CFD-Based Calculation of Regular Transverse Wave Force in the Maneuvering Mathematical Modeling Group (MMG) Model

Abstract:

The accuracy of mathematical model has a great effect on the prediction of ships maneuverability. Wave disturbing force is an important element of the Maneuvering Mathematical Modeling Group (MMG). Building regression formula of wave disturbing force acting on the ship hull can not only increase ship mathematical models accuracy but also help to predict ships maneuverability. The wave force can be calculated by the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method, which is more accurate and economical. The 3D model of M/V YUKUN was established and the cut-cell mesh was made. A numerical wave tank was developed in this work, based on the FLUENT software. The calculation results were obtained with different height, length, and period of waves. After analyzing the calculated data obtained by the CFD simulation, a regression formula was built about the above parameters. Finally, after comparing the regression formula and tradition wave force model based on the slender body theory, it can be concluded that the regular transverse wave force regression formula of the YUKUN is valid and better to make simulation for the prediction on ships maneuverability.
