platform motions, and the exciting forces for motions
are solution of the forward speed diffraction problem.
This model problem can be considered first step in
merging of separate fields of resistance and propulsion,
seakeeping, and maneuvering. The specific physical
problem of interest is a 1:46.6 scale model of a modern
naval combatant, DTMB 5512, advancing in regular
head waves. The experiments include the measurement
of unsteady resistance, heave force and pitch moment
for a wide range of incident waves for identification of
the effects of the Froude number, wavelength and wave
steepness. In addition, a detailed mapping of unsteady
free-surface elevations is conducted for a selected test
condition. In comparison to previous works, the present
study provides much more detailed data with rigorous
uncertainty assessment for CFD validation and
systematic analyses of the flow physics in ship
hydrodynamics covering non-linear responses of forces
and moment and distributions of free surface turbulence.

2. TEST DESIGN
The tests are conducted in the IIHR towing tank,
which is 100 m long and 3.048 m wide and deep. The
tank is equipped with a drive carriage for housing the
carriage controls, computer (PC), and data-acquisition
instrumentation and a 3.7-m trailer which is used as a
platform for instrumentation and a point of attachment
for models. The carriage/trailer are cable driven across
level rails by a 15-horsepower motor and can reach
speeds of 3 m/s. The carriage speed (Uc) is monitored
with an IIHR designed and constructed speed circuit.
The details of the carriage speed measurement system
and uncertainty assessment are provided in Longo and
Stern (19984. A plunger-type wave-maker at the north
end of the tank is utilized for generation of regular
head waves. The wave-maker is powered by a
hydraulic system and controlled through a shore-based
PC and National Instruments Labview VI software and
MTS controller, and it is capable of generating regular
head waves with wavelengths of 0.5~6.0 m and wave
steepnesses 0.025~0.3 (Longo et al. 1998b). An
automated, moveable sidewall wave-damper system is
used in the towing-tank for wave absorption, which
enables twenty-minute intervals between carriage runs
for steady- and unsteady-flow tests.
DTMB model 5512 is selected for the tests
(Fig. 14. It has a length of L=3.048 m and was
manufactured at DTMB from molded fiber-reinforced
Plexiglas and equipped with appendages (brass shafts
and struts and wooden rudders) and stainless-steel,
twin propellers, although the present tests are for the
bare-hull condition. The model is fitted with studs at
x=0.05 to initiate transition to turbulent flow. The
studs are cylindrical with 1.6 mm height, 3.2 mm
diameter, and 10.0 mm spacing and located at x=0.05.
The model is rigidly fixed to the carriage using a
single-point mount and towed at the dynamic sunk and
trimmed condition, which is determined in calm water
condition (without wave) for each Froude number.
Two right-handed Cartesian coordinate systems
are used in the towing tank. The model coordinate
system (x, y, z) is attached to the test model with the
origin at the intersection of the undisturbed free-
surface and forward perpendicular (FP) of the model.
The tank coordinate system (X, Y. Z) is fixed in the
towing tank. The axes of the coordinate systems are
normalized with model length and directed
downstream, transverse, and upward, respectively.
The unsteady test conditions are determined with
Froude number (Fr), wavelength (~) and wave
steepnesses (Ak). Fr and Ak are defined as

where g is the local gravity acceleration, and A is the
amplitude of the incident wave. As shown in Table 1,
forces and moment data are procured for a fairly wide
range of conditions: low (0.19), medium (0.28), mid-
high (0.34), and high (0.41) Froude numbers; small
(0.025), small-median (0.05, 0.075), and median
(0.10) wave steepnesses; and short (1.524m), median
(3.048m), and long (4.572m) wavelengths. The
encounter frequency fe varies from low (0.8 Hz) to high
(2.5 Hz). For seakeeping, the corresponding H/\ covers
very small (1/125), small (1/60), median (1/40) and

uncertainties, a d the results should be representative of

fomes ad moment results, a test case of media Fr

for the m read f ee-surfae elevations, because This
condition produces She most maageale linear

3. MEASUREMENT SYSTEMS
3.1. Forces and moment
The measurement system for the forces and
moment consists of a four-channel (two force, two
moment) strain-gage loadcell and signal conditioner
and a carriage-based PC with 12-bit AD card. A shore-
based capacitance-wire probe and PC are used to sample

The signals are sampled from the loadcell and the
wave probe, amplified and filtered in the signal
conditioners, digitized through AD conversion in the
carriage and shore-based PC's, and finally converted to
time histories of forces and moment (CT(t), CH(t),
CM(t)) and incident wave It. Each time history
consists of 2048 samples producing acquisition times
of 30, 10, 15, and 10 seconds for Fr=0.19, 0.28, 0.34,
and 0.41 respectively.
The phase of the incident wave at the position of
the capacitance-wire probe is determined with the first-
order FS harmonic phase of time history zesty, i.e. A,.
When the data acquisition is started (t=O), the wave
<17y probe is in advance of the FP of the model by a
distance D (=11.99m). Therefore, a delay of COLD/\ is
required to determine the reference phase:

The measurement of The farfield region is
completed with 32 longit dinal (constat-y) cuts, paced
at fly O 01 between the maxim m beam of The model
ad the sidewall damper The data acquisition is
triggered with photoelectric switches 9 seconds prior to
the model FP passmg The wave probes ad ended when
the measurement region is completely scatted The
total time interval for data acquisition is 13 3 seconds,
ad 2700 samples are recorded in every carriage r m
15-25 carriage r ms are pe formed at each constat-y
cut to ensure a satisfactory di tr~bution of incident
wave phases at The bedimming of the raw time histories
As a example, one of The raw time histories (z, y, t l I
taken at y 0 082 is show in Fig 4 Note That The
incident wave is record d in The initial 9 seconds, ad
this i fommation is used to detemmine the initial phase
(Y)
In the model coordinate system (x, y, /), the data
acquisition at each y-cut is started at x=-D L, ad The
wave probe moves in the positive x-direction with
constant can i me speed U. As such the x-position of
the measurement is dependent on the sample time (t)
Therefore, the measured raw time hi tories a
converted to spatial dishibutions of the free-smfae
elevations with

(19)
Fig 5 shows The spatial dishibutions of free-smfae

g oup of spatial dishibutions of the msteady
tree ^ aortae elevations at a certain y cut, a dish ibution
of free-surfae elevation on the mitial phase is obtained

each y-cut, the first point xo (xo=-D L, D 14 45m) is
upstream ad far from the model Therefore, the first-
order FS harmonic phase (Ye) at xo represent The phase
of the local incident wave A phase delay of AD/\ is
considered for the incident wave at x=0 in addition,
because The data is obt ined at different time for
different x-positions in each y-cut, a time shift of

3.3. Nearfield free surface elevations
The nearfield measurement system consists of the
same equipment as for the farfield measurement system
but arranged differently. The two wave-probes are
attached to the moving carriage. As shown in Fig. 7,
probe 2 is installed forward of the model on the trailer
for acquiring the incident wave, and probe 1 is installed
on a trailer-mounted automated traverse for measuring
the unsteady free-surface elevations. The measurement
area is mapped with 22 and 26 variably-spaced (in the
x-coordinate) transverse cuts at the bow and stern,
respectively. The measurement location spacing in the
y-coordinate is variable but mostly i\y=0.005. Two
points are measured in each carriage run with a probe-
movement. At each measurement point 3000 samples
are acquired in a 9-second time interval. In the data
acquisition procedure, time histories for the unsteady
free-surface (z~x,y,t)) and incident wave (z~(t)) are
obtained. In the post-processing procedure, the reference
phase is determined according to the time history of the
incident wave, and the FS harmonic amplitudes and
phases are computed for unsteady free-surface
elevations. The phase of the incident wave at probe 2 is
determined with the first harmonic phase of the sampled
wave elevation A,. Since wave probe 2 is installed at
x=-D/L (D=1.905m), a phase delay of CHID/\ is
considered to determine the reference phase:

4. UNCERTAINTY ASSESSMENT
Uncertainty assessments are completed for the
results on three levels: Raw time histories, FS
harmonics and the FS-reconstructed time histories.
Following the AIAA Standard (S-017A-1999), the
uncertainty of a measurement variable is defined as the
root-sum-square (RSS) of the bias limit and precision
limit for a 95% confidence level. For a raw time history
the bias limit is estimated according to the
data-reduction equation and elementary bias limits, and
the precision limit is estimated with repeated end-to-
end data-acquisition and reduction cycles. The bias
limits of the FS harmonics are determined either with
the time mean values of the raw-time-history bias
limits or with the bias gradient limits. The precision
limits of the FS harmonics are determined using the
same procedure as for the raw time histories. Finally,
the bias limit and precision limit of the FS-
reconstructed time history are computed with the bias
and precision limits of the FS harmonics according to
the RSS method. Detailed descriptions follow.
4.1. Raw time histories
Bias limit: For convenience we assume that the
measured value X is determined at time t with
independent variables Vi for i=1,2, ,M. The data-
reduction equation of time history X(t) is represented
as:
X(t) = X(V1,V2, ,VM it)
The bias limit for X(t) is determined with
(24)
B2 = ~(~iBVi )2 + (qtBt )2 (25)
i=!
where the sensitivity coefficients are determined with
OX OX
qVi aVi ' At at
(26)
and BVi and Bt are the elementary bias limits.
Respectively for the forces and moment coefficients
(CT, CH and CM) and the near and farfield free-surface
elevations ((FF & (NF) the data reduction equations are
as follows:
CT (t) = CT (FX'r,UC,S,t)
(27)
CH (t) = CH (FZ, r,Uc,S't) (28)
CM (t) = CM (My, r,Uc,S,L,t) (29)
OFF (X,y,t) = ZFF (y,Z,t,UC,D,L)
ZNF(X'Y't) =ZNF(x,y,z,L,t) (31)
The elementary bias limits BFX, BFZ, BMY and BZ are
estimated in end-to-end calibration procedures, and BP,
BUC, BS, BL are taken from historical uncertainty
assessment efforts (Longo and Stern 19984. Bt is
provided by manufacturer specifications, and bias
limits related to the probe position BX, BY and BD are
estimated during the setup of the measurement
systems. Note that the total bias limit BX is a function
of time in the unsteady cases.

Precision limit: The precision limit is estimated
with multiple end-to-end dota-acqmsition ad reduction
cycles According to She A AA Stadard, the precision
limit for a single test of variable X is detffmmed by
P = Kt (32)
where K is the coverage factor ad equals 2 for a 95%

4.2. FS harmordes
In order to determine the bias limits for the FS
harmonic amplit de. ad phases, it is ass med Chat the
measured value X deviates f om the real value X' with a
bias error d When the random error is not considered,
the real ad measured value are related with
X = X'+ 3 (36)
The bias error d is not a constant, ad it is usually a
function of the measurement value For simplification,
we ass me She relation is linear, i e
3 = Y, + TV' (37)
where v is She bias g adient, ad do is the constant pa
of the bias error The FS harmonic amplitudes ad
phases (n=O) for She biased ad mbiased cases are
related as follows:
0~ = T' | (I + t )X (t)co~(2mrfl) At + , | Y, cos(2mrfl) At

The bias errors for She FS harmonic amplitudes ad
phases can Then be detemmined as
3~ = X~ X~ = X~
(33) A, = rim rim = 0
The above deductions indicate that the bias error of the
FS harmonic amplitude does not directly depend on the
bias error, but on She bias g adient of the measured
variable Also, She bias error of the FS harmonic phase
is independent of the bias error of the measured
(34) variable X According to Eq (42) The bias limits of the
FS harmonic amplit des can be determined as
B.., = , X~ for n ~ O (44)

where Ire is the limit (maximal magnitude) of the bias
g adient, which can be calculated with the data
reduction equation ad elementary bias limits The
bias limit of the perch FS harmonic amplitude is
determined as

BE = , | Bent = 2Bx
According to Eq (43) the bias limits of the FS
harmonic phases equal zero, i e P =0 The bias limits
of She adjusted phases 3_s) a then determined with
Eq (11) ad equations for determining the reference
phase Yr For example, the bias limits of the adjusted
harmonic phases for She forces ad moment a

5 RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS
5.1. Incident wave
For all m dead tests, time histories of the incident
head wave (zip are f mdamentally impo tat references
for all ocher measured variables ~ Fig 8a, a sample
time history is preset ted for She media test case, i e
Fr=0 28, Ak=0 05, ~ =3 048 m, where the incident head
wave frequency is f =07155Hz ad the encomter
frequency f is 1 2175 H Ahhonfh 6 is case was
chosen for She detailed uncfftamty assessment,
experiff ce has shown that the ocher incident waves are
similarly repediale m terms of amplitude ad frequency
ad possess low uncetamty for these two parameters
Longo et al 1998) Note that the incident wave
elevation in the figure represents a nearly perfect first
harmonic signal during She initial 8 seconds of She time
hi tory but is somewhat distorted m the foal 2 seconds
due to the closing distance between wave probe ad ship

of the fi st-hamonic amplitude ad the uncertdinty in

2 65%, respectively, which is based on multiple tests

multiple tests, She uncertamty of She enco mter
frequency f is determined with time histories of CM

acuray m the time domain of the measurements Note
that f is determined with low r uncertamty th m f,
because CM includes more wave periods than Zb i e
f f The once tointy of f, A, ad f for the waze-
eievations tests is expected to be at le ff as good as for
the media test case

(P=Ko) obtained with multiple tests (N=ll). (Here the
bias limits are not provided because they are relatively
small and not essential for the discussion). The figures
show that the zeroth and first harmonic amplitudes and
the first harmonic phases, which are the main focus of
the discussions, can be determined with very low
uncertainties. Since the corresponding harmonic
amplitudes are too small in the median test case, the
uncertainties for determining the higher harmonic
phases are very high. However, in the case of high-Fr
when the higher harmonics have significant amplitudes,
see Fig. 16, the phase can also be determined at low
uncertainty. Because of the limited recording time
(~lOs), the uncertainties for determining phases of the
half FS harmonics are very large.

differences between the incident wave (~ and the
unsteady responses of CT, CH, and CM can be
investigated clearly in the figures, Note that the
incident wave signal is determined at x=0 and the
wavelength equals the model length in this case. The
resistance (CT) and pitch moment (CM) reach maximal
values when the peak of the incident wave hit the
forebody of the model ship at t/T=0.3 and t/T=0.35,
respectively. The heave force becomes maximal when
the peak of the wave hit the midbody (t/T=0.54.

case, the time histories are reconstructed and presented
in Fig. 10. The results of the steady test are also plotted
in the figure for comparison. Slight differences between
the steady results and the mean of the unsteady results
for CT, CH, and CM can be observed in Fig. 10. The

Uncertainty assessment results for the FS-
reconstructed time histories are plotted in Fig. 10 as
uncertainty bands. An analysis of the uncertainty
assessment results is given in Table 2. The precision

Fig. 20: The oth (a) and 1St (b) harmonic amplitude and
the 1St harmonic phase (c) for the unsteady
free-surface elevation
5.5. Free surface elevations
The free-surface elevation data provided for CFD
validation includes the FS-reconstructed unsteady free-
surface elevations and uncertainty assessment results.
Detailed analysis of time histories at select locations in
the wavefield have verified that the unsteady wavefield
exhibits a strong first-harmonic response and, therefore,
can be represented with a first-order FS. The zeroth and
first FS harmonic amplitudes and the first FS harmonic
phase are computed in both far- and nearfield regions
and shown in Fig. 20. The zeroth harmonic amplitude
(Fig. 20a) of the wavefield displays the typical wave
pattern characteristics of a fine hull form advancing in
calm water, including diverging and transverse waves
and a dominant fore-shoulder wave. The zeroth
harmonic amplitude is, in fact, two times of the mean
unsteady free surface elevation. According to the test
results the difference between the mean unsteady free
surface elevation and the steady free surface elevation is
within the uncertainty band. The amplitude of the
incident wave (0.006) is 43% of the dynamic range of
the steady free surface elevation (0.0144. Fig. 20b
includes contours of the first FS harmonic amplitude in
the wavefield. Note that the contours are contained in a
wedge-shaped region with semiangle of 24.5°. A
dominant crestline is observed swept backward from
the forebody shoulder, and a weaker troughline
emanates from the transom corner. The maximum of
the first harmonic amplitude (0.01) is 1.7 times of the
incident wave amplitude. Fig. 20c shows contours of
the first FS harmonic phase. Interestingly, the two
regions where the contour lines are most affected seem
to be associated with the crest and troughlines of the
first FS harmonic amplitude. In comparison to the
uniform phase distribution of the incident wave (-
2~xL/~), phase leads and lags are present at the
forebody shoulder and transom corner, respectively,
and the dynamic range is about ~/3. Distributions of
the zeroth and first FS harmonic amplitude and the
first harmonic phase are used to reconstruct the
unsteady wave patterns. Examples are shown in Fig. 21

The unsteady perturbation response of the free-
surface elevation, i.e. the diffraction wave, is computed
with the reconstructed unsteady free-surface elevation
and the incident wave pattern (Eq. (1744. Since the
unsteady free-surface elevation is reconstructed with
the first-order FS, the diffraction wave contains only
first-order FS harmonics. The distributions of the
harmonic amplitude and phase are shown in Fig. 22.

The contour patterns of the diffraction wave amplitude
(Fig. 22a) look similar to that of the first-order FS
amplitude of the unsteady free-surface elevation
(Fig. 20b). Two maximums of the diffraction wave
amplitude initiate at the forebody shoulder and transom
corner and diverge from the model at 24.5° with respect
to the centerplane. The maximal amplitude of the
diffraction wave (0.004) is about 40% of that of the
unsteady free surface elevations. There are two peaks in
the phase distribution of the diffraction wave (Fig. 22b):
one is near the forebody shoulder (x=0.354; the other is
inboard of the diverging stern wave crest (x=l.O94. This
implies that the diffraction waves originate, in principle,
from the forebody and stern regions of the model. This
can also be seen in the time history of the diffraction
wave (Fig. 234. Note that in Fig. 22b large errors exist
for the phase in regions of very low amplitude.

A summary of the uncertainty assessments for the
farfield free-surface elevations is provided in Table 4 at
y=0.082 and y=0.232 for the steady and unsteady case,
respectively. For the unsteady case precision limits are
determined at six phases and averaged. For both the
steady and unsteady cases, the values are spatially
averaged in the region of x=O~1 and also time
averaged for the unsteady case. Table 4 shows that the
bias and precision limits are nearly the same order for
both the steady and unsteady case. In the steady case
the bias limit is larger than the precision limit, but
switched for the unsteady case. For both the steady and
unsteady cases the main bias error source is from Uc.
The uncertainty levels (1.5% and 3.3%) are reasonable.

Table 5. Note that for the unsteady cases uncertainty
assessments are completed for the FS-reconstructed
time histories, and the results are time-averaged. For
both steady and unsteady cases, precision limits are
obtained with multiple tests (N=104. Results for all
cases demonstrate reasonable uncertainty levels of 1.1-

regular head waves. Unsteady resistance, heave force,
and pitch moment are procured at a fairly wide range of
test conditions of interest. Unsteady free-surface
elevations are mapped in a case of median Froude
number, long wavelength and low wave steepness. The
test uncertainties assessed following the AIAA Standard
(1999) are in reasonable levels.
The mean of the unsteady resistance coefficient is
larger than the steady resistance coefficient, especially
at low Froude number and high wave steepness, and the
difference, i.e. the added resistance coefficient,
decreases with increasing Froude number but increases
with increasing wavelength or wave steepness. The
mean of the unsteady heave force coefficient is almost
the same as the steady heave force coefficient, and it
decreases linearly with increasing Froude number
without dependencies on the wave steepness and
wavelength. The mean of the unsteady pitch moment
coefficient is nearly the same as the steady pitch
moment coefficient, but it is slightly larger at low
Froude numbers.
Test results for unsteady forces and moment
demonstrate mostly linear responses in cases of median
and long wavelength, which agree with the previous
experiments and analyses basing on the traditional strip
theory for ship motions. For the linear responses, the
amplitudes of the exciting forces (or the first harmonics)
increase linearly with increasing wave steepness at the
same Froude number and wavelength. However, non-
linear responses are investigated in cases of short
wavelength and high Froude number. The non-linear
responses contain significant second-order harmonics,
and their amplitudes increase non-linearly with
increasing wave amplitude. Generally, the first order
harmonic amplitudes of the forces and moment
coefficients increase with increasing wavelength or
wave steepness and decrease with increasing Froude
number. Relative to the incident wave at the forward
perpendicular of the model, phase lags exist and only
depend on the wavelengths.
The unsteady response of the free-surface elevation
is linear in the case of median Froude number and long
wavelength, except for a small area near the ship hull at
the stern in the transom wave field. The mean of the
unsteady free surface elevation shows the same patterns -(0b)095
as the diverging and transverse waves in the steady case.
The reconstructed unsteady free surface elevation has
maximal amplitude of 1.7 times of the incident wave
amplitude. Relative to the incident wave patterns, phase
leads and lags are present in the range of ~/3 at the
forebody shoulder and transom corner, respectively. The
free-surface turbulence levels of the steady and unsteady
cases are nearly the same in the high-turbulence region
at the wake center, but in the low-turbulence region off
the wake center the turbulence level of the unsteady case
is higher. The maximal amplitude of the diffraction
17
wave is about 40% of that of the unsteady free surface
elevation. The phase distribution indicates that the
diffraction waves originate from the forebody and stern
regions of the model.
Results of uncertainty assessments indicate that
the main uncertainty source for the forces, moment,
and nearfield free-surface elevation measurements is
the precision error. The precision error can be reduced
in the future by improving the stability of the
measurement systems and by increasing the recording
time for unsteady signals. For the farfield free-surface
measurement the bias limit is as significant as the
precision limit, and the main bias error results from the
carriage speed. Therefore, the speed of the carriage
should be controlled better for future unsteady tests.
The test data and the uncertainty results is being
used for CFD validation in the IIHR, and it will be
archived at "I" for
general dissemination. For future tests, phase-averaged
PIV measurements of the unsteady flowfield are being
conducted in the IIHR towing tank using the same test
condition as for the unsteady free-surface tests, and the
results will appear soon.

DISCUSSION
R. Beck
University of Michigan, USA
You monhoned that the diffractia wave
field was 200% of the incident wave.
Since the diffracted waves aga ust a wall
is double the incident wave height
(100%), can you explau why you found
such large diffractia waves?
AUTHOR'S REPLY
The diffraction waves are 67% of the
incident wave height, i.e., (0.004/0.006)
DISCUSSION
H. Bingham
Tech ica University of Denmark,
Denmark
What theory are you using to generate
your non inear incident waves? Have
you checked that you can indeed
produce a steady non inear wave?
AUTHOR'S REPLY
The incident waves are f rst-ha monic
inear waves.

In order to study the u steady flow in the
wake produced by the waves, I wou d
ike to know if you've schedu ed
experiments using PIV in a ta k.
AUTHOR'S REPLY
Yes. Cu rent efforts in the IIHR towing
are concermed with the expemmenta
setup and measurement by PIV of the
unsteady flowfield at He era conil ml -x
stations of the 5512 model.
Measurements vi I begin at x=0.935
(propeller plane) and then proceed to
forebody and wake stations.
