Numerical Prediction of Self-Propulsion Point of JBC Ship Model Using RANSE Method

Abstract

The paper deals with numerical simulation results of self-propulsion point of JBC (Japan Bulk Carrier) ship in model scale using RANSE method. The propeller working behind the ship was model by the sliding mesh technique. The volume of fluid method was used for tracking and locating free surface. Some importance factors influence on accuracy of simulation obtained results were discussed in this paper. The obtained numerical results are compared with the experimental data to ensure the reliability of the numerical simulation results.
