[ 1 ] - Evaluation of Moonpool Effects on Hydrodynamic Resistance of a Supply Vessel, Using Experimental and Numerical Methods

Moonpool is an opening in the floor or base of a hull ship which can be used to lower tools and vehicles into the sea in a protected area. In this paper, the effect of a rectangular cross section moonpool on the resistance force of a supply vessel was investigated both by experimental and numerical methods. For both methods a 1:37.2 scale of Caspian3 surface vessel was used. Experiments were ca...
