Acquis d'apprentissage (objectifs d'apprentissage) du cours :  
The objective here is to give a complete presentation of the presentation of the available models for the determination of the ship's response in a seaway, emphasizing the advantages and drawbacks of each approach. First, we give a complete presentation of the linearized theory of wave-body interactions, treated in a deterministic sense. Both frequency domain and time domain approaches are described. Fundamental relations between both solutions are systematically emphasized. High and low frequency second order effects are explained and illustrated. Then, an overview of the avaible nonlinear theories of seakeeping is given. Different levels of approximation are described, from the simple addition of nonlinear hydrostatics to fully nonlinear time domain models. In addition to the theoretical part, pratical exercises are proposed to the students, based on some typical state of the art numerical software for ship seakeeping.
