An approximative method for the determination of the hydrodynamic coefficients of a ship in case of swaying and yawing on shallow water

This report gives information about the hydrodynamic coefficients of a box-shaped ship with zero speed of advance in case of pure swaying and yawing on shallow water. In the horizontal plane a harmonically oscillating motion is imposed on the ship; the hydrodynamic coefficients for the modes of motion of the ship are determined from the exciting...
