A Simulative Study on the Effects of Additional Inertia Force Exerting on the Water Dynamic Features of Damaged Vessels

Abstract:

With the aid of “gambit” and Reynolds Stress Transport Equations, the residential cabin model and the turbulence model were established. By observing the effects of additional inertia force exerting on the water dynamic features of damaged vessels under different linear accelerations, the following conclusions could be obtained: (1) the inflow direction through square and round breaks is deviated from the heave, and contrary to the sailing direction; while that derivation of triangle breaks is comparatively smaller, less effected by inertia force (2) within high turbulence intensity areas, square breaks mainly appear in pre-inflow areas, and triangle and round breaks mainly occur in post-inflow areas (3) with the increase of acceleration, the flow coefficient of the three kind of break tends to decline, whereas that trend seems to be less noticeable with triangle breaks (4) under the effect of inertia force, the shrink coefficient of the three types of break incline to drop; the round breaks is less effected while a distinct variance could be observed in the cases of square and triangle shaped breaks.
