Evaluation of slamming loads on V-shape ship sections with different numerical methods

Description

This work deals with the application of different numerical methods for the evaluation of slamming loads on V-shape sections, namely a commercial CFD VOF program and Smoothed Particles Hydrodynamics Method (SPH) currently under development at DINAV; preliminary results from both methods are presented, together with a comparison between the two methodologies, stressing their relative merits and shortcomings.
