Abstract
A new computation method that can cope with three dimensional breaking waves in the framework of curvilinear body-fitted coordinate system is developed. The free-surface treatment in this study is based on the marker-density technique developed in the TUMMAC-VIII method, and the algorithm of solving the discretized N-S equation is that of the WISDAM-V method. By simulations with three hull forms, it is demonstrated that this new method can simulate three dimensional breaking waves around the body of arbitrary shape with certain degree of accuracy.
