Hydrodynamics of wind-assisted ship propulsion validation of RANS-CFD methodology

A Reynolds-Averaged Navier Stokes computational fluid dynamics (RANS-CFD) package will be one of the primary tools used during the development of a performance prediction program for Wind-Assisted commercial ships. The modelling challenge presented by large separated flow structures in the wake of the sailing ship points to a conscientious...

Experimental and numerical investigation on the heel and drift induced hydrodynamical loads of a high speed craft

In order to provide an insight into the manoeuvring of high speed crafts, an experimental study was undertaken at the towing tank of Delft University of Technology, using a rescue vessel of the Royal Netherlands Sea Rescue Institution (KNRM).<br/>

The results of the Delft Systematic Deadrise Series

In the present paper the development of the Delft Systematic Deadrise Series (DSDS) is described. The DSDS has been under development for decades by now and consists of a large family of systematically varied hard chine planing monohulls, based on the original research by Clement and Blount, which have all been tested in the same speed range,...
