Comparison of RANS and Potential Flow Force Computations for the ONR Tumblehome Hullfrom in Vertical Plane Radiation and Diffraction Problems

The commercial CFD software STAR-CCM+ is applied as a RANS solver for comparison with potential flow methods in the calculation of vertical plane radiation and diffraction problems.  A two-dimensional rectangular cylinder oscillating in an unbounded fluid is first considered, and the added mass resu...
