The reliable prediction of the seakeeping behavior of ships in real seas is a demanding task for naval architects and of great interest to ship owners/operators, as it affects both the design and operation of ships. In this work, a set of methods, namely, a time domain transient Green function solver, alternatively a time domain hybrid solver for zero speed problems and the adopted hybrid solver for nonzero forward speed problem, are developed to study the seakeeping behavior of ships and floating structures in waves. Validation cases cover both simple mathematical geometries and practical...
