1) Objectives
The objective of this series of lectures is to introduce the students to the most important environmental
source of loading structure loading: sea waves. The lectures are divided into two main parts.
First we give an overview of some of the numerous mathematical models used to represent free surface
gravity waves, and the associated underlying flow. The scope is voluntarily restricted to the most useful
models generally used by naval engineers and researchers. In a few cases, a deeper theoretical insight is
presented in order to allow the students to understand the subtleties of water wave theory. In the
second part, the use of the statistical approach is presented, both for the representation of sea states
and for the ships response.
2) Contents
a) Waves modeling:
Derivation of governing non-linear equations; introduction of multiple scales method to
generate particular subset of equations.

1) Objectives
The objective here is to give a complete presentation of the available models for the determination of
the ships response in a seaway, emphasizing the advantages and drawbacks of each approach.
First, we give a complete presentation of the linearized theory of wave-body interactions, treated in a
deterministic sense. Both frequency domain and time domain approaches are described. Fundamental
relations between both solutions are systematically emphasized. High and low frequency second order
effects are explained and illustrated.
Then, an overview of the available nonlinear theories of seakeeping is given. Different levels of
approximation are described, from the simple addition of nonlinear hydrostatics to fully nonlinear time
domain models.
In addition to the theoretical part, practical exercises are proposed to the students, based on some
typical state of the art numerical software for ship seakeeping.

1) Objectives
The goal of this class is to present an overview of the CFD methods for the computation of viscous freesurface unsteady flows for naval applications. The lecture gives exhaustive information concerning the
strategies for the discretisation of Navier-Stokes equations and for the representation of the free
surface, either by free surface tracking techniques or by free surface capturing techniques. The pros and
cons of each strategy are discussed.
In addition to well established field discretization methods, the SPH (Smooth Particles Hydrodynamics)
method is presented. This method has been recently developed for hydrodynamic problems, and solves
Navier Stokes or Euler equations on the basis of a set of interpolating kernels moving with Lagrangian
control points, thus not relying on any mesh structure. This method is especially efficient for the solution
of certain problems of great interest faced by ship designers, such as bow or stern slamming, green
water on deck, sloshing flows in LNG tanks, etc
Practical projects are proposed to the students, based on the use of a finite difference Navier-Stokes
solver especially developed for naval applications, ICARE, and on a SPH code dedicated to free surface
flow problems, SPH-Flow. Both softwares are developed by Ecole Centrale de Nantes, with partners such
as Hydrocean and, Bassin dEssais des Carnes, among others.
2) Contents
a) VISCOUS FLOW NUMERICAL SIMULATION BY METHODS BASED ON NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS
i. Navier-Stokes Equations, RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes) Equations in cartesian

ii. Boundary conditions, Free surface conditions, compatibility with no-slip conditions
iii. Navier-Stokes Equations in curvilinear space, partial and total transformation, metrics
iv. Conservative formulation
v. Case of unsteady computational space, deformation velocities, constraint on generalised

vi. Mesh Modeling : Finite Element, Finite Difference, Finite Volume, comparison, consistency,
stability
vii. Velocity-Pressure coupling, Checkerboard instabilities, unknowns localization strategies,
Rhie and Chow interpolation
viii. Velocity-Pressure-Free Surface coupling, Large linear systems solving, preconditioning
ix. Tracking and Capturing method (VOF, Level Set) to compute free surface
x. Functional decomposition of RANS Equation to include wave generation and propagation in
RANS solvers: the SWENSE (Spectral Wave Explicit Navier-Stokes Equations) principle;
advantages compared to usual way to compute wave influence.
b) SPH MESH FREE METHOD:
i. General presentation of the SPH method
ii. Interpolation kernels
iii. Time marching schemes
iv. Boundary conditions
v. Improvement of accuracy: renormalisation, smoothing, Riemann solver
vi. Extension to multi-physics simulations, example of fluid-structure modeling using SPH
vii. Parallelization aspects
c) PRACTICAL TRAINING:
Practical work using a free surface Navier-Stokes solver developed at Centrale Nantes will be
proposed to study and compute ship resistance and wave-body interactions cases. It includes
the meshing of the fluid domain around the studied structure, study of computation
convergence with meshing refinement, comparison of results with experiments or coming from
other numerical methods. Bow impact problems will be studied using a SPH meshless method.

1) Objectives
The classical design process is made of three steps that are performed sequentially: hull design, hull
performances evaluation, and performances analysis. Usually, this process is repeated iteratively while
modifying the design until the naval architect either runs out of time or money: the design is then
optimized. In the past years, when numerical tools were not available or not sufficiently accurate, the
evaluation of the hull relied essentially on tank tests. This step is time consuming and only allows a
limited number of evaluations during a fixed design period. With the improvement of numerical tolls
ability to compute hull form performances, the time required to evaluate a hull has decreased to less
than few hours so that in the fixed design period, an innumerable number of hulls can be evaluated. The
limiting factor in the optimization chain, that was originally the evaluation of the hull, is now the time
spent designing the hull and the time spent to analyze the results. The reduction in this cycle time is the
main motivation for automating the full process, from the hull design to the analysis of the results and
further developing an optimization tool that limits the human intervention to the selection and control
of the main hull parameters which are investigated.
The optimization process is then composed of four major components: a hull modeling software that
generates hull shapes, a meshing software that automatically generates the three dimensional mesh
around the hull, a set of solvers for ship resistance, stability or motion in waves evaluation, and at last
an optimization software (Mode-Frontier) that drives hull design parameters according to multiobjectives and constraints defined by the user.
2) Contents
a) Presentation of existing optimisation schemes (derivative algorithms, simplex algorithm, genetic
algorithms).
b) Industrial cases of optimisation
c) Presentation of ModeFrontier, an multi-objective optimization software.
d) Multi objective optimization in the naval context: cost and performance, power and seakeeping,
etc.

e) Practical use of Mode Frontier connected with a wave resistance software for the shape
optimization of a ship with respect to resistance.

validate new designs.
