Abstract
The added-mass characteristics of shiplike forms, oscillating vertically or horizontally in a free surface, are derived for a three-parameter family of forms. The parameters varied are the draft-beam ratio, the section-area coefficient, and the ratio to the draft of the radius of gyration about the transverse axis in the free surface. The added-mass coefficients are presented as a series of curves for about 70 members of this family. It is suggested that the added masses of arbitrary shiplike sections may be obtained, with only small error, from these curves by interpolation at the parametric values of the given section.Keywords
