FREE SURFACE FLOW PAST SHIPS IN SHALLOW WATER

摘要

A finite volume method with a multiphase type free surface description is employed to calculate the flow around ships in shallow and restricted channels. The flows at critical and supercritical depth Froude numbers (Fn{sub}d=1.0 and Fn{sub}d=1.18) are calculated for Series - 60 monohull and a medium speed catamaran. A steady state solution for Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with a k-ε turbulence model is obtained by time marching. Computed wave profiles are in good agreement with model tests in the near field of the ship. The computed and measured resistance agree fairly well.
