Determination of the nonlinear roll damping of a barge by means of viscous flow simulations: An advanced approach to compute roll damping characteristics with CFD

For many types of floating structures, roll motion is the most important wave induced motion. More specifically, roll motion is of high significance for barges, in order to correctly predict the acceleration of the structure caused by roll motion and determine the procedure of sea-fastening and off-loading. The correct forecast of roll motion...
