In this study, numerical simulation of the fluid flow by using lattice Boltzmann method is carried out and the vortex-induced motion (VIM) of a cylindrical floating structure is calculated. The way of calculate the fluid flow, fluid force and floating body’s movement is introduced.
The fluid flow with free surface is also calculated. The height change of water surface exerts the effect to the evaluation of hydrostatic pressure and wave resistance. In this study, the method to express the movement of free surface is introduced.
