AQWA Diffraction Analysis

How this report works

This page renders live from the public, de-identified Hugging Face dataset aceengineer/digitalmodel-diffraction-rao via the datasets-server API — no result values are baked into the page. Vessels are referenced only by de-identified vessel_db IDs. Select a different published series with URL parameters: ?vessel=<vessel_id>&damping=<zeta_pct>.

Data contract & provenance

What this analysis is

Potential-flow diffraction analysis in ANSYS AQWA: the vessel's six-degree-of-freedom motion response amplitude operators (RAOs) across wave frequency and heading. Results are screening-grade — faithful to the solver, de-identified at hull-class level, and not a class-approved design basis. Key results below are computed in-browser from the fetched rows.

Model and analysis basis

The basis below is auto-detected from the fetched rows; solver attribution and modelling notes follow the dataset card.

Six-DOF RAO summary

Per-DOF response

Amplitude vs wave period, one trace per heading. Headings 0/45/90/135/180° are shown by default — click legend entries to toggle others. Phase plots are collapsed beneath each DOF.

Interpretation notes

• Damping treatment matters for roll: a series with ζ = 0 % carries no external/viscous roll damping — its roll-resonance peak is an undamped potential-flow upper bound, not an operability prediction. Apply an external roll damping model before operational use.
• Frequency-band scope: some series are published on a focused band (e.g. refined around the roll-response band); absence of rows outside the band is by scope, not omission.
• Reliability flags travel with the data: rows flagged non-ok should be excluded from downstream use; definitions are on the dataset card.
• See the dataset card for per-vessel data-quality notes and withheld tables.
