Abstract:

This article describes a 3D CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation implementation of the stepped planning hull in calm water. The turbulent free surface flow around the stepped planing hull is computed with a RANSE method, using the solver ANSYS-CFX. The turbulence model used is standard k–ε. In order to simulate the disturbed free surface, VOF model is implemented. The CFD model has been firstly validated using the available experimental data. The numerical results of drag, pressure distribution, wetted surface, water spray, wake profile and wave generated by the planing hull are presented and discussed at various speeds. Wake profiles calculated from present model are also compared with the ones calculated from Savitsky’s emprical equations at different speeds.

Numerical Hydrodynamic Performance of the Stepped Planing Craft and Its Step Height Effect (RESEARCH NOTE)

One of the most efficient methods of reducing drag on planing craft is the use of transverse step on the bottom of a hull. Applying steps on the hull reduces the contact area with water and as a result, it reduces drag of the craft. Planing craft are able to have one or two transverse steps. In this paper, numerical hydrodynamic performance of the stepped planing craft and its step height effec...

Hull-form optimization in calm and rough water

The paper presents a formal methodology for the hull form optimization in calm and rough water using wash waves and selected dynamic responses, respectively. Parametric hull form modeling is used to generate the variant hull forms with some of the form parameters modified, which are evaluated in the optimization scheme based on evolutionary strategies. Rankine-source panel method and strip theo...

مطالعه عددی اثرات تغییر ارتفاع و موقعیت طولی پله، در یک ورق پروازی

For most vessels, the frictional resistance of the hull in the water has the largest share in the total resistance of the ship, so in the past few decades much research have been done on reducing the frictional resistance of ships. Among these, stepped vessels with a significant reduction in the amount of wetted surface have a special place. In this study, the effect of a single transverse-step...

Development of a Forced Roll Mechanism for Planing Hull Models

A Forced Roll Mechanism was designed and built at the Hydromechanics Laboratory at the United States Naval Academy. The FRM was designed as a dynamometer that forces a planing hull model in roll and measures the resulting roll moment as well as the heave and sway forces. The model is fully restrained in all six degrees of freedom. The dynamometer can be configured to either oscillate the model ...

Numerical simulation of hull and propeller interaction in acceleration maneuver

Prediction of a ship’s trajectory during a maneuvering motion is so important. In this study, the acceleration maneuver for a twin-screw vessel is directly investigated using computational fluid dynamic (CFD) environment and unsteady RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) solver. For this purpose, the self-propulsion and acceleration simulations with hull and propeller interaction for the well-...
