Numerical Prediction Method of Resistance Performance of Catamaran Planing Vessels

Article Preview

Abstract:

The classical approaches using CFD software to calculate the hydrodynamic performance of catamaran planing vessel still need to rely on the model test or empirical formula to make sure of the running attitude. So a theoretical calculate method of resistance performance of catamaran planing vessel is proposed in this paper based on RANS equations and the VOF method to couple six degrees of freedom equation of the catamaran planing vessel. Numerical simulation results indicate that using RANS equations can better forecast hydrodynamic performance of catamaran planing vessel at high speed, which provides a practicable numerical method for optimization design of the catamaran planing vessels hull.
