Ship harmonic motion is an important and practical characteristic in ship design and performance evaluation. The development and optimization of hull-form, ship's dynamic effects, seakeeping performance, and motion control, all require the motion data that includes wave exciting forces as well as dynamic response of the ship. This paper presents a new approach for time-domain simulation of full-scale ship model with four degrees of freedom based on computational fluid dynamics using unsteady RANS method. The key objective of this paper was the full-scale simulation of ship motion in oblique waves and assessment of time domain forces, moments, and other motion parameters. The David Taylor Model Basin (DTMB) 5415 full-scale model has been used for the numerical studies in this paper. The obtained computational results showed good conformation to the results obtained using the strip theory. It is intended to extend this research to subscale test experiments for more definite validation of the results.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
