Abstract: This paper presents a solution of added resistance of a ship in waves at low speed according to the IMO minimum
propulsion power requirement by a hybrid Taylor Expansion Boundary Element Method (TEBEM). The flow domain is divided into
two parts where the inner domain is solved by first-order TEBEM with simple Green function and the outer domain is solved by zero
order TEBEM with transient free surface Green function. TEBEM is applied to three new designed commercial ships for numerical
prediction of motions and added resistance in waves. The numerical results are compared with those derived from seakeeping model
tests. It shows that the prediction of ship motions and added resistance in waves are in good agreement with experimental results. The
comparison also indicates that the accuracy of motion estimation is crucial for prediction of wave added resistance. In general,
TEBEM is of satisfactory accuracy and efficiency to predict added resistance in waves at low speed according to the IMO minimum
propulsion power requirement.
Key words: TEBEM, added resistance in waves, low speed, minimum propulsion power
