Laranjinha, M., Falzarano, J.M. and Guedes Soares, C. (2002), “Analysis of the Dynamical Behaviour of an Offshore Supply Vessel with Water on Deck”, Proceedings of the 21st International Conference on Offshore Mechanics and Arctic Engineering (OMAE’02), 23-28 June, 2002, Oslo, Norway, ASME, New York, Paper OMAE2002-OFT28177

This paper describes a study of the influence of the water on deck on the dynamical behavior of an offshore supply vessel with a large open aft deck. The deck under certain load and sea conditions can become partially or totally immersed. This study focuses on the roll motion that can be of large amplitude and therefore has implications and risks for the ship’s safety. The Glimm’s method is used to model the threedimensional flow of shallow water on the deck. A parametric study is made in order to show the effect of the relevant parameters. It is shown that the water on deck has a significant influence on the ship’s dynamical response.
