2 D Hydrodynamic Coefficients for Simple Shapes The most fundamental computation performed by SeaKeeping is the solution of the twodimensional radiation problem for each section. The solution leads to the two-dimensional hydrodynamic added mass and damping coefficients, and the two-dimensional complex diffraction forcing amplitude for the section. In this validation study, these twodimensional results are compared to model test data published by Vugts (968). Three different geometries were analyzed: a box section, a triangular section, and a cylindrical section, as shown by Figure. For the box, three beam-to-draft (B/T) ratios were also analyzed. The beam factor (see User s Manual) was taken at the default value of 8 for all box shaped sections, and for the triangular and cylindrical sections. The resulting non-dimensional coefficients, and the total heave, sway, and roll forcing amplitudes are given by Figure through Figure 7. In most cases, fair to good agreement between the experimental data and the computational result is obtained. Appreciable differences, such as the case in roll for the triangular and cylindrical section, are attributable to neglecting viscosity, flow-separation, and other significant nonlinearities evident in the real-world flow. Further deviation is observed in the cylindrical section in roll and swayinto-roll. Here, theoretical results are practically zero, as viscous effects account for most of the experimental observations. These assumptions are typical of two-dimensional potential flow based solvers, such as the one used by SeaKeeping, and the deviations are expected. Figure. Vugts Two-Dimensional Section Geometries In the case of roll for the box section at B/T = and B/T = 8, the experimental data is corrected for the difference between the origin, O, and the section s vertical center-ofgravity, CG, as outlined by Vugts (968). In these cases, a note has been included in the plot legend. The computational results were also obtained about the origin, or CG, to maintain consistency with Vugts conventions. Results about the origin when B/T = and B/T = 8 were obtained by setting the VCG equal to the draft. In all other cases, the VCG was taken at. m as indicated. In all cases, a wave heading of 9 degrees was used to match the experimental conditions. Validation Studies ()

Roll Added Mass Moment of Inertia and Damping Coefficient (a /b ) Cylinder Section D Forces and Phase Angles at Multiple Headings for Simple Barge Geometries The three-dimensional wave excitation force and moment amplitudes and phase angles were compared with results from the D diffraction panel code. The data used in this study was digitized from plots published by J.M.J. Journée, see References and Additional Resources. Two different barge-like geometries were used: a box-barge and a triangular barge. The box-barge has a beam of m, a length of m, and a draft of m, yielding a beam-to-draft ratio of. The VCG was set at the waterline, or m. The triangular barge had beam of.6 m, a length of m, and a draft of m. The barges were evaluated at wave headings of,, 6, and 9 degrees. Forward speed is zero and water depth is infinite. The beam factor and length factor (see the User s Manual for details) were left at the default values of 8. and., respectively. The results are shown by Figure 8 through Figure. In all cases, the agreement is quite satisfactory. Because SeaKeeping uses a more robust treatment of the normal vectors than other strip-theory codes, it is able to capture more of the D effects. This appears to be most evident at higher frequencies, where diffraction typically plays a greater role in the total forcing. Due to the symmetry of the barge geometries, the sway and roll forcing are zero at a wave heading of zero degrees, as evidenced by the seemingly blank plot. The phase angles at these headings are meaningless and are therefore omitted. Validation Studies (8)

17 D Forces and Phase Angles at Multiple Headings for a Tanker Hull The three-dimensional total forcing amplitudes and phase angles for the full-scale crude oil tanker hull Macoma were computed and compared to data from the D panel method code. The data used in this study was digitized from plots published by J.M.J. Journée (). An isometric view and body plan of the submerged hull geometry are given by Figure. The geometry file was developed from poor quality digitized lines drawings, so some error is expected in the conversion of the lines to the geometry file. Section Editor was utilized to develop and edit the model, and additional stations were added using the built-in interpolation feature. The origin was placed at the aft-most station shown in the isometric and body view. Figure.

The hull was also held at zero forward speed. The Beam Factor and Length Factor were taken at their default values of 8 and, respectively. The results are plotted against the data in Figure through Figure 6. In most cases, very good agreement is observed. At wave headings of and 8, the forcing amplitudes in sway are effectively zero, therefore the phase angles are omitted Figure. Sway Forcing Amplitude and Phase, Heading: Figure.

Roll Forcing Amplitude and Phase, Heading: 8 Absolute and Relative RAOs and Accelerations for the Flokstra Containership The heave, pitch, and roll absolute RAOs, relative heave RAOs, and vertical accelerations were computed for several Critical Points on the full-scale Flokstra containership hull. The responses computed by SeaKeeping were then compared to model test data obtained by (Zhou, Zhou, & Xie, 996) at the seakeeping basin at the China Ship Scientific Research Center (CSSRC). Figure 6.

26 The responses were computed for two different forward speeds: knots (Fr=.) and knots (Fr=.). In addition, wave headings of 8,, and 9 degrees in deep water were analyzed. An isometric view and body plan of the hull are given by Figure 6. The hull offsets were digitized from scanned and printed lines, so there are some imperfections in the model. Additional stations were added using the interpolation features in Section Editor. The origin was placed.88 m aft of the forward-most station shown.

Of note is the influence of non-wave potential damping in roll. The experimental work noted a significant increase in roll damping at higher speeds and at 9 wave headings. The computational results do not include any additional roll damping other than wave potential damping. The computational results therefore over-predict the roll response in beam seas, especially at the higher speed, near roll resonance, as evidenced in the roll RAO and relative motion RAOs. In addition, dynamic swell up affects are not included in the computational results, and while the influence of the dynamic waterline was not discussed in the experimental work, it is expected that this accounts for some additional deviation from the computational results. Moreover, there is some ambiguity as to the exact measurement locations of the probes, and noted possibilities for experimental error in the experimental relative responses. Despite these deviations, the computational results are consistent with expectations, and exhibit useful predictions of the experimental observations. Validation Studies (6)
