Core Ideas The numerical solution of Richards' equation remains challenging. Space/time
discretization affects both computational effort and accuracy. Adaption of space and time …

Historically, the field of naval architecture has relied on a combination of model testing and
scaling laws, known as extrapolation procedures, to predict full-scale power requirements …

An implementation of the dynamic overset grid technique into naoe-FOAM-SJTU solver
developed by using the open source code OpenFOAM is presented. OpenFOAM is attractive …

Floating wave energy converters (WECs) operating in the resonance region are strongly
affected by non-linearities arising from the interaction between the waves, the WEC motion …

Ship operations are accompanied by turbulent regimes that play a significant role in the
hydrodynamic characteristics. With the ongoing development of computational technologies …

This paper presents an extension of the Ghost Fluid Method to arbitrary polyhedral Finite
Volume framework for free surface flow simulations, primarily intended for marine …

To obtain an accurate ship maneuverability model for motion prediction and autonomous
navigation, a ship maneuverability modeling and numerical prediction method is proposed …

There is a large body of research available focusing on how ship hull conditions, including
various hull coatings, coating defects, and biofouling, influence the boundary layer, and …

Currently, the shipping industry is facing a great challenge of reducing emissions. Reducing
ship speeds will reduce the emissions in the immediate future with no additional …

Historically, the prediction ship resistance has received its fair share of attention by the
scientific community. Yet, a robust scaling law still lacks, leaving testing facilities to rely on …
