Numerical Ship and Offshore Hydrodynamics

This document summarizes a lecture on frequency domain panel methods for analyzing zero-speed wave structure interaction problems. It discusses the usefulness of such methods, popular software packages that use these methods, and the general solution approach. The solution approach involves formulating the linearized boundary value problem, defining the velocity potential, selecting an appropriate Green's function, discretizing the domain, formulating the integral equations, and solving the resulting linear system of equations. The document provides details on declaring the velocity potential, applying boundary conditions, and the structure of common Green's functions used in infinite water depth problems.

Lecture 21: Frequency domain Panel Method

• Introduction Frequency Domain Panel Method


• NSOH Frequqncy Domain Panel Method-1
• NSOH Prof Ranadev Datta
• Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics lecture 21
Usefulness:
 Study of zero speed wave structure interaction problem is one
of the most important area in the field of marine
hydrodynamics.

 It allows to predict wave induced load and motion of a offshore


structure in sea way when the body is stationary.

 Presently, many software are available which solves zero


speed radiation diffraction problems.

 Now a days, almost every big offshore companies are having


such type of software's in order to capture the wave load on
offshore structure.

 Some popular software's : WAMIT, MOSES etc..


Some broad areas where people are using these type of solvers
to calculate hydrodynamic forces:
 Responses and force analysis of floating offshore structure
such as Semi submersible etc

 Responses and force analysis of floating point absorber ( wave


– energy device )

 Offshore wind turbine

 Study of Multi body dynamics :: Mostly seen at the time of


cargo shifting.

 Numerical wave tank.

these class of problems:

Steps : solution for the unknown potential 
 Formulate the linearized boundary value problem

 Define  based on the physical problem

 Select proper Green’s function

 Formulate the Integral equation based on types of distribution of the singular-


ity function.

 Discretize the computational domain based on the choice of green’s function.

 Discretize the unknown potential

 Formulate the linear system of equation from the integral equation.

 Solve Linear system of equation.


Formulation of the linearized boundary value problem
Since the velocity potential is time harmonic, one can assume is as follows:

  x , t      x  e  ................(1)
it

Then the boundary value problem can be written as :


   0 for x  .....................(2)
2

n  vn on S0 , B .........................(3)
 2
    z  0 on F0 .................(4)
g
With linear Radiation condition :

kR  R  ik   0 as R  x  y   2 2

Superposition of Wave Loads


Based on above idea, one can define total velocity poten-
tial as: 6
  I  d    j .......(6)
j 1
Where 1st, 2nd, 3rd term in the right hand side represents velocity
potentials due to incident, diffracted and radiated waves.
Declaration of the velocity potential..
Since the velocity potential is assumed to be time harmonic,
one can further modify (6) as

General Structure of Green’s function
The green’s function can be assumed to be of the form

in 2 D : G  
2
 ln r  H  P; Q 

Where
:
r  x  P    Q 

equation every where in the computational domain
General Structure of Green’s function cont..
 Thus the greens function G can be divided into singular
part and the regular part
o Rankine source ( singular part )
o H provides modification to it ( regular part )

 It is elementary to show that if H satisfies the same


homogeneous boundary condition as on some parts of
the boundary, then contribution from those boundary
surfaces become zero, and hence can be discarded.
 Thus, if H satisfies the free surface condition, the bottom
condition and the radiation condition, then the boundary
integral reduces to body surface only.
