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." 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." 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." The Froude–Krylov force, which is the pressure in the undisturbed waves integrated over the wetted surface of the floating vessel.
In the field of ship design and design of other floating structures, a response amplitude operator ( RAO) is an engineering statistic, or set of such statistics, that are used to determine the likely behavior of a ship when operating at sea. Known by the acronym of RAO, response amplitude operators are usually obtained from models of proposed ship designs tested in a model basin, or from running specialized CFD computer programs, often both. RAOs are usually calculated for all ship motions and for all wave headings. There are many different conventions for defining RAOs. There have been attempts at standardisation, but these have not been successful so there remain differences between the main computer programs and model basins: some establishments even use different conventions for reporting model and computed data. The only safe course is to obtain a complete description of the system used for the data in each case. Wave load RAOs do not completely define the vessel motion as do displacement RAOs: they merely define the force and moment which a wave exerts on the vessel. OrcaFlex uses these forces and moments, together with any other loads on the vessel and data on the vessel's mass and inertia, to determine the vessel motion from its equation of motion.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.
It's 10:20 p.m. We've been here since 7:45, but the hours have gone by in a flash and I have no desire to give up my bar stool and leave the center of all the action. On a computer the above algorithm was first introduced by using strip theory and Boundary Element Method. Today both of the methods are still used if the need for fast calculations outweigh the need for precise results and the ship designer knows the limitations of strip theory. More advanced programs that are used today utilizes Boundary Element Method through different applications (such as WAMIT, SESAM WADAM, MOSES, NeMOH and ANSYS AQWA) some may also include the effects of viscosity. The insight into the forces that governs the seakeeping behavior of a ship gained from the above are of course still valid within considered limits of free surface linearity. Damping (Hydrodynamic) forces due to the oscillations creating outgoing waves which carry energy away from the ship.

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." Finding the forces on the ship when it is forced to oscillate in still water conditions. The forces are divided into: Can't hear you," he says, pointing to his ear. (Now I understand whom the gruff waiters at Carbone are copying.)
The Diffraction forces, which are pressures that occur due to the disturbances in the water because of a body being present. As it turns out, Frank sang in a group called the Holidaes in the 1960s. "I was an old doo-wop guy," he says. "I get Billy Joel, Sting, Jimmy Fallon in here. Jimmy Fallon loves to sing doo-wops! So whenever he's here, I start singing, and boom, he jumps up and starts singing. And before you know it the whole room is going nuts." The Orcina convention is to use the amplitude of response (in length units for surge, sway, heave, in degrees for roll, pitch, yaw) per unit wave amplitude, and to use the phase lag from the time the wave crest passes the RAO origin until the maximum positive excursion is reached (in other words, the phase origin being at the RAO origin). Mathematically, this is given by A surge RAO of 0.5 in a wave of height 4m (and hence wave amplitude 2m) means that the vessel surges to and fro -1m to +1m from its static position; a pitch RAO of 0.5° per metre in the same wave means that the vessel pitches from -1° to + 1°. In the old days, Abbot says, Frank used to open the reservation book on a quarterly basis and when he came by to get his table assignment, Donald Trump was waiting in line outside the door with other regulars.
Rao's Menu
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. 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. I say to my wife, 'I wish I had a Rao's to go to. I wish I had a Rao's to go hang out in, to go sit at the bar and meet wonderful people, and then sit down and have a wonderful meal," he says. I can see why.
Great Deal
