Experimental validation of a CFD model for inline force and bow wave height on a vertical cylinder moving in waves
conference contribution

A Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model has been developed using Caelus® open source code. A stationary mesh was developed and the wave libraries were modified to generate current of a speed equal to the velocity of the moving cylinder while still prescribing the desired wave profile. The capability of the CFD model has been illustrated by the very good agreement achieved against results from physical experiments performed in a towing tank for various conditions of increasing complexity.
