A Perspective on Naval Hydrodynamic Flow Simulations1
نویسندگان
چکیده
A perspective of computational hydrodynamics is presented that is considered relevant to particular Naval hydrodynamic problems. This is not intended as a survey of the field in general; rather, it is a summary of the ongoing research and development of computational tools in the Computational Fluid Dynamics Lab at Mississippi State University. A discussion is given of the enabling technologies on which most of the computational tools are based. Example results are presented for submarines, surface ships, and propulsors, that attempt to illustrate the current status of certain Naval hydrodynamic computational capabilities. Some observations and comments are offered relating to various needs and possible directions of future computational hydrodynamic research and development.

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...

متن کاملThe effects of corrosion and fouling on the performance of ocean-going vessels: a naval architectural perspective
The primary role of antifouling precautions on ship hulls is to avoid the tremendous increase in drag resistance caused by the settlement of fouling species. In this chapter, basic hydrodynamic concepts needed to fully understand the effect of fouling species on the propulsion requirements of a ship will be introduced. Subsequently, studies on the drag resistance associated with various coating...
متن کاملNumerical simulation of flow hydrodynamic around dolphin body in viscous fluid
The biomimetic and hydrodynamic study of aquatic animals is one of the most challenging computational fluid dynamics topics in recent studies due to the complexity of body geometry and the type of flow field. The movement of the aquatic body, and particularly the tail section and the corresponding movement of fluid around the body, causes an unsteady flow and requires a comprehensive study of t...
متن کاملAnalysis of Flow Pattern with Low Reynolds Number around Different Shapes of Bridge Piers, and Determination of Hydrodynamic Forces, using Open Foam Software
In many cases, a set of obstacles, such as bridge piers and abutments, are located in the river waterway. Bridge piers disrupt river’s normal flow, and the created turbulence and disturbance causes diversion of flow lines and creates rotational flow. Geometric shape and position of the piers with respect to flow direction and also number of piers and their spacing are effective on changing the ...
