Preface
Masses that are added to a ship’s bulk will determine the inertial properties of that
ship under motion. Computation of the effect of such added masses of various bodies
has been the subject of many journal articles, as well as chapters in various textbooks
and research monographs on theoretical and applied hydrodynamics. This book is
part of that literature
The present volume is a revised translation of the second edition of the author’s
book “Added masses of ship structures” published in 2007 in Russian by Morwest
Publishers (St. Petersburg). The first Russian edition was published in 1986; in the
second edition the author also reviewed results obtained in this field over the intervening
20 years
In particular, we included a brief overview of existing numerical methods for
determination of added masses (Chap. 9). The well-developed numerical methods
allow us to go far beyond pure theoretical considerations which give explicit results
only for simple models. However, in many cases, for practical engineering purposes
one needs to know the dependence of various added masses on the main parameters
of the system for various models. In particular, these model cases can be used to
verify the accuracy of numerical results
