.... This paper used in house computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to solve unsteady RANS equation coupled with six degrees of freedom (6DOF) solid body motion equations. URANS equations are solved by finite difference method and PISO algorithm. Structured grid with overset technology have been used to make...

... this complex phenomenon. In the present study, the 3D sink-source method has been adopted to determine the hydrodynamic forces by taking into account the effect of hydrodynamic interactions among the different floating bodies, and the coupled equations of motions are solved directly. The validation...
