This is probably the limit: more complexity ➙ custom BC


Outflow b.c.

• Two approaches used in tandem:

• advection BC:

• high-pass filter, best for filtering long waves

• ineffective for zero forward speed, but good for other cases

• Numerical beach: low-pass filter, best for damping short waves


Numerical beach

• νd is a scalar dissipation function• Zero everywhere except in the sponge layer region• νd(x) defined as a cubic (Clement, 1996)• Grid expansion is also effective at filtering short waves

∂ρU∂t

+∇ · (ρUU) = −∇p +∇ · µ∇U + ρg − σκn− νd(x)ργU


• Studied numerous lengths and magnitudes.

• Evaluated by defining a reflection coefficient

– Breaking and non-breaking waves tested– Block face and angle varied– Data taken from slam panels and pressure gages– Pressures and forces taken relative to calm water level– Average load of 75 to 150 wave impacts

• Overset meshing requires the following modifications to a CFD solver–Blank out regions of the mesh–Interpolation of fringe and outer boundary cells from

donor meshes (tri-linear interpolation)–Modification of algebraic solvers (Hard part)

• Breaks symmetry of pressure Poisson equation. Solution: PETSc GMRES solver

• Momentum and turbulence solved with 2-stage Jacobi• Future work: modify OpenFOAM solvers (GAMG, PGC,

BiCGStab, etc.) and compare to PETSc solvers

Conclusions• Different CFD formulations required for various aspects of Ship

Hydrodynamics

• Steady VOF - URANS - LES/DES - vehicle motions: all have unique challenges

• interFoam-class solvers work well for transient problems such as wave propagation, wave slap, wave forces

• Develop work required to stitch everything together

• Boundary-condition formulation for oblique/beam/trailing seas needs attention

• Overset has been implemented and tested. Needs to be compared to GGI/dynamic mesh for seakeeping simulations
