Computer-based simulation methods and recent advances in high-speed computing, solutions to complex fluid-structure interaction problems, such as transient wave impact on fixed and floating structures, can now be studied in detail. Numerical results, combined with model test measurements for verification, form basis of the concept of the Numerical Test Tank (NTT) concept. The application of computational fluid dynamics methods to the solution of two important ocean engineering problems are presented to illustrate the present methodology, and are then compared to model test results. The method employs a three-dimensional, transient, viscous Navier-Stokes solver based on the FLOW-3D/96 CFD code.
