... damping due to limitations in both model tests and theoretical formulae. It is the objective of this study to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) methodology to predict roll damping and roll motion accurately for the concept design of a new-build barge-shaped FPSO vessel with bilge keels...

... Dynamics (CFD) are employed to investigate the nonlinear roll damping and hydrodynamic loads on the bilge keels. Roll decay tests and CFD simulations are carried out for a FPSO vessel to estimate the roll damping and drag coefficients of the bilge keels with extended depths. Also seakeeping model tests...
