The effect of trapped water on deck or the interior compartments of ships on ship motions is closely investigated by use of a non-linear numerical simulation method. The employed method enables the efficient simulation of the wave excited, coupled ship – trapped water motions and proves to be a very valuable tool for the assessment of the survivability of flooded ships in waves. A detailed study has been carried out to more carefully investigate the coupling effects between the ship and the floodwater mass that can be expressed through a resultant interaction force. This interaction force has been approximated both by a simplified model employed by the present simulation method and also by a more accurate CFD code and satisfactory agreement between the results of both approaches has been obtained.

In this paper, we propose a numerical simulation procedure of moored ship motions due to initial attack of large scaled tsunamis and investigate the effects on the motions and mooring loads. The effect of methodology on selection of tsunami wave components and of the drag forces are then considered by using the numerical simulation method, applying to several case studies for LNG-carrier. Large ship motions and excessive mooring loads beyond the safe working loads are induced by the resonant tsunami wave components in the sway and surge motions, and drag forces.

Accurate prediction of roll damping is important in calculating the roll motion of a ship. This paper presents a roll decay analysis of an intact US Navy Destroyer hull form (DTMB 5415) using a Navier–Stokes (NS) solver with the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Dynamic overset mesh techniques were employed to handle mesh updating required to obtain transient ship motions. The VOF method was used to capture the fluid interface. The effect of turbulence was considered by means of a k-w and a k-e model. A sensitivity analysis was conducted, in terms of the grid, timesteps and degree of freedom. The roll decay results of the numerical simulation have been compared with those of prior physical model testing (Gokce and Kinaci, 2018), and the different roll decay responses used to predict the roll damping. It is intended that this research be a useful step towards establishing intact ship stability criteria, as part of current research.

AbstractA numerical simulation method is presented in this study to predict ship resistance and motion responses in regular and irregular waves. The unsteady RANS (Reynolds Average Navier-Stokes) method is selected as the governing equation, and a volume of fluid (VoF) model is used to capture the free surface, combining the k-ε equations. A finite volume method (FVM) is utilized to discretize both the RANS equations and VoF transport equation. The pressure implicit split operator (PISO) method is set as the velocity-pressure coupling equation. The overset mesh technique is utilized to simulate ship motions in waves. A DTMB5415 ship is selected as a case study to predict its pitch and heave responses in regular and irregular waves at different wave length and wave steepness. The ship is free to move in the pitch and heave directions. The CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) results are found to be in good agreement with the strip theory and experimental data. It can be found that the CFD method presented in this study can provide a theoretical basis and technical support for green design and manufacture of ships.

The present study is concerned with the numerical and experimental analysis of a moonpool in rough sea. From hydrodynamic viewpoint, a moonpool of drill ships can cause various problems. Among them, two major problems arise such as an increased resistance and overflow on the deck due to pumping up phenomena. To overcome these inherit problems, we have carried out various numerical analysis to find optimum moonpool shapes. The three-dimensional numerical model adopting SOLA-VOF scheme is used to predict violent free surface movement inside of a moonpool due to irregular ship motions with six degree of freedom. For accurate input data of ship motions, a three dimensional panel method program is applied for seakeeping analysis. The resistance and seakeeping model test have been carried out at MARINE to validate the proposed moonpool shapes, which have been designed based on numerical simulation results.

Numerical simulation of maneuvering of “Naniwa-maru" was performed to clarify the maneuver characteristics in particular with wearing operation. "Naniwa-maru" belongs to a type called Higaki-kaisen, and the Higaki-kaisen is a type of the more generic class of vessels named "Bezai-ship". Bezai-ship are typical Japanese sailing traders in the 18th to the mid- 19th century which have different appearance and construction from those of Western tall ships. The present paper shows the numerical simulation of her wearing operation, and the results compared with the measured data. The equations of motion dealt with coupled ship motions of surge, sway, roll and yaw with co-ordinate system using horizontal body axes. The numerical simulation indicates ship response according to the measured time history of rudder angle, and shows the ship trajectory and the sailing state parameters such as heading angle, leeway angle, heel angle and velocity. The calculated results indicated the ship performance very well.
