Numerical Investigation of the Scale Effect on the Flow around the Ship by using RANSE Method

Abstract

The paper deals with the numerical simulation results of scale effect on flow field around ship by using RANSE method. The differences in resistance coefficient components and flow around the ship such as wave pattern on free surface, wave profile along the hull of the ship, dynamic pressure and wall shear stress distributions on the surface of the ship and nominal wake field between the model and full-scale ship are provided and analysed in this paper. The obtained numerical simulation results are compared with the measured data in order to verify and validate simulation results.
