In the last years, the employment of RANS codes for a wide range of naval architecture problems is grown, since this methodology is capable of reproducing physical behaviors that are generally neglected by other models. The paper presents the results of a set of numerical tests performed employing this methodology with the aim of verifying its capability in the solution of seakeeping problem. Several condition are analyzed varying the frequency of the incident wave and its amplitude, in order to catch nonlinear effects. The results are compared with the ones achieved by a weakly nonlinear procedure based on potential theory.

Abstract
In the last years, the employment of RANS codes for a wide range of naval architecture problems is grown, since this methodology is capable of reproducing physical behaviors that are generally neglected by other models. The paper presents the results of a set of numerical tests performed employing this methodology with the aim of verifying its capability in the solution of seakeeping problem. Several condition are analyzed varying the frequency of the incident wave and its amplitude, in order to catch nonlinear effects. The results are compared with the ones achieved by a weakly nonlinear procedure based on potential theory.
