In order to study the specialties of wave slamming on open-piled structures, a two-dimensional regular wave tank was established based on commercial CFD software FLUENT. Three typical cases of regular wave slamming on the open-piled structures were reproduced by using the numerical wave tank and compared with the experimental data available. Good agreements were obtained between the numerical and experimental results and the average of peak impact pressure was chosen as the characteristic impact pressure. Then regular wave impact pressure on the open-piled structures under various wave height, period and over height were simulated. The influences of the three parameters on the distribution of impact pressure were analyzed.

In recent years, the development and construction of islands and reefs has been proposed by the government and commercial company. However, as a large cargo carrier cannot reach islands and reefs if the harbor is not available, such type of carrier which has well deck is designed to meet the requirements of delivering people and equipment. It is a possible way to connect the island and supply cargo ships. This paper firstly summarizes the domestic and foreign research progress of hydrodynamic analysis of ships with well deck. Then, based on the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tools, we set up a linear numerical wave tank and study the hydrodynamic performance of original Wigley-III ship and modified Wigley-III ship with well deck. The hydrodynamic effect of the floating body in the well deck has been investigated and discussed.

Abstract A 2D nonlinear numerical wave tank is developed to simulate the motion responses of a moored floating body in waves which may experience strongly nonlinear wave-body interactions. The numerical solver is based on a Boundary Element Method which has been developed to solve strongly nonlinear hydrodynamic problems. The method is further developed in this paper to simulate a floating body in waves, where horizontal, vertical and rotational motions can be calculated. An effective algorithm is implemented to separate the added mass forces from the total hydrodynamic forces, thus to make the time domain solution converge more easily. The numerical results for a horizontal circular cylinder in waves are compared with linear theory for small wave steepness for verification and further compared with published model tests and CFD results for high wave steepness as validations.
