Wave Response Prediction of a Containership Scale Model Using CFD with Overset Mesh Method

A numerical framework for estimating the wave response of an ultra-large con- tainer ship model using the CFD method, in particular with overset mesh method, is presented. The specified ship model is designed at the LHEEA laboratory in Nantes for a benchmark study [1], providing experimental data for test cases available. The open source CFD toolkit OpenFOAM® is deployed [2], in which the overset mesh method is used to handle large amplitude motions due to waves. The results of the CFD solution are compared with experimental data and the potential flow solution. Satisfactory accuracy is achieved with the experiment, while the potential flow code is again found to be inad- equate for large amplitude responses.
