Hydrodynamic Analysis
When to Use This Skill
Use hydrodynamic analysis knowledge when:
- RAO calculation - Response Amplitude Operators for vessel motions
- Added mass & damping - Frequency-dependent hydrodynamic coefficients
- Wave loading - Diffraction, Froude-Krylov, radiation forces
- BEM analysis - Boundary Element Method for potential flow
- Software integration - WAMIT, AQWA, OrcaWave workflows
- Frequency domain - Linear wave theory analysis
- Time domain - Convolution for time-domain simulations
