... Bilge keels will significantly increase the damping of roll motions as well as generate a lift force if any forward motion of the ship is present. The prediction of ship roll motions has been difficult because of its nonlinear nature as well as the strong dependence on forward speed.

... The cylindrical emerged body has been extended downstream to the outflow boundary because of difficulties with the free surface boundary conditions for the actual flat back of the cylinder. Flow region - volume grids Structured grids are used for the present calculations.

... The one period of measured angular velocity,—, is dt used for input to the RANS solver for all time and the Figure 9 Grid rotation for the emerged body same one period of measured flow results is used for validating the RANS solver solutions. Force comparisons are made of the measured normal force on the individual bilge keels with the RANS force for one period of roll.

... immersed Body Comparisons Figures 10-13 show comparisons for the immersed body. Each figure shows the calculated and measured normal force on the bilge keels versus time for one period of roll motion.

... , Immersed Figure 14 shows a comparison of the calculated velocity vectors with the velocities obtained from PIV data, looking aft at the port bilge keel, for the zero forward speed case where the roll motion amplitude is approximately 15° and its frequency is .32 Hz. The calculated velocity was interpolated to the PIV point locations.

... The linearized free surface boundary condition is used in these calculations. For the O forward speed case there is a significant difference between the measured port and starboard bilge keel forces.
From page 692...
... Once convinced of the good performance of the RANS code for predicting bilge keel forces for forced roll body tests, the solutions are used to compare differences in force data due to varying roll test parameters. These tests use an ideal sinusoidal roll motion, resulting in smooth force results.

... . The Fourier decomposition of the force histories shown in Figure 20, shows that the first harmonic sin and cos terms have about equal contributions at a particular speed, but reduce as the forward speed increases.

From page 696...
... Calculations performed using an ideal sinusoidal roll motion allowed trends to be investigated by enforcing the same roll motion for a number of forward speeds and simplified (somewhat) the harmonic content of the total bilge keel force.
