Abstract

A general expression for the drifting moment about the vertical axis of an oscillating ship in regular oblique waves is derived from the potential theory, following a similar procedure developed by Maruo for drifting force. Explicit analytical solutions for the drifting side force and yaw moment on thin ships in long waves are obtained in terms of simple elementary functions. The effect of the wave frequency, the draft of the ship, the displacement, and the phase angle of the ship oscillation are discussed.
