DEVELOPMENT OF SIMULATION BASED DESIGN FOR SHIP HYDRODYNAMICS AND FLUID ENGINEERING

摘要

The next generation of ships will be developed on the basis of innovative new concepts, in order to achieve specific performance objectives for each operation profile of the ship. Since it will be prohibitively expensive to quickly expand the design database through model studies, there is strong motivation to develop simulation-based design (SBD) system. Present paper describes research at Osaka Prefecture University in primary components of SBD for ship hydrodynamics and fluid engineering. Most of cited references concern validation of the methods before transition to industrial design field, through application to geometries and flows which are theoretically and/or experimentally well understood and/or well known test cases in domestic and international research projects. In the following, overviews are given for the authors' work, and finally prognosis for future status will be addressed.
