1 INTRODUCTION
WaReS is a code developed by Marine Analytica to calculate wave-induced loads and responses in floating structures. This memo presents an extract of the verification report prepared for the future use of WaReS in commercial projects. Responses in irregular sea states and RAO are compared with the results published in [MA.1] for a typical 300 ft North Sea barge. The RAO and responses presented in [MA.1] have been calculated with the 3D diffraction package WADAM. WaReS results show good agreement over the range of wave frequencies analysed.
2 WARES DESCRIPTION
WaReS stands for Wave Responses and are set of tools to perform hydrodynamic analysis in the linear frequency domain. The input for WaReS is a mesh describing the wet surface of the body, the mass and hydrostatic properties and the environmental data. The radiation and diffraction coefficients such as added mass, radiation damping and wave exciting loads are computed with the 3D radiation-diffraction code Nemoh. This code is an open source potential flow BEM solver developed at Ecole Centrale de Nantes see ref. [MA.2]. The motions of the floating body in regular waves are modelled as a linear mass-damping-spring system with frequency dependent coefficients and linear exciting wave forces/moments.

The global RAO’s at the centre of rotation of the body are calculated by solving the equation of motion in the frequency domain for every degree of freedom.

[−𝜔2(𝑚𝑖𝑗 + 𝑎𝑖𝑗) + 𝑖𝜔𝑏𝑖𝑗 + 𝑐𝑖𝑗]
Assuming small responses and a rigid body, the transfer functions at any arbitrary point (P) are calculated as indicated in the equations below. The gravity horizontal components are incorporated in this analysis.

𝐺 (𝜔, 𝜃) WaReS uses a potential non-viscous flow to calculate the hydrodynamic coefficients. For most of the DOF’s damping is predominantly linear and well captured by radiation- diffraction codes. However, in some cases like roll motions in mono-hulls the responses are dominated by viscous terms and therefore not well predicted by the potential flow. To consider non-linear damping in the linear frequency domain WaReS applies the stochastic linearization technique. This method considers the characteristics of an incoming wave spectrum and computes an equivalent amount of linear damping per sea-state. Multiple roll damping prediction methods are incorporated in WaReS Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the influence of the Hs, Tp and wave direction on the amount of roll damping applied to the 300ft barge.

The floating body responses in irregular waves are calculated by combining the RAO’s with wave spectra for a set of wave directions, significant wave heights and wave periods.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 show the impact of the wave height, period and direction on the amount of linearized roll damping applied to the system. As can be seen the largest amount of damping is obtained in beam seas for wave periods close to the barge roll natural period (T44 = 6.5 s). The linearized damping also increases with the design wave height (larger roll responses).

For comparison purposes the responses presented in this report are 3h single amplitudes Most Probable Maximum (MPM). This correspond to a return period of 1/N, where N are the number of oscillations during the considered period (3 hours).

2.3 Barge reference system
The global coordinate system of the barge is defined as follows, see Figure 3.
• X-axis (from APP) in longitudinal vessel direction pointing forward
• Y-axis (from CL) in transverse vessel direction pointing portside
• Z-axis (from BL) in vertical direction pointing upwards

3 ANALYSIS DESCRIPTION
The verification is performed for a free floating 300ft North Sea barge with a module on 1000mT on deck as
described in [MA.1]. The main particulars of the barge and the loading condition are presented in Table 2. All the
dimensions are measured from the barge reference system described in Figure 3.
Figure 4 WaReS 300ft North Sea barge hull mesh
The maximum panel size has been defined based on the shortest wavelength to comply with the λ/7 rule. In this
case the maximum mesh size is 2.5 m suitable for wave frequencies between 0.2 rad/s and 1.85 rad/s. A total of
166 wave frequencies have been computed in steps of 0.01 rad/s. The diffraction/radiation analysis has been
performed with the following parameters:

4 RESULTS
The following results were calculated and compared:
• 3h MPM roll motion, with additional roll damping as shown in Figure 5
• 3h MPM maximum accelerations at local points presented in Table 4.No viscous roll damping applied.
• Motion RAOs. No viscous roll damping applied.
Transverse accelerations (see Figure 8) present a consistent trend but a difference in amplitude between 5 and
10%. This can be explained by the different amount of (non-viscous) roll damping computed by the codes (see
peak of roll RAO - Figure 13). Which one is “more correct” can only be judged with model tests.
