Numerical Assessment of Appended Hull Resistance of a RoPax Ship

The article presents resistance assessment of a hull with appendages for a built RoPax ship. The Finite- Volume Method solver was used for numerical prediction. The solver is based on Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations and the Volume of Fluid scheme for the free surface capturing. The resistance of the hull with appendages was calculated for a various ship speed to obtain resistance curve in calm water. Three grids sizes were used for RoPax ship in order to assess the grid refinement sensitivity. Numer- ical results were compared to available experimental data for a considered RoPax ship. Used CFD solver is capable to deliver results very close to experiments using relatively small computing power.
