... Derived Quantities Derived quantities are those responses of a ship that are a result of ship motions or the radiated-diffracted waves. These include factors such as accelerations at the bow, green water on deck, slamming, structural loads, and added resistance in waves.
From page 22...
... The ship motion amplitudes and phase angles relative to the incident wave were taken from the experimental results. The Froude number is 0.3 and for this particular case of maximum motions in head seas, >/L = 1.2.
From page 23...
... The second contribution results F p from the interaction of the radiation-diffraction waves with themselves.4 Such approaches to added resistance prediction were necessary in the days when strip-theory methods were the only means of predicting ship motions. With the advent of three-dimensional methods for the prediction of seakeeping, it has become feasible to pre dict added resistance by means of direct pressure integra tion over a ship's hull surface.

... The two figures show the vertical-bow accelerations in head seas for a tumblehome model in regular waves with a A/L of 1.0 for two wave steepnesses, 1/45 and 1/30, and at a Froude number of 0.21. As can be seen, the accelerations appear to be inverted trochoids, with the steeper waves providing "sharper" troughs.
