Abstract

Numerical simulation of a full-scale ship model, KVLCC2, has been conducted applying the Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach using the STARCCM+ commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to calculate total resistance, seakeeping and Pitch Moments. Results are obtained for the speed of 15.5 Knots under different sea conditions (calm water, regular waves and irregular waves), The total resistance calculated for the KVLCC2 ship hull in calm water is in a good agreement with the results from experiments and the results for motion (heave and pitch) and added resistance in waves were compared to numerical and experimental findings from previous research with good agreement. In addition to wave excitations, the full-scale ship model was subjected to propeller excitations using the virtual disk model from the CFD software. The body force propeller method, which simplified the full propeller characteristic of the KVLCC2 into a resultant body force, is applied to the virtual disk model. Results are compared with results from the hull-only model. A comparison of the wake results with previous work is also presented.
