Numerical Methods for Seakeeping Problems
暫譯: 海洋穩定性問題的數值方法

本書描述了評估當今船舶在海浪中穩定性行為的最新數值方法。

利用最新技術來評估船舶在波浪中的動力學已變得必要。進行穩定性計算的數值方法範圍從簡單的條帶理論到複雜的非線性非穩態數值計算流體力學（CFD）技術，這些技術解決了非穩態雷諾平均納維-斯托克斯（URANS）方程以及連續性方程和非線性運動方程。

本書涵蓋了條帶理論、格林函數法、線性和非線性蘭金源法以及URANS方法。現在是第二版修訂版，本書包括了波浪引起的船舶振動對波浪載荷的影響、淺水條件下的漂流力，以及部分填充水箱和游泳池中的波動。

本書將對研究生、博士候選人以及海洋工程、海洋和船舶工程領域的工程師感興趣。

Bettar O. el Moctar studied Naval Architecture at the University of Hamburg/Germany. He graduated in 1997 and has since then worked as a research assistant in different departments of the Hamburg University of Technology, where he has specialized in computational fluid dynamics. He completed his doctorate at the Hamburg University of Technology with a dissertation entitled Numerical Computation of Hydrodynamic Forces Acting on Maneuvering Ships. In 2000 he joined the Hamburg Ship Model Basin (HSVA) and worked as a research engineer. He was the head of department of fluid dynamics at Germanischer Lloyd/Germany from 2002 to 2013 and the global head of research at DNV GL advisory services/Germany from 2013 to 2016. Since 2008, he has been working at the University Duisburg-Essen as a full professor for ship technology and Ocean Engineering and the head of the institute of sustainable and autonomous maritime systems.

Thomas E. Schellin: Thomas E. Schellin has been lecturing at the Institute of Ship Technology, Ocean Engineering and Transport Systems (ISMT) of the University of Duisburg-Essen, since the beginning of 2016. Currently, he also works on a freelance relationship for DNV GL SE. In 2004, after his formal retirement from Germanischer Lloyd (now DNV GL SE), he spent a semester teaching Ship Dynamics at Virginia Tech University, Blacksburg, and from 2007 to 2014 he taught also at the Technical University of Berlin. His work at Germanischer Lloyd (GL) comprised the development of hydrodynamic analysis methods for ships and offshore structures, coordination of nationally and internationally sponsored research projects, and formulation of class rules for fast ships, offshore structures, and offshore service vessels. He has published widely and is a life fellow of ASME and SNAME.

Heinrich Söding: Heinrich Söding was born in Dresden (Germany) in 1936. Grown up in Münster and Hamburg, he began studying physics in Hamburg, then Naval Architecture in Hannover and Hamburg, receiving a Ph.D. in 1967 from the Hamburg University. He then joined Germanischer Lloyd from 1967 to 1970, mainly developing and applying load predictions of large containerships. From 1970 to 1979 he was a professor for computer-aided ship design at the Technical University Hannover and from 1980 a professor for ship theory at the Hamburg University until his retirement in 2001. He led about 50 scholars to their Ph.D. degree in the fields of ship design, seakeeping, and maneuvering. Besides his university obligations, he performed numerous investigations for industry and courts of justice on the fields of lines fairing, hydrostatics, damage stability, resistance, seakeeping and maneuvering of ships and airplane ditching. His computer programs for these topics are used widely.

Bettar O. el Moctar 在德國漢堡大學學習海軍建築，於1997年畢業，之後在漢堡科技大學的不同部門擔任研究助理，專注於計算流體力學。他在漢堡科技大學完成博士學位，論文題目為《作用於操縱船隻的水動力學力的數值計算》。2000年，他加入漢堡船模水池（HSVA）擔任研究工程師。2002年至2013年，他擔任德國德國船級社（Germanischer Lloyd）流體力學部門的負責人，並於2013年至2016年擔任DNV GL顧問服務的全球研究負責人。自2008年以來，他在杜伊斯堡-埃森大學擔任船舶技術與海洋工程的全職教授，並擔任可持續與自主海洋系統研究所的所長。

Thomas E. Schellin：自2016年初以來，Thomas E. Schellin一直在杜伊斯堡-埃森大學的船舶技術、海洋工程與運輸系統研究所（ISMT）授課。目前，他也以自由職業者的身份為DNV GL SE工作。2004年，在德國德國船級社（現為DNV GL SE）正式退休後，他在維吉尼亞理工大學（Virginia Tech University）教授船舶動力學，並於2007年至2014年在柏林工業大學授課。他在德國德國船級社的工作包括為船舶和海上結構開發水動力學分析方法、協調國內和國際贊助的研究項目，以及制定快速船舶、海上結構和海上服務船的級別規則。他的著作廣泛，並且是ASME和SNAME的終身會員。

Heinrich Söding：Heinrich Söding於1936年出生於德國德累斯頓。在明斯特和漢堡長大，他在漢堡開始學習物理，然後在漢諾威和漢堡學習海軍建築，於1967年獲得漢堡大學的博士學位。1967年至1970年，他加入德國德國船級社，主要開發和應用大型集裝箱船的載荷預測。1970年至1979年，他在漢諾威工業大學擔任計算機輔助船舶設計的教授，1980年起在漢堡大學擔任船舶理論教授，直到2001年退休。他指導約50名學者獲得船舶設計、抗浪性和操縱等領域的博士學位。除了大學的職責外，他還為工業和司法機構進行了大量調查，涉及船舶的線條整流、水靜力學、損傷穩定性、阻力、抗浪性和操縱等領域。他針對這些主題的計算機程序被廣泛使用。
