the theory predicted an increase in pitch of no more than 8 percent due to the modified bow and only a small shift in the wave length of
maximum response at Fr = 0.408.- Thus the magnitude of the predicted pitch amplitudes was practically the same as obtained experimentally. As
indicated, the bow modification had only a minor effect on the pitch
amplitudes and the comparison plots show that the strip theory predicted
the trend of this effect very well.
Turning to Figures 12, 13, and 14, which give the heave and pitch phases, we find that the theory predicted a very small decrease in both
pitch and heave phases due to the modified bow, only about 10 to 15 degrees
at the wave length of maximum response
LA
0.9. The experiments showedpractically no change in the phases due to the modified bow. Considering how little effect a 10- to 15-degree phase change has on the total ship motion, the agreement between theory and experiment for the phase angles is
felt to be quite acceptable. However, it should be pointed out that for
the maximum speed case, Fr = 0.408, there were noticeable discrepancies
between theory and experiments (Figure 14) both for the heave and the pitch phases in the short wave-length range
LA
> 1.0.CONCLUSIONS
This study shows that the Frank close-fit ship-motion computer pro-gram predicted the pitch and heave motions with quite satisfactory accuracy
for the Mariner hull form at speeds less than and possibly also equal to
the maximum design speed (Fr :.-:. 0.28); above this speed,_ the agreement was
rather poor.
The Frank computer program predicted the head-seas motions with good
accuracy for the destroyer hull form (Ship A) without the bow modification at the three ship speeds tested (Fr = 0.20, 0.27, 0.41). Furthermore, the
effect of the bow modification on the pitch motions was satisfactorily
predicted by the theory. However, for this particular bow modification,
the theory overestimated the increase in heave amplitudes; it indicated an
increase of up to 20 percent whereas experimental results gave less than
lb-percent increase, It is important
to
'note that despite thisconsider-able discrepancy in the heave response, both theory And experiment predicted the sate trend, namely that the modified bow cOnfiguratioliwould increase
heave amplitude.
It has not been possible to find
any
explanation for this discrepancyin the heave response for the destroyer with the bow Modification. We note,
however, that the agreement.between strip theory and experiment has been
found to be. quitesatisfactory for the heave amplitudes of three other
destroyer hulls with large bulbs and domes: (1) the Davidson A form (Smith
and SalVesen)3 (2) the USS SPOKANE (unpublished Work) and (3) Ship 5
(unpublished NSRDC Study
by
Wang).fik 15-.to IS-percent etrcir in predicting heave motions May be quite
acceptable fbr most design applications as long as the trend is predicted
correctly. . It
is
felt therefore that for most practical design purposes,the Frank Close-fit ship-motion computer program can be used to predict with
satisfactory accuracy the head-seas motions not Only of.regular hull formS
but also of hulls with large bulbous bow configurations.

APPENDIX
LINEARITY PLOTS AND TABULATED VALUES FOR THE TEST MODELS
To evaluate the linearity of the responses with respect to wave height, several tests were run at each wave length using wave heights from
0.3 to 2.8 inches. The heave and pitch amplitudes were nondimensionalized
with respect to wave height and wave slope, respectively, and plotted
against wave height. The heave and pitch amplitudes from these tests are
presented in Figures 15-21 for the wave length cases in which four or more
runs were performed. The responses seemed to be quite linear for most of
the cases. However, as seen in Figure 17, nonlinearities were present in
the heave amplitudes for the Mariner hull at Fr = 0.30 and wave lengths
LA = 0.70 and L/X = 0.80. The test data clearly indicated that the nondimensional heave amplitudes decreased with an increase in the wave
height for these two wave lengths. Some slight nonlinearities also seemed
to be present for both heave and pitch amplitudes of the Ship A destroyer hull without bow modification (Figures 19b-21b). The nondimensional ampli-tudes appeared to increase with an increase in wave height. This type of nonlinear trend is rather unusual for head-seas motions. The nondimensional
amplitudes of pitch and heave motions are usually found to decrease with an
increase in wave height for those cases where nonlinearities are observed. Furthermore, it is interesting to note that data of Figures 20 and 21 for the destroyer hull with bow modification did not seem to show any nonlinear
trend within the range of wave heights employed. This was quite unexpected
since the test data for the Davidson A form with the large bulb configuration
had showed considerable nonlinearity in heave amplitudes with respect to
wave height.3.
Aside from the above-mentioned nonlinearities, the test data
pre-sented in this Appendix seem in general to be quite linear. However,
be-cause of the rather large spread in the data, a mean line was drawn through the test points for each case in order, to Obtain the mean values listed in
Tables 2-4. These mean values were used in the comparison
of experimental
and theoretical results. Values calculated by the Frank computer program
are also indicated in Tables 2-4.

-13. ABSTRACT
The: objective of this study was to evaluate more precisely the accuracy of ship-motion strip theory for ships in head seas. Theoretical and experimental results were compared for the Mariner
hull and for a destroyer hull With and without
a
bow modification.In view of the good agreement found, it was concluded that fiOr practical design purposes, strip theory can be used to.predict head-seas motions with satisfactory accuracy provided there is
adequate station representation.
