Abstract
While a barge is operating, there are hydrodynamics forces influencing motion of the barge. To create an autonomous barge, there are some parameters that must be obtained. There are many methods to generate data for these parameters, such as experiment and computational simulation. CFD method is the best way to obtain the parameters. Besides having a high level of accuracy, CFD method doesn-t require expensive cost compared to the experimental method.
