“…Determination of relational classification among hull form parameters Ayla Sayli and ship motions performance for a set of small vessels Ahmet Dursun Alkan, Merve Aydın The correlation analysis among the vessels in Cluster 1 (Vessel 01, 06, 09 and 11) for heave motion has showed a highly close approximation compared to the output of Simple Model [8,9] which was obtained by the correlation analysis of all 39 vessel variants, for 13 vessels with three loading conditions. In Simple Model, the ship motions were represented in function of hull form parameters of length to beam ratio, beam to draught ratio, length to volume ratio (LPP/B, B/T, L/ 1/3 ), speed to length ratio (Froude number, Fn) and wave length to ship length ratio (/L).…”
