摘要
In China, the research works on the seakeeping of ships were started at the middle of 50's. At that time the ship models were generally tested in head or following waves in towing tanks. Afterwards, based on the theory of linear superpo- sition and stripping method, the simple ship motions were predicted theoretically. During the beginning of 70's, a 69×46×4m^3 seakeeping tank with a large movable bridge on it had been completed in the China Ship Scientific Research Center, Wuxi, then models could be tested in regular and irregular long crested. waves along any directions, thus realistic sea waves were simulated. In order to meet the demand of the oil-drilling beneath the sea bed, and to match the design works of drilling platforms, a large amount of research works on the wave forces acting on different kinds of poles were started. In this paper, the research works of recent ten years on the optimum seakeeping ship forms, roll and anti-rolling system, ship stability, waves and wave forces acting on ship and offshore structures are briefly reviewed. The references cited are limited to the papers published in the Shipbuilding of China, Advances in Hydrodynamics and some proceedings of international confer- ences.
