RANS computations of a ship with heave and pitch motions in head waves are presented. The added resistance, heave and pitch motions are investigated numerically. The computations are based on volume of fluid (VOF) and dynamic deformation mesh methods, discretized by finite volume method (FVM). A six-degree-of-freedom (6DoF) module is implemented to predict the ship motions. Four wave conditions with a wide range of wave steepness 400025 ≤ ak ≤ 001005 are considered. The wave length for all conditions is one ship length, and the results show strong nonlinear features, especially for ak = 00100, where the phenomenon of green water on deck is observed. The comparison of added resistance between the presented computational results and measurements shows good agreement. A grid convergence study with three different grids is performed at ak = 00025 for validation. All computations are performed by our solver, naoe-Foam-SJTU, developed under the framework of the open source code, OpenFOAM.
