T&R Bulletin 1-39: The Status of Commercial Seakeeping Research (1982)

In a series of chapters, Professor Lewis has compiled a report on the status of seakeeping research in the united States as applied to commercial type ships. After an introduction, the report covers theory, data and needed research as regards the environment, ship motions, derived responses, applications, and concludes with a summary of needed seakeeping research. This report conveys the opinions of Professor Lewis, Panel H-7 and the Hydrodynamics committee and does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the SNAME as a whole.
