Ship motion prediction through seakeeping analysis gives valuable insight that can inform design or refit decisions. While seakeeping analysis techniques have been used for decades, the nuances of how this analysis works is not necessarily widely appreciated. Join this high-level and accessible seminar to learn more about the fundamentals of seakeeping hydrodynamics, including the forces involved and calculation process. This provides an understanding of how these commonly used tools can benefit design decisions during new build or refit processes, as well as inform about limitations of approaches used. This is designed to engage a broad audience from ship owners and operators to students and naval architects curious about ship motion prediction from an industrial perspective. Fundamentals of Seakeeping Hydrodynamics is 1hr followed by a Seakeeping Workshop. The Seakeeping Workshop is a chance to get hands-on experience with seakeeping software and map how these fundamental ideas from the seminar are applied and used in ProteusDS. Attendees can bring their compatible laptops to perform analysis with free access to ProteusDS software during the workshop. ProteusDS download and activation instructions to be provided to registrants ahead of the conference.
