The green water phenomenon is boarding of sea water onto the deck due to high amplitude waves, which can cause several damages to the equipment on deck. In the present paper the green water phenomenon on three-dimensional models is analyzed using the Moving Particles Semi-Implicit Method (MPS), a fully lagrangian method for incompressible flow. This work is focused on the validation of the method comparing the numerical results with experimental results for green water on reduced scale models. The pressure on sensors over the deck of the models shows good agreement with experimental data.
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.
