CFD Study on Propulsion Characteristics of Ships Subjected To Waves

Predicting the propulsion characteristics of ships with conventional propellers is the most fundamental and enduring problem associated with ship hydrodynamics, whether the ship is a newbuild or a retrofit. The problem is becoming increasingly important in the maritime industry and these predictions are particularly difficult when the ship is exposed to real weather conditions, i.e., waves, wind, and currents. The study is carried out using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and focuses on thrust in regular head and oblique waves for a passenger ferry of a double-ended type. Prior to this, a one-dimensional actuator disk (AD) used in this study is validated by a self-propulsion configuration in calm water of a KRISO container ship, a widely used hull model for benchmarking in ship hydrodynamics.
