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.

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.

The wave-current effects are very important in several offshore applications, for instance, the wave-drift-damping of a Turret moored FPSO. This papers presents the incorporation of current effects in the higher order time domain Rankine Panel Method on development in the Numerical Offshore Tank (TPN) at the University of São Paulo (USP) already introduced in [1]. The method is based on a perturbation theory to study first and second order effects, considering the geometry described using NURBS (Non Uniform Rational Basis Spline) and the potential function, free surface elevation, pressure etc by B-splines of arbitrary degree. The study is performed for a simplified geometry (sphere) and the results regarding a fixed hemisphere compared to other numerical methods considering both first and second order quantities are presented.
