Abstract The seakeeping performances in oblique wave conditions, such as ship motions and unsteady pressures on a hull, are getting more important, recently. These physical quantities used for estimating loads induced by waves evaluating the safety of ship. Thanks to evaluation various incident angles, rational design with sufficient less construction cost can be realized. Therefore, estimation...
