Investigation of Global and Local Flow Details
by a Fully Three-dimensional Seakeeping Method
V Bertra n (HSVA, Ger any)
H Yasu awa (Mitsubis i Hea y Industries, Japan)
Abstract
A fully three dimensional P nkine panel
method in the frequency domain is validated for local
pressures, motions, and added resistance Previous
formulae for added ---i Lance contained errors result
ing in large differences to e cperiments This has n w
been remedied The method is linearized with respect
to wave height The steady fl w contribution is cap
tured completely by solving the fully nonlinear w we
resistance problem first and linearizing the seakeep
ing problem around this solution The same grids
on the hull are taken for both steady and se keeping
computation On the free surface different grids are
used, either following quasi streamlined grids or re t
angular grids with cut out for the hull The results
from the steady solution are interpolated on the new
free surface grid The method is applied to various
test cases Motions are in good agreement with em
periment, but this is also the case for trip method
rmults Local pressurm, especially for sho ter wa:vm,
are much better predicted than by strip method The
added resi Lance is sensitive to higher derivatives of
the potential and a numerical differentiation of these
terms may be preferable to using highe~order panels
1. Introduction
The most commonly used tools to determine
seakeeping properties are based on strip theory The
strip method approach is cheap, fast, and for most
cases also quite accurate H wever, strip methods
do not perform so w 11 for high speed ships, full hull
form (tankers), ships with strong flare, and generally
for I w encounter frequencies which typically occur
in toll wing seas They are also questionable with
regard to local pressurm which are needed as input
for finite element analyzes
Approaches to improve =:
keeping properties should capture:
3 D effects are impo tant for I w encounter
frequencies and full hull form 3 D diflra tion
at the bow region of tankers contributes con
siderablJ to added resistance, [1]
Forward speed effect
Strip methods include forward speed by the
change in encounter frequency But forward
speed enters the ship motion problem in ad
ditional ways: the local steady flow field, the
steady w we pattern of the ship, and the change
of the hull form and wetted surface due to squat
(dynamic sink =- and trim)
We will present here a 3 d Pankine singuiaritJ
method (PSM) which captures all forward speed ef
fe ts The method is 'fully thre~dimensional', i e
both steady and unsteady flow contributions are cap
tured three dimensionally For a recent survey of
P nkine singularity methods for to ward speed sear
keeping, we refer to [1], [2]
2. Theory
2.1. Physical model
We consider a ship moving with mean speed
U in a harmonic wave of small amplitude h We
assume an ideal fl w Then the fundamental field
equation is Laplace's equation In addition, bound
11 art conditions are po tulat d:
I No water flows through the ship's surface
2 At the tmiling edge of the ship, the pressures
are equal on both sides (Kutta condition)
3 No water flow through the free surface (Kine
matic free su face condition)

face (Dynamic free so face condition) svatio
5 Far way from the ship, the di turbance caused
by the ship vanishes
6 Wwes created -- the ship move way from the
ship For certain combinations of frequency of
incident w we and speed of the ship, w wes cre
Ted -- the ship propagate only downstream
(Rzdiation condition)
7 Wwes created by the ship should les:ve zrtifi
cial boundaries of the computational domain
without reflection They may not reach the
ship gain (Open boundary condition)
8 Forces on the ship result in motions (Average
longitudinal forcm are subsumed to be counter
acted -- corresponding propulsive forces, i e
the werage speed U remains constant )
2.2. Mathematical model
All coordinate systems here are right handed
Czrtmian system The inertial 07 ye system moves
uniformly with velocity U x point in the dire tion
of the hod s mean velocity U. z points vertically
d w ward The Oxy sy tem is fixed at the body
and toll ws it motions When the body is at rest
position, i, y, z coincide with x, y, z The zngle
of encounter ~ between body and incident wwe is
defined such that ~ = 180° denotes head 22a and
= 90° beam sea
The body has 6 degrees of freedom for rigid
body motion We denote corresponding to the de
Frees of freedom:
7 ~ surge motion of O in x direction, relative to O
7 g way motion of O in y direction, relative to O
7 g he we motion of O in z direction, relative to O

7z zngle of pitch = zngle of rotation around y axis

Then for the 3 angles a\, the following zpprcxima~
tions are valid: 2in(c~,) = tan(~\) = a\, c02(c~,) = I
The theory has been described Other sxtensivelJ -'
[2] in the following, we will therefore only briefiJ
review the theory except in cases where cEznges to
[2] ju tiff z more detailed discussion
We decompose potential and free surface el
on into steady and time harmonic pa ts:
f202~(~ y z;t)=f(°)(~ y,z)+f(~)(~,y,z;t) (a)
= f(0) + ~2(f (~)(7 y 9)9 )
:202~ (a yip) = :(°)(~,y) + :(~)(~,y;t) (4)
= (o) + ~z(~(~)(~ y)2 ' )
The superposition principle can be used
within z linearized theory Therefore the radiation
problem for all 6 degrees of freedom of the rigid
body motions and the did action problem are solved
separately The total solution is z linear combination
of the solutions for each independent problem
The harmonic potential f(~) is divided into
the potential of the incident wave fit, the diffraction
potential Ad, and 6 radiation potentials it is onve
nient to divide fit = fW,6 + fw,~ and fd f + fS
into symmetrical and anti ymm2trical parts to tzLe
advantage of the (usual) geometrical symmetry:
f(~)=fw,6+fw,~+~f\7 +f7+f2
The conditions satisfied by the toady fi w potential
f(°) are:
The pa ticle acceleration in the toady fi w is:
.u if(°) = (Vf(°)V)Vf(°)
We define an acceleration ve tor if 9
if 9 = if(°) {O, o, get
For convenience we introduce an abbreviation:
B = 7 ~9 (Of (°)if9)
At the steady free surface:
Vf(°)if9 = 0
2(Vf( ))2 9~(0) = iU2
On the body surface:
7-OVf(°)(, = 0
Ths combined, linearized free surtacs condi
tion is at z = :(°):
( h32 + Bfh~)f(~)+
((2fh,~ + B)Vf(°) + if(°) + if 9)Vf(~) (6)
+Vf(°)(Vf(°)V)Vf(') = 0
Ths last term in (6) is sxplicitlJ written:
Vf(°)(Vf(°)V)Vf(') =
(f(0))2f(-) + (f(0))2f(~) + (f(0))2f(~)
+2 (f(o)ffo)f(~) + f(0)f(0)f(~) ~

With the abbreviation m = (~V)Vf(°) the boundary
condition at S(x-) = 0 is:
If (') + ri(m Sac L)
+c~(x x ( i ~~ L) + ~ x Vf (a)) = 0
The Kuttn condition requires that at the trailing edge
the pressures are equal on both sidm For monchulls,
this is automatically fulfilled on the centreplane for
the symmetric contributions Then only the anti Em
metric pressures have to vanish, compare (17):
P(f i + Vf (°)Vf i) = 0
This yield on point at the trailing edge:
fhlcf\+Vf(°)Vf\=0
(10)
For catamarans, the Kuttn condition requires for
both symmetric and anti ymmetric contributions,
that the pressures on both sides of the trailing edge
are the same This is enforced by selecting pairs of
collocation points at the trailing edge and matching
the pressures
The 2 unknown did action potentials and the
6 unknown radiation pot Steals are determined by
npprcximating the unkn wn potentials -- n super
position of n finite number of Pnnkine higher order
panels on the ship and above the free surface For
the anti ymmetric casm, in addition Thinrt elements
(semi infinite dipole strips on the plane y = 0), [2],
[3], are arranged and n Kuttn condition is imposed
on collocation points at the last column of collocation
points on the stern The I h s of the four system of
equations for the symmetrical cases and the I h s for
the four zJ tems of equations for the antisymmetrical
cases share the same coefficients each Thus four SJS
tems of equations can be solved simultaneously using
Gauss elimination
P diction and open boundary conditions are
fulfilled -- the 'shifiing' technique (adding one r w
of collocation points at the up tream end of the free
su face grid and one row of source elements at the
d wnstrenm end of the free surface grid), [4] This
technique w rks only well for r > 0 4, as also demon
strafed by [5] Elements use mirror im ges at y = 0
For the symmetrical cases, all mirror im ges have ~
same strength For the anti ymmetrical case, the ir
mirror images on the negative y se tor have negative
element strength of s me absolute magnitude
f =~m\p
m\ is the strength of the fth element, p the potential
of an element of unit strength including all mirror im
ages p is real for the Pnnkine element and complex

The same grid on the hull is used as for the
tends problem The grid on the free surface is :-e
at d new The quantities on the new grid are linearly
interpolated within the new grid from the valum on
the old grid Out ide the old grid in the far field,
all quantities are set to uniform flow on the new grid
The interpolation of results introduces only mall dif
Structured grids on the free su face ar
crated -- one of the foil wing techniques:
I The longitudinal grid lines follow quasi stream
lines am :- i the hull The transverse grid lines
are equidistantly spaced on lines y =const A
maximum entrance angle of 30° is kept which
results in zones not covered -- the grid near
the b w and stern of blunt ships
2 A rectangular grid is created consi ting of lines
x =const and y =const Panels within the war
terline are deleted
The first technique is well suited for slender ships, the
second technique better for blunt ships The second
technique, called 'cut out'technique was proposed for
the steady wave resistance problem by [6] and [7]
Both grid generation options are wnilable for both
tends and senkeeping fre~surtace grid generation
While it is in principle possible to switch from one
grid type to the other between steady and senkeeping
computations, it is recommended to use consistently
cut out grids for full hulls like tankers and the tan
dard grid option (quasi streamlines) for slender ships
Afier the potential f\ (I = 1 8) Ewe been
determined, only the motions I remain as unknowns

tance problem was solved The grid on the free
su face was generated using the 'cut out' technique
This technique generates a structured grid consist
ing of rectangular elements Element which are par
tiallJ or totally inside the hull are then eliminated
and then the ship ing technique is applied This tech
nique is known to give better result for full hulls than
streamlining a grid around the hull The fully nonlin
ear method used 3 iterations which reduced the error
at the free surface -- 4 orders of magnitude
The same grid for the hull was employed for
the seakeeping computations (at the dynamic trim
and sink he) Pressure integrations considered only
the area submerged in the steady case The free sur
face in the seakeeping computations was discretised
with typically 1400 elements Again the 'cut out'
technique was employed and the steady rmults inter
polated from the'steadJ' grid to the 'unsteady' grid
Test computations for two wave lengths with free
su face grids involving approximately 4200 elements
yielded rmults that were only To different This may
be interpreted as that the coarser discretisation is suf
ficient
The computational results are compared to
measurements of [12] and MHI strip method result
The strip method is based on standard STF method
with Lewis section representation, but includes an
empirical correction [13] The rmults include mo
tions and pressures on the hull at a location x =
0 078Lg~, (23 95m behind midships) The motions
agree rather well for both head sea and oblique sea
with ~ = 150°, Figs I and 2 H wever, strip method
also predicts hes:ve and pitch motions w 11 in fa t,
for long w wes strip methods gives better results than
the PSM This is not surprising Strip methods are
known to predict he we and pitch motions well for
usual ships and ship speeds The present PSM uses
the shifting technique which deteriorates in perfor
mance for r < 0 4 0 5 - .- and J w are also well
predicted, the maximum of the roll motion is under
predicted This may be due to the deterioration of
th e ship i ng technique, as for a fast contai nership with
Fin = 0 275 Be tram [2] obtained significant overpre
diction for roll resonance as expected for a method
that does not include empirical corrections for non
linear roll damping
Figs 3 and 4 compare pressures Starboard is
the weather side For head w wes the computed pres
sores are of course symmetrical to the midship plane
(90°) One point on the port side was then plotted
on its corresponding position on the starboard side
Pressures computed by thePSM greewell with mean
sured pressures for N/L < I 25 for ~ = 180° and
N/L < I 0 for ~ = 150° These limits correspond
for the investigated I w F oude number to r values
around 0 35 0 4 For sho t w wes, the computations
underpredict the pressures at the bottom of the ship
compared to measurements However, as the pres
sores should decay exponentially with depth like all
w e effect, for short waves the near zero values of
the computation appear to be more plausible and we
assume that they reflect in this case reality better
than the measured values For waves of moderate
length 0 5 < N/L < 0 75, measured and computed
pressures at the ship bottom agree well The trip
method results for pressures are worse for short w wes
N/L = 0 2, 0 3 where diffraction effects are stronger
than radiation effect
In summary, the PSM predicted pressures
and motions well, the trip method predicted pres
sores in short waver badly, but motions well The
PSM is currently limited in practice to approximately
r > 0 4 Unless techniques are developed to e tend it
to smaller r Values, the PSM will remain a research
tool of limited functionality We see hybrid methods
matching an inner PSM solution to an outer Green
function method or Fourier Kochin solution as most
promising approach to extend the method to I w r
valu m, but at present no such research is planned due
to lack of funds

3.2. Added resistance
We show hers applications to the ITTC tan
hard test case S 175 containership in head seas Com
put tions are compared to experiment of Mitsubishi
Heavy Industries Fig 5 shows results for Fin = 0 25
and Fig 6 for Fin = 0 3 For all three motions the
agreement is good in fact, the computational result
for hes:vs for long waves appear to he more plan
sibls, as they tend as expected monotonously to I
The discrepancies between experiments and compu
tations for the higher F ouds number Fin = 0 3 are
most likely due to nonlinear damping enacts in the

DISCUSSION

1) I thi k that you solved iteratively the non-
lmear free surface boundary condition in Nat
case, how did you rre It the coefficients (such as
added mass, damping, ~estormg force) of the
motion equation?
2) You mentioned that She panel shift method
c m not meet the radiation condition for some
cases Do you have my clterrurtive idea to
satisfy the radiation condition for such case ?
AU? HORS'RRPLY
1) We heated She linearized (unsteady) ship
motion problem based on fully nonlinear steady
flown] Then, since the ship motion problem is
linearized, we c m defme all coefficients such as
added mass, damping, restoring force md
exciting forces Of course, the effect of steady
wave elevation md flow on the coefficients i
included in the computations
2) We see Bow tl led hybrid methods matching m
inner RSM solution to m outer Green function
method or Fourier-Kochin solution as most
promising approach to extend the method to low
values

Fir fly I wish to commend you for completing
complicated calculations of the added resistance
with the pressure mteg~ation method I have c
couple of questions concerning the grids I
under t md that what you call 'cut - ou t' technique
is used for c tanker md possibly S-175
contamership as well Why do you thi k the
'cut-out'techmique goes w 11? If you use the
clterrurtive qucsi-steamline grid, how is the
result going to be? Does She computation break
down or are obtained results much different from
experiments? Ale there some criteria of which
grid should be used for given values of the b lock
coefficient md She Froude mmmber?
AU7 HORS'RRPLY
We used'cut-out'method for the computation of
LCC he reason is that qmtsi-ttretmlined
grids either give ve y distorted grids near the
bow md stern or do not locate collocation points
on She water surface near the ship ends Distorted
cells lead to problems with She radiation
condition he tut-out'medhod is robuster m
this respect for f 11 waterline forms We
recommend the cut-out method for ships with
block~oefficients clove 0 7

Appmently, c pressure t Reducer is located on
th water line m your experiment This
t msducer is mtturally out of water some
duration during one period of the motion Then
the time histo y of the pressme measured will be
of not c sinusoidal but c truncated sinusoidal
So I wonder how you treated with the truncated
curve to derive your value of pressure if you
take She first harm onic components of f is curve,
you will obtain much smaller amplitude of the
pressure Nevertheless, your pressme It the
water line looks consistent with the pressure It
other locations
AU7 HORS'RRPLY
As you pointed out, w observedth time history
of c rmnctred simmsoidal curve m the pressure
measurement m She vicinity of he water Ime
From the time hi tory data, cmplit de was
defmed Is variation betw en zero-level md the
positive peck value[l2] So She experimental data
plotted m Figs 3 md 4 is not th first harm mic
components of She curve in the computations,
w do not take She truncated effect mto account
The reason why the calculated accuracy is
imufhcient in She vicinity of water Ime may be
due to treatment of the truncated effect
