Abstract:This research addresses the demand for a computationally efficient numerical tool capable of predicting 3-D turbulent flows over 3-D hydrofoils, a critical step in ultimately addressing marine propeller or turbine performance. The related software development and its applications are conducted by employing the vorticity-based approach known as the viscous vorticity equation (VISVE). In particular, an existing 3-D laminar VISVE solver was modified in order to handle 3-D turbulent flow scenarios. The extension i… Show more
