heal.abstract	The paper focuses on the flow calculations concerning the hull of an LNG floating terminal, equipped with large horizontal skirts at keel level. A method for viscous flow calculations around transverse sections is presented, the hull being subjected to forced heave and roll motions as well as to corresponding decay tests. The prediction of the hydrodynamic loads is based on CFD solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations by the finite volume approach, neglecting in a first approximation the influence of turbulence modeling. In order to solve the pertinent free-surface problem the method considers only the liquid phase and employs moving grids which fit exactly the free surface geometry.
