The following report describes a computer solution to help predict
the heave and roll response of free floating bodies of cylindrical shape
when excited by random seas with known spectra.
The basic concepts of harmonic analysis and statistics used in the
method are first briefly reviewed. The report then presents a detailed
derivation of the linear heave and roll response amplitude operators,
that is the expressions of the vertical and angular displacements produced
by a simple harmonic wave of one foot amplitude.
The second part of the report reviews the computation procedure
and the program's logic. It gives a detailed set of instructions for the
program users, reviews the program's capabilities and limitations, and
presents three case studies.
The heave and roll response programs are written for use with
XEROX SIGMA 7 computers. Program listings are given in the appendix.

Variability of currents in Great South Channel and over Georges Bank : observation and modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1992-06)This thesis consists of two parts: (I) variability of currents and water properties in late spring in the northern Great South Channel and (II) numerical study of stratified tidal rectification over Georges Bank. In part ... -
When an eddy encounters shelf-slope topography
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 2016-09)Eddies in the ocean move westwards. Those shed by western boundary currents must then interact with continental shelf-slope topography at the western boundary. The presence of other eddies and mean lows complicates this ... -
