Abstract:
Reducing the fuel consumption of ships presents both economic and environmental gains. Although in the past decades, extensive studies were carried out on the flow around ship hull, it is still difficult to calculate the flow around the hull while considering propeller interaction. In this paper, the viscous flow around modern ship hulls is computed considering propeller action. In this analysis, the numerical investigation of flow around the ship is combined with propeller theory to simulate the hull-propeller interaction. Various longitudinal positions of the rudder are also analyzed to determine the effect of rudder position on propeller efficiency. First, a numerical study was performed around a bare hull using Shipflow computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code to determine free-surface wave elevation and resistance components. A zonal approach was applied to successively incorporate "potential flow solver" in the region outside the boundary layer and wake, "boundary layer solver" in the thin boundary layer region near the ship hull, and "Navier-Stokes solver" in the wake region. Propeller open water characteristics were determined using an open-source MATLAB code OpenProp, which is based on the lifting line theory, for the moderately loaded propeller. The obtained open water test results were specified in the flow module of Shipflow for self-propulsion tests. The velocity field behind the ship was recalculated into an effective wake and given to the propeller code that calculates the propeller load. Once the load was known, it was transferred to the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver to simulate the propeller action. The interaction between the hull and propeller with different rudder positions was then predicted to improve the propulsive efficiency.
