What is Computational Marine Hydrodynamics

◻ The use of computers and numerical methods to solve problems


involving fluid flow around Marine Structure.

■ Resistance and propulsion


■ Energy harvesting
■ Wave modelling
■ Vortex induced vibration
■ Coastal hydraulics
■ Wave loading on ships, coastal and offshore structures
■ Ocean currents, weather forecasting
Wave loads problem ocean environment
Wind force Current Force
Estimation of load
◻ Hydroelastic motion governing equation of ship advancing in waves

[m], [c] and [k] are the generalized structural mass, damping and stiffness matrices,
respectively;
[p] denotes the generalized principal coordinate column matrix;
Fluid force terms:
[FI] Froude–Krylov force
[FS] Hydrostatic restoring force
[FD] Diffraction force
[FR] Radiation force
[FSL] Slamming load
[FGW] Green water load
Estimation of load (Choice of method)
◻ Froude–Krylov force, hydrostatic restoring force, slamming loads and
green water loads are calculated on the instantaneous wetted surface
of the ship to include the nonlinearities associated with hull geometry.

◻ In contrast, the diffraction force and radiation force, which are


obtained by solving the free-surface Green function, are remain as
linear and calculated on the mean wetted ship surface in calm water.

Potential Flow
Introduction to Incompressible Potential Flow:
◻ This is not meant to be an exhaustive dive into potential flow; it is only meant as an introduction to
incompressible potential flow and how we can use potential flow theory to get simplified solutions to some
otherwise complicated problems.

◻ When solving complex problems in aerodynamics, we can start with the most general equations we know, for
instance, the Navier-Stokes equations (which themselves already have a couple of assumptions built in, but are
not very limiting). These equations require detailed numerical solutions, so we would like to simplify them down
by making some more valid assumptions. We will be making two assumptions here:

1. Irrotational flow (angular velocity/vorticity is zero)

2. Incompressible flow (density is constant)

◻ The first assumption results in what we call potential flow theory, while the second assumption gives us the more
specific incompressible potential flow, which we can use to calculate, for example, the flow around an airfoil.
