The article presents the Seakeeping research software, developed for the computation of a ship’s motions in regular and irregular waves on the basis of the following ship parameters: length between perpendiculars, beam, draught, block coefficient and transverse initial metacentric height. The software implements approximating functions of amplitude-phase characteristics of rolling, heaving, and pitching, developed by the author by means of artificial neural networks. The software determines transfer functions for the phenomena accompanying the rolling motion, such as slamming, green water, propeller surfacing, vertical acceleration forward and on the bridge. The article discusses possible uses of the software in scientific research, ship design and operation, and for educational purposes.

We present a fully nonlinear method for numerical simulation of the inundation of an arbitrary solid body in large waves. The method is based on potential flow and is therefore expected to break down when wave breaking sets in. The method is expected to be useful to predict the initial phase of inundation and can thus give the flow field as initial condition to some other method more appropriate for the later stages of green water. We employ an artificial tri-harmonic potential inside the solid body in order to avoid introducing singularities in the solution. Spline-based basis potentials are constructed and are used in a collocation spectral method. We illustrate the method for the special case of waves inundating a truncated cylinder.
