Conclusions• A numerical scheme for solving the unsteady Navier-Stokes
equations has been developed and validated with experiments and other numerical results.
• The method was applied in the case of an FPSO hull undergoing roll motions. The effects of the bilge keels and of the free surface (linear) were also taken into account.
• The effect of different angles of bilge keels has been studied The trend was found to be similar to the Na 2002 experiments and the Yeung 2003 numerical results (the geometry is not exactly the same though).

Future Work• More convergence studies have to be performed, especially
sensitivity studies in terms of grid, time step, and domain size for different Froude numbers.
• Apply method for larger amplitudes of roll motion and compare with experiments and other numerical results.
• Use the same geometry as that in the experiments in the case of vertical or horizontal bilge keels.
• Consider the non-linear free surface effects (see Part II)
• Extend the model in 3-D and compare with experiments and other numerical results.
