Development of a numerical hydrodynamic tank for ship motion simulation

In this paper, an integrated computational procedure for simulation of two-phase flow as well as floating and submerged body motions is presented based on a Volume of Fluid (VoF) - fractional step coupling. Two fluids are modeled as a single continuum with a fluid property jump at the interface by solving a scalar transport equation for volume...

A Finite-Depth Unified Theory of Ship Motion

Hydrodynamic forces and ship motions induced by surges in a navigation lock

This thesis treats the fluid and ship motion in a navigation lock and their mutual interaction as caused by surges, which occur in the chamber during filling or emptying. The other phenomena, which possibly play a role during these processes are ignored. The considerations of this treatise hold good for one ship in the chamber of the navigation...
