Numerical Investigation of the 6-DOF Seakeeping Performances of the KCS Containership

The topic of the present paper subscribes to one of the most challenging themes that are nowadays under the spotlight of the scientific community. It describes a substantiated method aimed not only at predicting accurately the consequences of the associated effects of navigation in waves but also at contributing to ruling the conditions in which the operation of a ship should be performed is presented. A series of multiple degrees of freedom (DOF hereafter) simulations of the MOERI (Korea Research Institute for Ships and Ocean Engineering) container ship (KCS hereafter) hull moving in regular waves are performed and thoroughly validated with the experimental data provided by the organizers of the Tokyo 2015 Workshop on CFD in Ship Hydrodynamics. A verification and validation (V&V hereafter) is performed for the calm water navigation case to prove the robustness of the theoretical approach. Several numerical innovations are proposed, and the solutions are discussed in every detail aimed at setting up a properly established methodology usable in further similar studies. Finally, a set of remarks will conclude the present research.
