Prediction Of Wave Load On A Large Container Ship

Large container ship is a common transport ship. Nowadays, modern container ships are developing in the direction of large-scale, high-speed and multi-purpose. Their hydrodynamic performance has a great impact on the safety of the work. In this paper, using the SESAM software system of DNV classification society, taking a large container ship as an example, the hydrodynamic characteristics analysis and wave load prediction of the whole ship were carried out by establishing the finite element structural model of the whole ship. The results were compared with the results of the ship model experiment. The calculation shows that the SESAM software can relatively accurately predict the motion response of large container ships and calculate the load of waves acting on the hull, which provides a basis for ship wave resistance assessment and structural design.
