THE APPLICATION OF CFD IN SHIP DESIGN
This paper discusses the practical application of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in ship design. CFD can be used to estimate the resistance and self-propulsion factors of the limited ship. However, there are some problems when applying CFD in practical use. Time reduction of grid generation and computation must be made and actual ships must be precisely represented with grid calculation. The paper describes a method of grid generation that represents a hull form correctly, in a short time, by the hull surface data in segment form. Resistance and self-propulsion factors were computed with the double model assumption about VLCC hulls. The results of computation with free surface are also discussed.
