The Time Domain

The vertical motions and wave induced loads on ships with forward speed are studied in the time domain, considering non-linear effects associated with large amplitude motions and hull flare shape. The method is based on a strip theory, using singularities distributed on the cross sections which satisfy the linear free surface condition. The solution is obtained in the time domain using convolution to account for the memory effects related to the free surface oscillations. In this way the linear radiation forces are represented in terms of impulse response functions, infinite frequency added masses and radiation restoring coefficients. The diffraction forces associated with incident wave scattering are linear. The hydrostatic and Froude-Krylov forces are evaluated over the instantaneous wetted surface of the hull to account for the large amplitude motions and hull flare. The radiation contribution for wave loads is also obtained in the time domain using convolution to account for the memory effects related to the free surface oscillations. Results of motions and wave loads for the S175 container ship are presented and analyzed. The results from the present method are compared with linear results.

The Time Domain

The concept of "generalized modes" is to describe all degrees of freedom by mode shapes and not using any predefined shape, like rigid body modes. Generalized modes in seakeeping computations allow one to calculate the response of a single ship, springing, whipping, multibody interaction, etc., using a uniform approach. The generalized modes have already been used for frequency-domain seakeeping calculations by various authors. This article extents the generalized modes methodology to be used for time-domain seakeeping computations, which accounts for large-amplitude motions of the rigid-body modes. The time domain can be desirable for seakeeping computations because it is easy to include nonlinear load components and to compute transient response, like slamming and whipping. Results of multibody interaction, two barges connected by a hinge, whipping response of a ferry resulting from slamming loads, and the response of a flexible barge are presented to illustrate the theory.

Equations Of Motions

The paper presents a time domain method to calculate the ship responses in heavy weather, including the global structural loads due to whipping. Since large amplitude waves induce nonlinear ship responses, and in particular highly nonlinear vertical structural loads, the equations of motions and structural loads are solved in the time domain. The “partially nonlinear” time domain seakeeping program accounts for the most important nonlinear effects. Slamming forces are given by the contribution of two components: an initial impact due to bottom slamming and flare slamming due to the variation of momentum of the added mass. The hull vibratory response is calculated applying the modal analysis together with direct integration of the differential equations in the time domain. The structural dynamic characteristics of the hull are modeled by a finite element representation of a Timoshenko beam accounting for the shear deformation and rotary inertia. The calculation procedure is applied to a frigate advancing in regular waves. The contribution of whipping loads to the vertical bending moments on the ship structure is assessed by comparing this response with and without the hull vibration.

The Time Domain

Based on the panel-free method, large-amplitude motions of floating offshore structures have been computed by solving the body-exact problem in the time domain using the exact geometry. The body boundary condition is imposed on the instantaneous wetted surface exactly at each time step. The free surface boundary is assumed linear so that the time-domain Green function can be applied. The instantaneous wetted surface is obtained by trimming the entire NURBS surfaces of a floating structure. At each time step, Gaussian points are automatically distributed on the instantaneous wetted surface. The velocity potentials and velocities are computed accurately on the body surface by solving the desingularized integral equations. Nonlinear Froude-Krylov forces are computed on the instantaneous wetted surface under the incident wave profile. Validation studies have been carried out for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel. Computed results were compared with experimental results and solutions by the panel method.

The Time Domain

High-speed strip theories are discussed, and a time domain formulation making use of a fixed reference frame for the two-dimensional fluid motion is described in detail. This, and classical (low-speed) strip theory, are compared with the experimental results of Wellicome et al. (1995) up to a Froude number of 0.8, as well as with our own test data for a semi-SWATH, demonstrating the marked improvement of the predictions of the former at high speeds, while the need to account for modest viscous effects at these speeds is also argued. A significant contribution to time domain computations is a method of stabilizing the integration of the ship's equations of motion, which are inherently unstable due to feedback from implicit added mass components of the hydrodynamic force. The time domain high-speed theory is recommended as a practical alternative to three-dimensional methods. It also facilitates the investigation of large-amplitude motions with stern or bow emergence and forms a simulation base for the investigation of ride control systems and local or global loads.

The Time Domain

A non linear time domain formulation for ship motions and wave loads is presented and applied to the S175 containership. The paper describes the mathematical formulations and assumptions, with particular attention to the calculation of the hydrodynamic force in the time domain. In this formulation all the forces involved are non linear and time dependent. Hydrodynamic forces are calculated in the frequency domain and related to the time domain solution for each time step. Restoring and exciting forces are evaluated directly in time domain in a way of the hull wetted surface. The results are compared with linear strip theory and linear three dimensional Green function frequency domain seakeeping methodologies with the intent of validation. The comparison shows a satisfactory agreement in the range of small amplitude motions. A first approach to large amplitude motion analysis displays the importance of incorporating the non linear behaviour of motions and loads in the solution of the seakeeping problem.

3D Effects

Recent advancements have been made to consider the effects of large amplitude motions for roll damping models used for numerical ship motion performance assessments. These advancements have been focused on the development and expansion of models for potential flow simulation tools with sectional formulations. However, additional 3D effects due to vortex shedding, flow convection downstream, waves, and bilge keel emergence and submergence during large roll motion may be important, but are typically neglected in the sectional formulations. A series of RANS computations were performed for both 2D and 3D conditions of large amplitude ship roll motion, with and without forward speed, and in calm water and in waves. Comparisons were made to available experimental data for the 2D calm water conditions at zero-speed. These results were then assessed with the 3D conditions to develop improved understanding of additional 3D effects, including forward speed and waves, which should be considered for future developments of strip-theory approaches for ship motions prediction.

A three-dimensional time-domain calculation method is of crucial importance in prediction of ship motion with forward speed in a severe irregular sea. The exact solution of the free surface wave–ship interaction problem is very complicated because of the extremely nonlinear boundary conditions. In this paper, an approximate body nonlinear approach based on the three-dimensional time-domain forward-speed free-surface Green function has been presented. It is a simplified version of the method known as LAMP (Lin and Yue 1990) where the exact body boundary condition is applied on the instantaneous wetted surface of the ship while free-surface condition is linearized. In the present study, the Froude-Krylov force and the hydrostatic restoring force are calculated on the instantaneous wetted surface of the ship while the forces due to the radiation and scattering potentials on the mean wetted surface. The time-domain radiation and scattering potentials have been obtained from a time invariant kernel of integral equations for the potentials. The integral equation for the radiation potential is discretized according to the second-order boundary element method (Hong and Hong. 2008). The diffraction impulse response functions of the Wigley seakeeping model are presented for various Froude numbers. A simulation of coupled heave-pitch motion of the Wigley model advancing in regular head waves of large amplitude has been carried out. Comparisons between the fully linear and the present approximate body nonlinear computations have been made at various Froude numbers.
