Wang, S. and Guedes Soares, C. (2021), “Three-dimensional effects on slamming loads”, 40th International Conference on Ocean, Offshore and Arctic Engineering (OMAE2021), 21-30 June, Virtual, Online, Paper: OMAE2021-63741.
Three-dimensional effects on slamming loads predictions of a ship section are investigated numerically using the unsteady incompressible Reynolds-Average Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations and volume of fluid (VOF) method, which are implemented in interDyMFoam solver in open-source library OpenFoam. A convergence and uncertainty study will be performed considering different resolutions and constant Courant number (CFL) based on ITTC guidelines. The numerical solutions are validated through the comparisons of slamming loads and motions between the CFD simulations and the available experimental values. The total slamming force and slamming pressures on a 2D ship section and the 3D model are compared and discussed. Three-dimensional effects on the sectional force and the pressures are quantified both in transvers and longitudinal directions of the body considering various entry velocities. The non-dimensional pressure coefficient distribution on the 3D model is presented.
