| Abstract: | A harmonic wave group single run seakeeping procedure is developed, validated and compared with regular wave and transient wave group procedures, using an unsteady Reynolds averaged Navier–Stokes solver, although all procedures can be also implemented using experiments or potential flow. Incoming waves are generated by linear superposition of potential solution for a number of component waves. The regular wave procedure requires multiple runs, whereas single run procedures obtain the response amplitude operators (RAO) for a range of frequencies at a fixed speed, assuming linear ship response. The transient wave group procedure provides continuous RAO curves, while the harmonic wave group procedure obtains discrete transfer functions without focusing. Results are presented for heave and pitch response amplitudes and phases for the DTMB model 5512 in head waves. Verification and validation studies are performed for the transient wave group procedure. Validation is achieved at the average interval of 9.54 (%D). Comparisons of the procedures show that the harmonic wave group procedure is the most efficient, saving 75.8% on the computational cost compared with the regular wave procedure. Error values from all procedures are similar at 4 (%D). Harmonic wave group results are validated for a wide range of the Froude numbers, with satisfactory results. |
