2.1 Description <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> utilised <strong>seakeeping</strong> simulation method<br />

For this reason Blume [9] developed roll damping coecients, based on practical experiments<br />

<strong>of</strong> ships in model scale. With <strong>the</strong>se empirical coecients <strong>the</strong> roll damping can be corrected to a<br />

more realistic value. At this <strong>the</strong> correction includes also <strong>the</strong> damping inuence <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> bilge keels.<br />

The roll damping in E4ROLLS is considered with <strong>the</strong>se coecients <strong>of</strong> similar ships.<br />

2.1.1.4 Calculation settings<br />

The calculations for higher speeds (v > 18 kn) <strong>and</strong> short wave lengths lead to problems for <strong>the</strong><br />

surge, sway <strong>and</strong> yaw motion RAOs, which are reaching disproportionately high values or become<br />

singular. Consequently <strong>the</strong> problematic short wave lengths are excluded for higher speeds.<br />
