... the development of the new Search and Rescue vessel for the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution with an overall length of 19.5 m (Keuning, Visch, et al. 2011). Especially, these smaller class of fast ships suffer from adverse operational effects while sailing in a seaway at high forward speeds...

... interactions between multiple floating bodies. The IRF convolutions for the free surface memory effect significantly reduce the computational effort compared to direct simulation. This will be demonstrated for both single and multi-body forward-speed, seakeeping simulations. ship frequency-response...
