Ship parametric roll is one of the main reasons for marine accidents and is introduced into the second-generation intact stability criteria by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) recently. In this paper, a 6-DOF three-dimensional time-domain model based on the IRF (Impulse Response Function) method is constructed to predict large-amplitude ship motions and investigate the phenomenon of parametric roll in head waves as well as major factors. The F-K forces and the restoring forces are calculated on the instantaneous wet surface while the radiation and diffraction forces are kept linear and transformed from frequency-domain results calculated with the three-dimensional Havelock form translating-pulsating source green function method. The proposed weakly nonlinear time-domain model is used to simulate motions of the C11 containership, which predicts the occurrence of the parametric roll successfully and shows a good agreement with the experimental data in amplitude. The inner mechanism of parametric roll is revealed by investigating the time-history and resonance frequencies of restoring forces and coefficients numerically.

In this paper, a B-spline-based higher-order method is developed for simulating three-dimensional ship motions with forward speed. The problem is formulated in time domain using a transient free surface Green function. The body geometry is defined by open uniform or nonuniform B-spline basis functions depending on the hull type, whereas the unknown field variables are described by open uniform B-spline basis functions. The collocation method is applied to discretize the integral equation and then solved for the unknown potentials and source strengths. Motion computations in head waves are carried out for three types of ship hulls: a mathematically defined Wigley hull, a typical containership (S175 hull), and a Series 60 hull. Results are obtained for regular and irregular waves and compared with available experimental and computational results. It is found that the results from the present method are in very good agreement with the published results, and in particular with experimental data. Long-duration simulations have also been carried out with an ordinary desktop PC (PIV with 512 MB RAM) to demonstrate the ability of the method to simulate motions over long periods without any visible deterioration using only modest computational resources.

A three-dimensional time-domain calculation method is of crucial importance in prediction of ship motion with forward speed in a severe irregular sea. The exact solution of the free surface wave–ship interaction problem is very complicated because of the extremely nonlinear boundary conditions. In this paper, an approximate body nonlinear approach based on the three-dimensional time-domain forward-speed free-surface Green function has been presented. It is a simplified version of the method known as LAMP (Lin and Yue 1990) where the exact body boundary condition is applied on the instantaneous wetted surface of the ship while free-surface condition is linearized. In the present study, the Froude-Krylov force and the hydrostatic restoring force are calculated on the instantaneous wetted surface of the ship while the forces due to the radiation and scattering potentials on the mean wetted surface. The time-domain radiation and scattering potentials have been obtained from a time invariant kernel of integral equations for the potentials. The integral equation for the radiation potential is discretized according to the second-order boundary element method (Hong and Hong. 2008). The diffraction impulse response functions of the Wigley seakeeping model are presented for various Froude numbers. A simulation of coupled heave-pitch motion of the Wigley model advancing in regular head waves of large amplitude has been carried out. Comparisons between the fully linear and the present approximate body nonlinear computations have been made at various Froude numbers.

AbstractA three-dimensional (3D) time-domain method is developed to predict ship motions in waves. To evaluate the Froude-Krylov (F-K) forces and hydrostatic forces under the instantaneous incident wave profile, an adaptive mesh technique based on a quad-tree subdivision is adopted to generate instantaneous wet meshes for ship. For quadrilateral panels under both mean free surface and instantaneous incident wave profiles, Froude-Krylov forces and hydrostatic forces are computed by analytical exact pressure integration expressions, allowing for considerably coarse meshes without loss of accuracy. And for quadrilateral panels interacting with the wave profile, F-K and hydrostatic forces are evaluated following a quad-tree subdivision. The transient free surface Green function (TFSGF) is essential to evaluate radiation and diffraction forces based on linear theory. To reduce the numerical error due to unclear partition, a precise integration method is applied to solve the TFSGF in the partition computation time domain. Computations are carried out for a Wigley hull form and S175 container ship, and the results show good agreement with both experimental results and published results.

Shallow Water Model

A quasi-three-dimensional hydrodynamic model is presented to simulate shallow water phenomena. The method is based on a finite-volume approach designed to solve shallow water equations in the time domain. The nonlinearities of the governing equations are considered. The methodology can be used to compute green water effects on a variety of platforms with six-degrees-of-freedom motions. Different boundary and initial conditions can be applied for multiple types of moving platforms, like a ship's deck, tanks, etc. Comparisons with experimental data are discussed. The shallow water model has been integrated with the Large Amplitude Motions Program to compute the effects of green water flow over decks within a time-domain simulation of ship motions in waves. Results associated to this implementation are presented.

The motion of a ship/offshore platform at sea is governed by a coupled set of nonlinear differential equations. In general, analytical solutions for such systems do not exist and recourse is taken to time-domain simulations to obtain numerical solutions. Each simulation is not only time consuming but also captures only a single realization of the many possible responses. In a design spiral when the concept design of a ship/platform is being iteratively changed, simulating multiple realizations for each interim design is impractical. An analytical approach is preferable as it provides the answer almost instantaneously and does not suffer from the drawback of requiring multiple realizations for statistical confidence. Analytical solutions only exist for simple systems, and hence, there is a need to simplify the nonlinear coupled differential equations into a simplified one degree-of-freedom (DOF) system. While simplified methods make the problem tenable, it is important to check that the system still reflects the dynamics of the complicated system. This paper systematically describes two of the popular simplified parametric roll models in the literature: Volterra GM and improved Grim effective wave (IGEW) roll models. A correction to the existing Volterra GM model described in current literature is proposed to more accurately capture the restoring forces. The simulated roll motion from each model is compared against a corresponding simulation from a nonlinear coupled time-domain simulation tool to check its veracity. Finally, the extent to which each of the models captures the nonlinear phenomenon accurately is discussed in detail.

Abstract This paper presents an improved time domain model for milling, which can simulate vibratory cutting conditions at very small radial widths of cut and large depths of cut. The improved kinematics model allows simulation of very small radial immersions. The varying dynamics modeled along the cutting depth allows milling with very flexible cutters and/or flexible workpieces at very deep cuts to be simulated. The model can predict forces, surface finish, and chatter stability, accurately accounting for non-linear effects that are difficult to model analytically. The discretized cutter and workpiece kinematics and dynamic models are used to represent the exact trochoidal motion of the cutter, and to investigate the effects of forced vibrations and changing radial immersion due to deflection and vibrations on chatter stability. Three dimensional surface finish profiles are predicted and are compared to measured results. Stability lobes generated from the time domain simulation are also shown for various cases.

Sloshing flow in ship tanks is excited by ship motions, but it affects the ship motions in reverse. This paper focuses on the motion responses of the ship in waves with consideration of coupled effects with sloshing in tanks. A three-dimensional panel method in time-domain is applied to solve the ship motion problem, and the sloshing tanks are solved by commercial CFD software simultaneously. Experiments were carried out on a SL175 ship and good agreement is obtained.
