OpenFOAM for marine hydrodynamics CFD

Vuko VUKCEVICInno GATIN

ABSTRACTThis poster presents the capabili-ties of the OpenFOAM’s Naval Hy-dro pack for marine hydrodynamicsCFD simulations developed withinProf. Jasak’s CFD group.

The CFD model is used for accuratesimulations regarding:

Steady resistance with dynamicsinkage and trim,Seakeeping in head and oblique,regular and irregular sea states,Self propulsion with modelled anddiscretised propellers,Manoeuvring:– Turning circle,– Zig–zag tests,– Crabbing.

Versatile, robust and efficient simu-lations are enabled with:

Ghost–Fluid–Method: accuratetreatment of discontinuities at thefree surface,Interface capturing: Volume–of–Fluid or Level Set Method,Solution decomposition: calculat-ing perturbation around potentialflow solution,Domain decomposition: prevent-ing wave reflection,Semi–monolithic approach: im-plicitly coupled pressure equationand rigid body equations.

Steady resistance simulations

Rapid steady resistance simulations areroutinely performed to aid the design ofships in order to minimize fuel consumption.Image presents wave elevation for threedifferent bow shapes, where the resultshave been obtained within twelve hours,including meshing, case set–up, simulationsand post processing.

Seakeeping simulations

Fully non–linear CFD seakeeping simu-lations are becoming increasingly utilisedbecause of their ability to accurately cal-culate added resistance of ship in waves.Reliable estimate of transfer function canbe obtained within few days using a modestHPC workstation (64 CPUs).

Oblique wave simulations with roll motionand forward speed do not represent a diffi-culty as opposed to potential flow methods.

Full scale self–propulsion

One of the main benefits of CFD is its abilityto calculate full scale flows without the needfor error prone extrapolation of results. TheNaval Hydro pack has been recently usedto calculate the self–propulsion point for a138 meters long general cargo carrier withconstant propeller revolution rate.
