Global hydroelastic model for liquid cargo ships

In this paper the problem of the global hydroelastic response of the ships carrying the liquid cargo (LNG ships, tankers, FPSO-s, dry cargo ships in ballast conditions...) is considered. The potential flow assumptions are adopted for the hydrodynamic part and the resulting Boudary Value Problems (BVP) are solved using the classical Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIEM) and that both for the external (seakeeping) and the internal (sloshing) fluid flow. The dynamic equation is solved in a fully coupled sense using the generalizd modal approach. For the time being the linear frequency domain appraoch is considered only.
