Focused Wave Loading on a Fixed FPSO Using Naval Hydro Pack

Validation of the Naval Hydro CFD software pack for focused wave loading on a fixed FPSO is presented in this paper. Naval Hydro is based on Finite Volume CFD software called foam–extend–4.0, and it is specialised for large–scale, two-phase surface flows encountered in naval hydrodynamics. Simulations are performed using SWENSE method (Spectral Wave Explicit Navier–Stokes Equations) for solution decomposition, while implicit relaxation zones are employed for wave initialisation and damping. Numerical results are submitted to a blind comparison with experimental results within the CCP–WSI Blind Test Workshop. Six cases are considered altogether where different incident waves and incident angles are considered. Pressure loads and free surface elevation are considered in this work.
