Vasquez, G., Fonseca, N. e Guedes Soares, C. (2013), “Experimental and Numerical Extreme Motions and Vertical Bending Moments Induced by Abnormal Waves on a Bulk Carrier”, Proceedings of the 32nd International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE 2013), 9-14 June, Nantes, France

The present investigation focuses on the motions and global structural loads induced by abnormal waves on a bulk carrier. A nonlinear time domain method based on strip theory is used to predict the ship responses. The results are compared with experimental data obtained at the model scale. The time domain hydrodynamic forces are calculated by convolution of linear memory functions, while nonlinear contributions arise from Froude-Krylov forces, hydrostatic forces and shipping of green water. The time domain simulations are compared directly with experimental records from bulk carrier model tests with in head waves for two Froude numbers. Extreme wave conditions (such as the New Year Wave) previously measured at sea during real storms were replicated both at the seakeeping tank and by the numerical code. The comparison analyses show a good agreement between numerical and experimental with good accuracy.
