Islam, H. and Guedes Soares, C. (2021), “Predicting head wave resistance for a KVLCC2 model using OpenFOAM”, Developments in Maritime Technology and Engineering, Guedes Soares, C. & Santos T.A., (Eds.), Taylor and Francis, London, UK, Vol 2, pp. 385-394.
The paper discusses calm water and added resistance simulation of a tanker ship model using OpenFOAM. Initially, calm water simulations are performed for a KVLCC2 model, for varying Froude numbers, with heave and pitch free motion, after verification and validation study. The uncertainty estimation for the verification study is discussed extensively, including studies with multiple uncertainty estimation methods. The target of the uncertainty study is to provide a relative comparison among the popular uncertainty estimation methods used in CFD simulations and also discuss their advantages and limitations. Next, head wave simulations are attempted with heave and pitch free motion, and the results are compared with experimental data. The paper comments on the findings from the uncertainty study and conclude that the OpenFOAM solver is well capable of predicting ship resistance in sea conditions.
