Numerical Simulation Flow Around the Containership by using CFD Method

Abstract

Predict accurately resistance of the ship and flow around ship hull form is extremely important as these are input parameters for optimizing ship hull form, designing the ship propulsion system. This paper focuses on the numerical simulation of the flow around the Container Ship Fortune Freighter in calm water condition at different ship speeds by using CFD method. The results of impact of ship speed on components of ship resistance, wave patterns, volume fraction of air, the distribution of pressure, and wall shear stress on the ship's hull surface, as well as the nominal wake field are provided and analysed in this paper.
