Computational Fluid Dynamics is used to investigate the global forces and moments acting on the KVLCC2 hull form under going straight line, drift and pure sway planar motion mechanism tests. Simulated results are compared with experimental results for the unappended hull in shallow water and a fully appended hull with a propeller acting at the ship self propulsion point. A body fitted mesh unde...

In this study, experimental and numerical methods were applied to estimate surge sway wave drift forces yaw moment acting on KVLCC2, advancing in oblique wave. An experiment was carried out the ocean engineering basin of Korea Research Institute Ships Ocean Engineering (KRISO). A series regular tests under various heading conditions conducted investigate ship motion responses forces. Rankine pa...

Installing an energy saving device such as a pre-swirl duct (PSD) is major investment for ship owner and prior to order reliable prediction of the savings required. Currently there no standard how be carried out, possible alternatives are both model-scale tests in towing tanks with associated scaling procedures, well methods based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD). This paper summarizes CFD...
