Three methods are described to simulate motions of planing boats in waves. One is based on Wagner’s theory of hydrodynamic impacts, the others use the RANSE solver Comet, applying different concepts to adapt the computational grid to the boat motions. Comparisons with published experiments are used for validation and to demonstrate the difficulties of both experiments and simulations in evaluating the highly nonlinear responses in case of very high speed (Froude number ≈ 4).
