Data provided by

The distributed data are the results from a computational experimental campaign carried out by the David Taylor Model Basin (NSWC/CD), West Bethesda, MD, USA.  The work was sponsored by the US Navy’s Naval Sea System Command (NAVSEA) PMS 500.

Hull geometry data

Three dimensional hull forms (bare hull).

File formats: IGES

Loading condition(s)

One loading condition for each model

Numerical data

Comparative analysis of several existing computer codes in their ability to calculate potential flow forces and moments acting on hulls in motions that range from small to large. Several potential flow programs were selected to compute the forces and moments exerted on bodies undergoing various prescribed motions. The flow configurations ranged from a regime where linearity might be sufficient to regimes where nonlinearities are expected to be important. Code runners, in most cases the code developers, were assigned well-defined tasks of three types:

one where the ship undergoes 1-DOF prescribed oscillations in calm water (task 1, the radiation problem), one where the ship advances with zero degrees of freedom at a fixed forward speed in waves (task 2, the diffraction problem), and one where the ship undergoes hybrid 2-DOF prescribed motion in waves (task 3, the nominal wave contouring problem). Each task assigned to a code runner required the computation to be done for two speeds and two models scaled to full size.
