Table 26 : Hydrodynamic pressures for OST load cases

  Wave pressure, in kN/m2
Load case zTLC TLC < z ≤ 2 hW + TLC z > 2 hW + TLC
OST-1P PW = max (POST, ρg(z - TLC)) PW = 0.0
OST-2P PW = max (- POST, ρg(z - TLC))
OST-1S PW = max (POST, ρg(z - TLC))
OST-2S PW = max (- POST, ρg(z - TLC))

where:

fyz : Girth distribution coefficient, to be obtained from Table 27.

y ≥ 0
y < 0
fp : Coefficient to be taken as:
  • fp = ffa[(0.25 – 0.02 fT) + (12 fT – 9) B × 10–4]
λ : Wave length of the dynamic load case, in m, to be taken as:
  • λ = 0.45 L

ka : Amplitude coefficient in the longitudinal direction of the ship, to be obtained from Table 28.

kp : Phase coefficient to be obtained from Table 29. Intermediate values are to be interpolated.
