  2. Overview • Introduction • Governing Equations, Boundary Conditions and Numerical Formulation. • Comparison of results from the 2D unsteady Euler, Navier-Stokes Solvers with measurements. • Visualization of separated flow field. • Summary and future work.

  3. IntroductionMotivation & Objectives • Develop and validate a method for the prediction of the effects of bilge keels on FPSO Hull motion. • Understand the physics of the unsteady separated flow about the bilge keels of a hull subject to roll motions, and predict the corresponding hydrodynamic coefficients.

  4. Motivation & Objectives • In this work, we apply and validate our model to a bilge keel (vertical plate) subject to horizontal sinusoidal inflow.

  5. Literature Review • Numerical Work: • Gentaz et al. 1997 • Korpus and Falzarano 1997 • Vassalos et al. 2000 • Yeung et al. 1992, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002 • Experiments on Vertical Plate: -Keulegan and Carpenter 1958 -Sarpkaya and O’Keefe 1995

  6. Numerical FormulationGoverning Equation • Non-Dimensional Navier-Stokes equations KC: Keulegan-Carpenter number, Re: Reynolds number,

  7. Numerical Method • Finite Volume Method • Ni’s Lax-Wendroff Method for time • Artificial dissipation (viscosity) ~ only in the case of Euler solver • SIMPLE Method for pressure correction

  8. Euler and Navier-Stokes Solver • Choi & Kinnas 2000, Choi PhD thesis 2000 -Development of Euler Solver and Navier-Stokes solver. • Kakar MS thesis 2002 • Application of unsteady 2D Euler solver of flow over bilge keels for FPSO hull motion. • Euler Solver ~ Applied artificial viscosity • Navier-Stokes Solver ~ Viscous terms

  9. Force Calculation on the plate • Morison’s equation as follows [Sarpkaya and O’Keefe (1995)]

  18. KC=10

  19. Summary • A finite volume method was applied to the solution of oscillating flow around a vertical flat plate. The same plate and tunnel dimensions as in the experiment of Sarpkaya and O'Keefe have been used. • It was found, that either the Euler or the Navier-Stokes solver produced force coefficients and separated flow fields which were close to each other and also close to the measurements, especially for lower values of the Keulegan-Carpenter number.

  20. Summary • For higher KC numbers, the viscous terms start to be more important, and the effects of turbulence may need to be taken into account. • The Euler solver has already been extended in the case of FPSO hull sections, with and without bilge keels, and some preliminary results have been presented in Kinnas, et al., 12th Offshore Symposium, Texas section of the SNAME, 2003.

  21. Future Work • Further investigations with different Re numbers and KC numbers. • Continue with the extension in the case of FPSO hull sections to study the effects of bilge keels.
