Vertical Motion Simulation Of A DTMB 5415M Ship In Head Sea Using The Variational Multi-scale Method

This master thesis presents the computation of free-surface flow phenomena with emphasis on ship hydromechanics. We perform a simulation of the heave and the pitch motion of the DTMB 5415M ship moving in head sea. To this purpose we employ an existing Arbitrary-Lagrangian-Eulerian residual-based variational multiscale method (ALE-RBVMS) to...

Verification and validation of full-scale propulsion analysis using CFD

An accurate prediction of propeller hull interaction is an important step in the design of a new vessel. The prediction of full-scale flow phenomena, which eliminates scale effects, is becoming available due to increasing computational power. However, the complexity of full-scale CFD calculations combined<br/>with a lack of validation data...
