Abstract
In this study, the added resistance and seakeeping performance of the KVLCC2 ship is investigated by using the spectral wave explicit Navier-Stokes equations (SWENSE) method. The SWENSE method is based on the decomposition of the total field into an incident part explicitly obtained by the wave potential flow theory and a complementary part solved with a modified Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver. Therefore, the computational efficiency can be achieved by using a relatively coarse mesh in the far field, retaining the accuracy of the incident waves. A parametric study is performed under regular wave conditions with 3Degree of Freedom (DOF) motions of the hull. The results are compared with the large literature available. An additional case is simulated to demonstrate the capability of the present method in simulating seakeeping problems in irregular sea states. Good agreement between the computed results with the reference data can be observed for the hull model, which indicates that the added resistance and seakeeping performances can be well predicted by the present method.
期刊介绍:
Original and Timely technical papers addressing problems of shipyard techniques and production of merchant and naval ships appear in this quarterly publication. Since its inception, the Journal of Ship Production and Design (formerly the Journal of Ship Production) has been a forum for peer-reviewed, professionally edited papers from academic and industry sources. As such, it has influenced the worldwide development of ship production engineering as a fully qualified professional discipline. The expanded scope seeks papers in additional areas, specifically ship design, including design for production, plus other marine technology topics, such as ship operations, shipping economic, and safety. Each issue contains a well-rounded selection of technical papers relevant to marine professionals.
