Numerical simulation of green water incident on bow deck

초록

The importance of predicting the effect due to green water on a ship bow becomes decisive in designing a modern ship. In order to predict the green water impact on the bow structure efficiently, various numerical methods have been checked and compared to develop the desired numerical simulation technique. The Marker-density method has been applied to capture the extremely complicate free-surface with breaking on it, associated with the differentiated nonlinear governing equations. For a specific case, the green water phenomena on a model ship with wedge type bow structure have been simulated in this paper.
