The sloshing tank is modeled with ComFLOW 2D 1-phase simulations (1 cell in longitudinal direction) Simulations on model scale 400 seconds irregular beam waves to determine roll RAO Hs=0.06 m Tp=1.6 s

Conclusions
Coupling between ComFLOW and ship motion code (aNySIM) is working well Reasonable results Molin dataset with linear diffraction method Good results Molin dataset with ComFLOW/aNySIM method ComFLOW library with interfaces will be made available in the first deliverable of ComFLOW-3, so users can couple it to their own simulation programs
