Numerical characteristics of the Green function show that the contribution of local-flow components to velocity potential is concentrated at the nearby source point area and the wave component dominates the magnitude of velocity potential in the far field. Two kinds of mathematical models, with or without local-flow components taken into account, are adopted to numerically calculate the longitudinal motions of Wigley hulls, which demonstrates the applicability of translating-pulsating source Green's function method for various ship forms. In addition, the mesh analysis of discrete surface is carried out from the perspective of ship-form characteristics. The study shows that the longitudinal motion results by the simplified model are somewhat greater than the experimental data in the resonant zone, and the model can be used as an effective tool to predict ship seakeeping properties. However, translating-pulsating source Green function method is only appropriate for the qualitative analysis of motion response in waves if the ship geometrical shape fails to satisfy the slender-body assumption.展开更多

To reach the optimized hull form, four stages should be done, which consists of： generate alternative hull form, seakeeping calculations, objective functions and optimization techniques. There are many parameters that may be determined in ship hull form optimization. This paper deals with developed strip theory for determining the seakeeping performance, genetic algorithm （GA） as optimization method, high order equations for curve fitting of the hull form and finally reaching to the minimum bow vertical motion in regular head waves. The Wigley hull is selected as an initial hull and carried to be optimized. Two cases are considered. For the first case, the only form coefficients of the hull （CB, CM, Cw, Cp） are changed and main dimensions （L, B, 7） are fixed. In the second case both hull form and main dimensions are varied simultaneously. Finally, optimized hull form and its seakeeping performances are presented. The results of optimization procedure demonstrate that the optimized hull forms yield a reduction in vertical motion and acceleration.展开更多

In this article, the Rankine sources and dipoles were placed on boundary surfaces （i.e., the ship surface and free surface）, and a time-stepping scheme was employed. Its unique characteristic is that steady state can be realized from initial value by employing the time-stepping scheme and unsteady free surface conditions. In time domain, if the results of unsteady flow problem tend to data stabilization after many time steps of computation, they could be regarded as the data of steady ones. This model could be employed to steady or unsteady problems. Theoretical reasoning and computational process of this method was described in detail The linear and nonlinear boundary conditions on body surface were studied, and the relative means to realize these boundary conditions in iterative computation were also discussed. Some proper parameters about the model of the Wigley hull were determined by many numerical tests, and their influences on wave making resistance and wave pattern were discussed. According to the comparison between numerical results and data available in relative references, the method used in this work is proven to be a reliable method in time domain. And the lattice reorganization in every time step computation is a feasible numerical approach.展开更多

Based on these theoretical methods, the calculations of wave resistance of near surface submersible, Wigley hull and vertical/canted strut SWATHs were conducted. In the single and double integral parts of Green's function, the method of special function expansion and Chebyshev polynomial approach were adopted respectively. The formulas for zeroth-first-and second-order wave-making resistance were derived. In a towing tank, the calm water resistance experiment of SWATH model ASW-2 with canted strut was conducted and researched. The influences of waterline integral term, the surface mesh number, element node number, range of the integration and truncation of special function expansions on velocity potential and numerical results of resistance were investigated, and the difference between the zeroth-order and first-order wave resistance was analyzed. The theoretical calculation results agree well with the well-found model experimental results.展开更多

An iterative time-marching scheme for updating both kinematic and dynamic free-surface boundary conditions is adopted for achieving numerical accuracy and stability. A rectangular computational domain moving with the mean speed of ship is introduced. A damping beach at the outer portion of the truncated free surface is installed for satisfying the radiation condition. After numerical convergence checked, the diffraction unsteady problem of a Wigley hull traveling with a constant forward speed in waves is studied. Extensive results including wave exciting forces, wave patterns and pressure distributions on the hull are presented to validate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed 3-D time-domain iterative Rankine BEM approach. Computed results are compared to be in good agreement with the corresponding experimental data and other published numerical solutions.展开更多
