All the computations are carried out by our in-house CFD solver naoe-FOAM-SJTU and the overset grid module is used to update the ship motions with rotating propellers while a self-developed 3D wave tank module is applied to generate desired wave environment. The ship model is advancing at its model point obtained with previous CFD results in calm water and the simulation is according to the bench- mark case from the Tokyo 2015 CFD Workshop in ship hydrodynamics. The predicted results, i.e. ship motions and instantaneous advancing speeds are presented and compared with the availa- ble experimental data. Propulsion coefficients, Kr and KQ, as well as detailed information of the flow field are also given to explain the hydrodynamic performance during the self-propulsion in waves. Good agreements are achieved which indicate that the present approach is applicable for the direct simulation of self-propulsion in waves.展开更多
