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.

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.

In the present study, the added resistance of a containership in parametric roll motion is investigated. The numerical simulation is carried out using a three dimensional Rankine panel method along with the weakly nonlinear formulation. The added resistance is evaluated by a near-field method, namely, the direct integration of the 2nd-order pressure on a body surface. To calculate the component resulting from the large-amplitude roll motion, the higher-order restoring and Froude-Krylov forces on wetted hull surfaces are taken into account. With or without parametric roll in regular waves, the components of added resistance classified with respect to integral terms are compared to figure out the important of each term. Through the investigation, the correlation between the added resistance and parametric roll is derived from coupling and decoupling the components of roll motion and vertical motions.
