Abstract

Numerical simulations were performed about the green water problem of a FPSO. Three regular waves in head sea were tested. A rectangular box-shaped FPSO was considered and it is assumed there is a vertical wall on the deck. For the numerical simulations, an open-source CFD code, OpenFOAM, was applied to solve the present problems. Focus is on wave fields around the FPSO, water flows and impact pressures on the deck. For the validation, the present calculation results were compared with the existing experimental of Lee et al. (2012) and Changwon university in KTTC Cooperative Study Report (2015). The statistical values and spatial distribution of the peak pressures are directly compared with the experimental data. Some discussions are made on the effects of the domain breadth on the Green water impact pressure.
