Although OrcaFlex allows the RAO input data to use a wide range of systems, all OrcaFlex results use a right-handed system in which the positive movements are as follows: Surge The tables are "owned" by regulars and "no one gives them up," says Rao's owner Frank Pellegrino. "In every three-month period, I see all my clients. And now I'm dealing with their children and grandchildren." We laughed and cried for two days and at the end, he says to me, why don't you come by the restaurant?" Abbot tells me. Different modelling and design criteria will affect the nature of the 'ideal' RAO curves (as plotted graphically) being sought for a particular ship: for example, an ocean cruise liner will have a considerable emphasis placed upon minimizing accelerations to ensure the comfort of the passengers, while the stability concerns for a naval warship will be concentrated upon making the ship an effective weapons platform. RAOs can be obtained either from model tests or from diffraction analysis software. The data may be presented in tabular or graphical form: tables of numbers are better for our purposes since they can be imported directly into OrcaFlex (see importing hydrodynamic data).
One deuce," Emma—who's in graduate school and until recently worked part-time as a restaurant hostess—corrects me. The vessel has 6 degrees of freedom: 3 translations (surge, sway, heave) and 3 rotations (roll, pitch, yaw), so the RAO data consist of 6 amplitude and phase pairs for each wave period and direction. The RAO amplitude and phase vary for different types of vessel, and for a given vessel type they vary with draught, wave direction, forward speed and wave period / frequency. It is important to obtain accurate values for the RAO amplitude and phase if the dynamics of the system are to be correctly modelled. Good guy. I like him. He's okay. I could sit with Peter King and say what I like and what I don't like. I'm a political junkie," Frank says. There's a letter from President George H.W. Bush on the wall. Frank doesn't discriminate.In the above, "Ship" must be interpreted widely to also include other forms of floating structures. The obvious problem in the above method is the neglection of viscous forces which contribute heavily in modes of motion like surge and roll.
How we doing guys? I'm Joe," our waiter says. He sits down at the table. "What we like to do is, we serve everything family-style. For appetizers we have seafood salad, roasted peppers, baked clams, fried calamari, mozzarella in carrozza (that's deep fried), fresh mozzarella and tomato. We could do a salad. I also have mussels in white wine sauce. Those are the appetizers." As well as displacement RAOs, which directly specify the motion of a vessel in waves, OrcaFlex can apply wave load RAOs, which represent instead the load (force and moment) on a vessel due to waves. In this case, the amplitude represents the magnitude of the force (in the surge, sway or heave direction) or moment (in the roll, pitch or yaw direction); the meaning of the phase remains unchanged. Example: And you would be protected," he tells her. "I am a gentleman and I only allow gentlemen. If anybody is stupid, I would be right there. I only allow ladies and gentlemen. I don't want anything else."No one gives them up," he says. "Every table has been booked every night for the past 38 years. There's weeklies, biweeklies, monthlies, and quarterlies, so in every three-month period, I see all my clients. And now I'm dealing with their children and grandchildren." A surge force RAO of 300 kN/m in a wave of height 6m (and hence wave amplitude 3m) means that a vessel experiences a surge force varying harmonically between -900kN and +900kN over each wave cycle; a pitch moment RAO of 1e6 kN.m/m in the same wave means that the vessel experiences a moment about the y axis varying from -3e6 kN.m to +3e6 kN.m.
This was in January, and Frank said, 'Can you come here May 6?' I didn't know anything. So he writes the date on a business card and hands it to me and says, 'Two things just happened: One, you got a reservation at Rao's which is no small deal. Two, you can always get a reservation at Rao's. I love you. [Abbot makes a kissing sound.] Both cheeks."

Can't hear you," he says, pointing to his ear. (Now I understand whom the gruff waiters at Carbone are copying.) Finding the forces on the ship when it is forced to oscillate in still water conditions. The forces are divided into: I am married 46 years," he says. "Same woman. She's great. I love my wife. 46 years. Does she come here? No. I don't want her here. When I come here, I work. What am I going to do? Sit with her at the bar? I have people I have to talk to, things I have to do."
The RAO is a transfer function that is only defined when the ship motions can be assumed to be linear. The above forces can then be assembled into an equation of motion: The Diffraction forces, which are pressures that occur due to the disturbances in the water because of a body being present. A waiter comes over and says he's setting a table for us. We invite Frank to join us, since it's unclear whether he's eaten tonight, but he politely declines. He says he'll come sit with us later on, but he won't eat. Just think about what happened while you were here," he tells me, putting his hand on my forearm for emphasis. "You met my tailor. You met Tony Tantillo. You met Tony Abbot." (I met a trio of Tonys, if you include Tony the bartender.) "You met all these people. You met the congressman. You're seeing Rao's." And because it's so bright, which Frank says is because "it adds to the energy of the room," I really am seeing everything. Sciortino, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday at Rao's in Los Angeles, gets a table about once a month, but the days vary. Tonight he has a Monday. Next month he has a Thursday. Like the rest of the table owners, he gets his assignments at the beginning of the year. He's been coming here—"coming home," as he calls it—for 25 years.

Finding the forces on the ship when it is restrained from motion and subjected to regular waves. The forces acting on the body are: And this is Tony Tantillo. He's on CBS every day, cooking with his daughter," Frank says, introducing us to another friend who's come up to the bar. "Listen, Tantillo. I gotta tell you. You're too good-looking. You're too handsome."
