Flow Around Ships Sailing in Shallow Water—Experimental and Numerical Results

In this paper the results of the investigation of the flow around the models of two ships in shallow water without propeller, rudder and appendices are presented. The intention is—based on reliable experimental data—to compare computational results from different methods, obtained on different grids, and see how these methods perform. The experimental measurements comprise the velocity field at several stations, the free surface deformation, the hull pressure distribution and (not presented in this contribution) the bottom pressure. Three different computational methods were applied: A standard RANSE-solver on two different grids (one block-structured hexahedral, one unstructured tetrahedral), a RANSE-solver using a fictitious compressibility and thus a flux-difference-splitting technique and a potential theoretic method devised for the transcritical regime (solitons!), where the hull is described merely by its cross-sectional area.
