It would not be helpful, though, to try to overcome the difficultyby carrying the development to terms of higher order, for example,even though there would certainly then be damping effects in pitchingand heaving: such damping effects of higher order could evidently notintroduce damping into the motions of lower order. This is fortunatelynot the only way in which the difficulty can be attacked.
One ratherobvious procedure would be to retain the present theory, and simplyadd damping terms with coefficients to be fixed empirically, in somewhat the same fashion as has been proposed by St. Denis and Wein-blum[S.I], for example.There are still other possibilities for the derivation of theories whichwould include damping effects without requiring a semi-empiricaltreatment, but rather a different development with respect to a slenderness parameter.
One such possibility has already been hinted atabove in the course of the discussion of ships of broad mid-sectioncompared with ships of MichelPs type. If the ship is considered to beslender in both draft and beam the waves due to oscillations of theship would be of the same order with respect to all of the degrees offreedom; a theory utilizing this observation is being investigated.Another possibility would be to regard the draft as small while thebeam is finite (thus the ship is thought of as a flat body with aplaning motion over the water), i.e.

This still does not exhaust all of the possibilities with respect to various types of perturbation schemes, particularly if hulls of special shape are introduced. Consider, for example,a hull of the kind used for some types of sailing yachts, and shownschematically in Fig. 9.1.4. Such a hull has the property that its beamFig. 9.1.4. Cross section of hull of a yachtand draft are bothfinite,but the hull cross section consists of twothin disks joined at right angles like a T. In this case an appropriatedevelopment with respect to a slenderness parameter can also bemadein regarding both disks as being slender of the same order.
Theresult is a theory in which all oscillations, except the surge, would bedamped; this theory has been worked out too but not yet published.It would take up an inordinate amount of space in this book to dealwith all of the various types of possible perturbation schemesmentioned above. In addition, only one of them seems so far to permitexplicit solutions even in special cases, and that is the generalizationof the Michell theory which was explained at some length above.
Consequently, only this theory (in fact, only a special case of it) will bedeveloped in detail in the remainder of the chapter. In all othertheories, it seems necessary to solve certain integral equations beforethe motion of the ship can be determined even under the most restrictive hypothesessuch as a motion of pure translation with no oscillain detailEven in the case of the generalizedathecaseof(i.e.ship regarded as a thin disk disposedvertically) an explicit solution of the problem for the lowest orderto the velocity potential in terms of an integralapproximationtions whatever, for example.Michell theory^THE MOTION OF A SHIP IN A SEAWAY268representation, say seems out of the question.

As always we assume that a velocity potential exists.Since we deal with a moving rigid body it is convenient to refer themotion to various types of moving coordinate systems as well as to afixed coordinate system. The fixed coordinate system is denoted byO X, F, Z and has the disposition used throughout this book: TheX, Z-plane is in the equilibrium position of the free surface of thewater, and the Y-axis is positive upwards. The first of the two movingcoordinate systems we use (the second will be introduced later) isx y, z and is specified as follows (cf. Fig.
9.2.1):denoted by o9Fig. 9.2.1. Fixedand moving coordinate systemThex, 2-plane coincides with the X, Z-plane (i.e. it lies in the undisturbed free surface), the y-axis is vertically upward and contains thecenter of gravity of the ship. The #-axis has always the direction of thehorizontal component of the velocity of the center of gravity of theship. (Ifwethe path ofdefine the course of the ship as the vertical projection ofcenter of gravity on the X, Z-plane, then our conven-itstion about the a?-axismeans thatship's course.)
