Abstract

The main aim of this paper is the numerical investigation of the effect of domain size and mesh density on modeling the three-dimensional (3-D) the radiation problem using RANS CFD software. The solution for the radiation forces and moments, namely the added mass and damping coefficients, is obtained by imposing a simple harmonic oscillation to a marine structure floating in still water at the relevant mode shape. A uniform barge is used to illustrate the investigation, with the relevant symmetric mode shapes provided from the Euler beam theory. The hydrodynamic coefficients for symmetric oscillations of the barge are evaluated using an inviscid flow model in STAR-CCM+. These include the rigid body motions of heave and pitch and the 2- and 3-node distortion mode shapes. A range of mesh densities, between 1.1M and 9.6 M, are used to examine their effects with particular reference to low and high frequencies and the cross-coupling hydrodynamic coefficients between rigid and distortion modes. The influence of the damping zone on the solution is also examined. The RANS CFD predictions are compared with the results from a three-dimensional potential flow boundary element method, allowing for hull distortions.
