Seakeeping simulation of a container ship in bow waves using OpenFOAM

Solver: swenseFoam
Methodology: SWENSE solution decomposition with implicit relaxation zones
Interface capturing: Implicitly redistanced Level Set derived from Phase Field Equation
Two-phase treatment: Embedded free surface approach with implicit jump conditions
Body Motion: 6 DOF rigid body dynamics equations with quaternion based rotations
Validation and verification: Grid and periodic uncertainty assessment with experimental data comparison (Tokyo 2015 Workshop) - in progress.
Grid size: 1.9 million control volumes
Time step: 0.004 s, 225 time steps per encounter period
CPU time: 35 minutes per encounter period on 56 cores: Intel Xeon E5-2637 @ 3.5GHz
