On behalf of the organisers Iam glad to welcome you to the Third final International Conference "300 Years of Russian Fleet".
We are assembled here in the city founded by the distinguished reformer of Russia, creator of the Russian Fleet Peter the Great in the year of the glori-ous jubilee.
Peter's timo witnessed remarkabió achievements, brilliant military victo-ries, promoted the national self-consciousness enforcement and Russia entering
the European community.
History of the Russian Fleet is versatile and instructive. It ¡s filled with examples of courage and heroism of theseamen, talent and high: skill of ship-builders, scientists and inventors.
The present stage of development .of Russia and its fleet in particulär has much in common with the Peter's epoch. Following the traditions of the great reformer, we arrived to this forum to underline again our aim. at co-operation, good will and consolidation of efforts in development of science and practico of shipbuilding and operatión.
I wish all the participants fruitful discussions and contacts, good
un-pressions of staying in St. Petersburg.

Abstract
For several years numerical, methods have been available -(or
evaluating the wave diffraction load& on targe volume fixed or floating
offshore structures such as storage tanks, gravity and
sezuisubmersibicplatforms, etc. These techniques have been further extended
in order that
mean and slowly varying wave drift responses might be assessed In thecase
when the geometry of the body
is complex, interaction effects betweenbodies become important
In this paper one of thé versión's of the pro'añi'DELFRAC
formultibodies which is based on- the three-dimensional potential theory is
investigated. In ordér to solve theproblern use is máde of discrètisation of 'a boundary integral equation on. the submerged surface of the body by means of-using of a source distribution.. The boundary intégral procedùre is based on an assumed constant distribution of the source strength over each pene! into which the surface is divided. ::
For such solutioñ a;great number of panels are required, especially
because of several- bodies"i teractions. As an éxample of such an interaction effect two structures which àre floating in waves in each other's vicinity have been selected.
Professor, Prof., Dr. ir. Associate Prof., Ph.D.
The hydrodynamic coefficients of eaéh body and hydrodvnarnic interaction coefficients are calcúlated for several configurations of bodies. Results are obtained fór. two closely spaced floating bodies free to move independently. The dimensions of bodies are similar. Comparisons with experimental and
theoretical results of other authors are discussed. Some conclusions about
the use oía 3D diffraction metho.d and especially the version of DELFRAC program. for multibodies are given.
Computation times strongly depend on the number of bodies. For the
case of a single body (cylinder or box with approximately the same total
number of panels ) the calculation of forces and motions including drift
forces takes lO minutes
per frequency and per body. For the case of
calculations of two bodies' interaction the time increase to one hour. If it is
not necessary to calculate the drift forces using the pressüre integration
method the time of calculation can be decreasedto 20 minutes per frequency.
i Introduction
In ofThhore industry the use of several structures, floating in each other's
vicinity, is a rather common practice. In such case the behaviour of each of
these structures is influenced, besides possible restraints due to mooring connections, by hydrodynamic interaction effects due to the neighbouring
structure.
The above problem has been discussed bya number of authors. First of them is Q. van Oortmerssen j I Ji, whom the method of cálculation of first order
quantitlà was developed on a base of 3D technique. R.E. Taylor
and J.Zietsman 2 J have proposed the method of interaction analysis which as based on combining a finite élement idéalisation of the fluid region close to a
body with a boundary Integral representation of the far field behaviour
They have highlighted that such a method can be selected as an economical numerkal techmque Further development of this problem has been made by
D.M. Ferreira and C.-HLee [ 4 1. They have represented the effective
method of the calculation of drift forces on two independent close bodies
Lastly a method to obtain the solution of the
equations in the unknown source strengths has been worked out by LA, Puikster [6] This method asbased on successive approximation of source strengths
Nowadays the first problem is to improve the existing methods and to do its faster and niore effective. The second problém is to Obtain more data for a verification of results of computattoils and to analyse data obtained
In order to solve the last problem the present investigation has been carried out. Next aim of our investigations is to show that 3-D diffraction methods generally can be applied to such cases and for instance, the computer code DELMULTI j suitable for suchinvestigations.

by a long crested regular wave. The flúid is assumed to be ideal and
irrotational.
Use is made of a rectangular Cartesian
coordinate system The orIn of
the coordinate system is located on the free surface of the fluid The z - axis is vertical and positive upward The oscillating body motions are describedin local coordinate systems of each body Each local system is connected
with the centre of gravity

From this table il can be seen that the mesh refinements for the two bodies
are satisfactory. Even for the highést frequéncy the number of panels per
wave length is sufficient in order to calculate the first order loads and
motions in accordance with existing practice
However, for accurate
calculation of second order loads these numbers of panels for the highest
frequency are not enough. For. this case. smaller paiaels are preferable.

52 Calculation Conditions
In our numerical investigation we obtained results for regular waves. In this case, the amplitude of wave is! m. The circular frequenciesof oscillation of the incident waves are varied from 0 05 to 0 75 rad/sec corresponding
to wave periods of 125.6 to 8.373 seconds. This raüge corresponds to the
range offrequenciesapplied by van Oortmerssen[ .
The calculations were carried out for one wave direction- 180 degree All of results were obtainedfora..water.depth.of 220 meters and forone
draft of 30 meters. .

5.4 Discussions of the Results
We obtained the results f. calculations using the multibody version of DELFRAC which was created at the Deift Unwersity of Technology This program .DELMULTI is based on the.Sohition of a 3D diffraction problem
and takes into account interaction effects. This can be made by using thò
velocity potential which. consists the contributions from allmodes. of motion of both bodies and from the incident and diffracted wave fields.
As the first step of the investigations we obtained the hydrodynamic
forces on two bodies separately using the main 3D diffraction program
(see
description of this program ref. j 3]). These results were comparedwith theresults of van Oortmerssen obtained by using the 3D
diffraction code466

developed in MARIN. The good correlation between the results for single and rather simple bodies has been obtained with the using of the different 3D codes even for the cases in which different number of panels have been used. The last can be seen from the table 4.

In fig. 3 through fig.
LO the results are given of calculationsof

the smallest separation distance between them, where the

are more significant
Agreement between the results
of
DELFRAC and f van Oortmerssen. is found tobe generally very good for
all coefficients.
On the same graphs the results for the single bodies áre a1s9 shown. By
comparing the graphs, it. can be seen that th interaction effects are more
important for the horizontal mode than for the vertical mode and also for
the ràther high frequénòies. In our calculated case the coefficients diverge
above the non-dimensional wave frequency w' > I . No effects due to the
presence of the neighbouring structure are observed at the lower range of
frequencies. 1.0

From the calculations presented in figures 11 throúgh 14 it can be seen
that the hydrodynamic interaction coefficients really have the symmetry
relationships. These coefficients depend strongly on the presence of the moving neighbouring structure over a wide range of fréquencies, especially the coefficients dq which are not equal to zero at all frequencies calculated. Following van Oortmerssen [1], it can be concluded.that,. where the effect of
the neighbouring structure on the added mass and damping diappears at
very low frequencies, this is not the case for th interaction forces. Even at
low frequencies, a structure will experience hydrodynamic forces as a result
of the motions of a nearby floating structure. These forces appear to be in
phase with the motion of the neighbour, since for frequencies approaching
zero the coefficients
tend to zero. For the
case of hydrodynamicinteraction forces the correlation between calculated and measured values
are reasonable.
For the second and third
configurations of the bodies the
sameCOnC1USÎOS can be drawn as in the previous case. A significant influence of
interaction efTects is observed for the horizontal hydrodynamic coefficients and no influenceon the vertical hydrodynamic coefficients
The influence of the distance between two interacted bodies can be seen
from figures 15 - 16. As expected, the interaction forces decrease with
increasing distance between the two bodies. For this distance which is 8.425
times to compare the draft of bodies, the interaction still exists however. Of
course, it is interesting to continue the calculations in order.to obtain the
results for other bodies'
configuration. However, the computing costincreases significantly.
The last part of
our investigations is related to the calculation ofdriftforces which were obtained forseveral cases of wave heading - 180, 225 and 270 degrees. In order 'to illustrate the influence ofthe wave heading on the horizontal drift forces thegraph 17 is shown.

are shown in the same figures as well as experimental points of van
Oortnierssen. On comparing the. cunes good agreement was found between
the theoretical results of Ferreira and Lee and those obtained using the
program DELMULTI.
In summary, it can be concluded that the using of 3D methods for the
calculation of first order and mean second order forces in the interaction
case can give quite satisfied results.
Computation urnes strongly depend on the number of bodies. For the case of a singIe body (cylrnder or box with approximately the same total number of panels ) the calculation of forces and motions including drift
forces takes 10 minutes per frequency and per body. For the case of
calculations of two bodies' interaction the time increase to one hour. 1f il is

method the lime of calculation can be decreased
to 20 mInutes per

6 Conclusions
The main COnClUSIOnS from.our numerical. investigations are as follows:
hnear 3D. diffraction
theory is suitable to predict h.ydrodynamlcinteraction effects betweeñ floating bodies;
the comparisons of computed and measured. values Of hydrodynamic
coefficients of the bodies and hydrodynamic intèraction coeffiòients are
quite good;
the computed results
obtained using the multibody versionof
DELFRAC correlate well with the results of Other authors
the biggest interaction effects are observed at rather high frepiencies and can be significant. When two structures have the same size and similar motions amplitudes, it appears that. the hydrodynamic forces due to the motions of the neighbour, can be Of the same order Of magnitude as the forces, induced by the body's own motions.;
in literature only few results it can be found of 3D calculation of drift
forces acting on two or more bodies, especially when bodies have an
arbitrary or ship shape. In order to havà moré experimental
data for a
testing of existing computer codes the investigations have tO be
continued. However, some conclusions about. drift forces can be made from our analysis.
