Of all the six degrees of freedom, the roll motion of a ship is the most poorly understood and
displays complicated phenomena. Due to the low potential wave damping at the natural …

The application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and overset meshing, to predict the
roll response of ships is of significant interest to ocean engineering. Despite its growing …

The flow in the vicinity of 2D ship sections carrying out forced roll motions is simulated using
the solution of the Navier-Stokes equations implemented in OpenFOAM. A hybrid …

As the number of cores in a multicore system increases, core-to-core (C2C) communication
is increasingly limiting the performance scaling of workloads that share data frequently. The …

Engineering designs in the ocean environment often involve bodies with thin or plate-like
appendages. These are used as devices to inhibit flow-induced vibrations, enhance …

Analysis of hydrodynamic forces on a rolling barge fitted with bilge keels involves solving the
Navier–Stokes equations. Presented herein is a direct method for solving the Navier–Stokes …

Current industry practice to control roll motions in floating production storage and offloading
(FPSO) vessels is based on using large-width bilge keels. This paper details an …

Since the 1970s, component-based frequency-domain models based on Ikeda's method
have been used to predict roll damping. These are based on data from conventional wall …

This article illustrates surface gravity wave scattering by⊓-shaped and inverse⊓-shaped
breakwaters in water of finite depth. The⊓-shaped breakwater consists of a thick rectangular …

This paper will discuss the very serious topic of the design of the WindFloat, a full-scale
floating wind turbine. The importance of the fundamentals of hydrodynamics in achieving the …
