Based on Computational Fluid Dynamics, ship's righting arms of different heeling angles were calculated to study ship's stability loss in following sea. First, based on the wave-generation method of defining inlet boundary conditions, the numerical wave tank was constructed for ship's movement in surf-riding. Second, one slender ship's flow filed in calm water was numerically simulated, and the righting arms of different heeling angles were calculated. Third, the slender ship was set to navigate in surf-riding with wave crest at the midship section, and the flow field was simulated to get the righting arms of different heeling angles. The simulation results indicate that the righting arm in calm water show good agreement with experiment data; the stability loss is more serious when the wave amplitude is bigger; and ship wave's effect cannot be neglected in calculating ship's stability loss in surf-riding when ship speed is high.
