DANSIS meeting Lyngby, 13 May 2009 Application of CFD in connection with ship design • Background • Method • Examples • Summary Claus Daniel Simonsen www.force.dk FORCE Technology Background • When a ship, which consists of hull, propeller and rudder, is designed it is important to obtain an efficient solution for all components working together: The hull form should be optimized to minimize the resistance, which will reduce the engine power required to drive the ship through the water and hereby also the fuel consumption The propulsion system should be optimized to work efficiently in the wake behind the ship, which also will influence the required power and the fuel consumption The rudder should be optimized in order to maneuver the ship safely, but also to improve the efficiency of the propeller • The resistance is highly influenced by the hull design, but the hull designer has to keep in mind that the wake field also should be optimized seen from the propeller designers point of view due to the strong interaction between the hull and propeller flows. Further, the rudder operates in the propeller slipstream Background • Today the most commonly method used for checking combined hull- propeller flows is towing tank/cavitation tunnel testing. However, due to the cost of model testing, the combined hull and propeller designs are checked relatively late in the design process • The idea is to investigate if CFD can be used
