Prediction of a ship's roll motion in parametric roll and dead ship condition using CFD and experiments is time consuming and expensive, while a reliable equation based method can drastically decrease the computation time. The commonly used roll motion equation contains roll mass and added mass moment of inertia, damping and restoring terms and associated coefficients. Improving the prediction of these coefficients increases the accuracy of the method. There is a lack of precise calculation for the roll added mass moment of inertia, which is commonly estimated using semi-empirical techniques and as a percentage of the roll mass moment of inertia coefficient. This paper presents a new method to determine the roll added mass moment of inertia using CFD simulations based on a harmonic excitation roll motion technique and the results are compared against Bhattacharyya's method. The influences of excitation frequency, Froude number, roll angle and appendages on the roll motion characteristics and the roll added mass moment of inertia coefficient are investigated. In addition, the roll added mass moment of inertia coefficients on the model scale and full scale ship are computed to investigate the scale effect.
