To evaluate the unsteady motion in laterally berthing maneuver, it is necessary to grasp very clearly the magnitude and properties of the hydrodynamic forces acting on ship hull in shallow water. In this study, numerical calculation was made to investigate quantitatively the hydrodynamic force according to the water depth for Wigley model using the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) technique. Comparing the computational results to the experimental ones, the validity of the CFD method was verified. The numerical solutions evaluated the hydrodynamic force with good accuracy, and then captured the features of the flow field around the ship in detail. The transitional lateral force in a state ranging from rest to uniform motion is modeled by using the concept of the circulation.

This paper considers the numerical computation of added resistance on ships in the presence of incident waves. As a method of solution, a higher-order Rankine panel method is applied in time domain. The added resistance is evaluated by integrating the second-order pressure on the body surface. Computational results are validated by comparing with experimental data and other computational results on a hemi-sphere, a barge, Wigley hull models, and Series 60 hull, showing very fair agreements. The study is extended to the comparison between Neumann-Kelvin and double-body linearization approaches, and their differences are discussed.

In order to keep the safety of maneuverability under the lateral berthing, it is necessary to estimate the magnitudes and properties of the hydrodynamic forces acting on ship hull quantitatively. In this paper, CFD technique is used to calculate the steady lateral force according to the water depth for Wigley model under the unsteady lateral berthing. The numerical results are analysed into the steady lateral force and the transitional lateral force, and some of reviews for the safety of maneuverability relating to the lateral berthing are discussed based on the computed hydrodynamic forces.

Accurate simulation of free-surface wave flows around a ship is very important for better hull-form design. In this paper, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code, termed SNUFOAM, which is based on the open source libraries, OpenFOAM, was developed to predict the wave patterns around a ship. Additional anti-diffusion source term for minimizing a numerical diffusion, which was caused by convection differencing scheme, was considered in the volume-fraction transport equation. The influence of the anti-diffusion source term was tested by applying it to free-surface wave flow around the Wigley model ship. In results, the band width of the volume fraction contours between 0.1 to 0.9 at the hull surface was narrowed by considering the anti-diffusion term.

The wave-pattern analysis has been one of important research tools in the towing tank, and applied for hull form design. The longitudinal-cut method of Newman and Sharma is adopted in KRIS deep towing tank. Instrumentations and data acquisition systems are developed for that. Local effects and truncation effects are estimated by using calculated wave patterns of simple source distributions. Wigley model of 2m is used to check the accuracy of the whole system. Cut positions and truncation points are changed to investigate characteristics of the wave-pattern analysis. Coefficients of wave-pattern resistance are low-estimated in comparison with those of Maruo and Ikehata. The general quality of the system is very good, but some more efforts to increase the accuracy are required. Two full-form models(one basic form, the other with bulbous bow) are tested to show high application-possibilities of the wave-pattern analysis for the hull form design.

The two different approaches for solving the nonlinear ship wave problem are disscussed in the present paper. The first one is based on a panel method which neglects the viscous effects. Another one is based on a finite volume method which solves RANS equations. The present paper has been focused on the advantages/disadvantages of the above two methods. The developed methods are applied to calculating the flow around Wigley hull & Series 60 hull to validate the performance of the present nonlinear method, Although the two methods employ quite different numerical approaches, the calculated wave patterns from the both methods show good agreements with the experiments.

A Series 60, $C_b=0.60$ model was tested in the towing tank of Seoul National University. Total resistance, hull attitude, wake distributions and wave measured at FR condition(free trim and sinkage) and FX condition(fixed trim and sinkage). From the measured data, residual, viscous and wave pattern resistance components were evaluated and compared. It is found that the changes in wetted surface area should be considered in predictions of frictional resistances, and can be easily found from hydrostatic data and measured mean sinkages without additional tests. Applications of the concept to the geosim tests of Series 60, Wigley, Lucy Ashton models show that the conventional extrapolation method can be improved considerably.

Numerical and experimental studies are carried out to analyse the resistance characteristics of a hydrofoil catamaran which is advancing on calm water with uniform speed. For the hydrofoil catamaran with modified Wigley hull which has asymmetric transverse section and transom stem, the studies are carried out for the range of Froude number 0.2 to 1.0 and the angle of attack of the hydrofoil $0.0^{\circ}$ to $3.0^{\circ}$. The model tests are carried out in the ship model basin of Inha University. Also the numerical computations using a finite difference method are performed for the simulations of fluid flow around the hull form and the results are compared with the results of the model tests. The present computation results show well quantitative agreement with the experimental results. The experimental results show that the shape and angle of attack of the foils exerts a considerable influence on the running posture and resistance performance of ship.

In computing the wave resistance numerically, satisfying the boundary condition(BC) on the body surface is not so difficult, and then what form of the BC on the free surface(FS) be used is a crucial question. To shed some light on this, we examine the various BC's on the FS, namely, the Poisson's[1], the Ogilvie's[2] and the Dawson's[3] BC, using the same panel method for submerged bodies in two-dimension. We also show the performance of the Poisson's BC for a submerged sphere and the Wigley hull. It seems that we are still in need of a theory which gives a BC on the FS more accurate than those tested, and more practically applicable than the exact nonlinear BC.

The unsteady problems of ships in waves are analyzed by a low order panel method with Rankine source. Considering the basic flow as the uniform incoming flow(so called Kelvin flow) and also the double body flow. the solutions to satisfy the governing equation with the boundary conditions are obtained, and these two results are compared. The hydrodynamic coefficients for the modified Wigley hull and Series 60($C_B=0.7$) are computed and compared with the experimental data available and also other computational results published. It is shown that the computational results by the double body approximation agree well with the experimental results compared with those by the uniform Kelvin flow approximation.
