This study demonstrates that a bounded, physically relevant solution does exist at the so-called T = Uω/g = 1/4 resonance in the linear seakeeping problem for a realistic ship with forward speed, U, frequency of encounter, ω, and gravitational acceleration, g. The solution of the seakeeping problem by a linear, three dimensional, time-domain Rankine panel method, validated through numerical analysis, testing, and comparison to physical experiments, supports this claim. The solution can also be obtained with equal validity through frequencies both above and below the critical frequency.

The Waves

In linear Rankine panel method, the discrete linear dispersion relation is solved on a discrete free-surface to capture the free-surface waves generated due to wave-body interactions. Discretization introduces numerical damping and dispersion, which depend on the discretization order and the chosen methods for differentiation in time and space. The numerical properties of a linear Rankine panel method, based on a direct boundary integral formulation, for capturing two and three dimensional free-surface waves were studied. Different discretization orders and differentiation methods were considered, focusing on the linear distribution and finite difference schemes. The possible sources for numerical instabilities were addressed. A series of cases with and without forward speed was selected, and numerical investigations are presented. For the waves in three dimensions, the influence of the panels’ aspect ratio and the waves’ angle were considered. It has been shown that using the cancellation effects of different differentiation schemes the accuracy of the numerical method could be improved.

The Time Domain

A new Rankine panel method and an extended Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) solver were employed to predict added resistance in head waves at different Froude numbers of a Wigley hull, a large tanker, and a modern containership. The frequency domain panel method, using Rankine sources as basic flow potentials, accounts for the interaction of the linear periodic wave-induced flow with the nonlinear steady flow caused by the ship's forward speed in calm water, including nonlinear free surface conditions and dynamic squat. Added resistance in waves is obtained by the pressure integration method. The time domain RANS solver, based on a finite volume method, is extended to solve the nonlinear equations of the rigid body six-degrees-of-freedom ship motions. The favorable comparison of the panel and RANS predictions demonstrated that the Rankine method is suitable to efficiently obtain reliable predictions of added resistance of ships in waves. Comparable model test predictions correlated less favorably, although the overall agreement was felt to be acceptable, considering the difficulties associated with the procedures to obtain accurate measurements.
