Design and Analysis of a Ship Hull
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Mechanical Engineering
Abstract
The objective of the present thesis is to study the structural behavior of a ship hull structures subjected to bending, shearing and torsion by using finite element solutions. And one of the most active fields of ship hydrodynamics research today is the development of methods for computing the drag coefficient of the steady, free-surface, viscous flow around a ship hull. Experimental tests are often used as a reliable method for the prediction of ship performance. Nowadays, with the development of new numerical tools, advancements in computer technology and improved data processing capabilities, Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has made remarkable progress. This has allowed ship designers to create a computer-generated model of a ship and check its performance, at various speeds, in a simulated environment, for subsequent optimization processing. The results from the CFD simulations are necessary to understand the complicated flow characteristics for an optimal hull design and to establish low drag and high propulsive efficiency. This allows the designers to predict if the total resistance of the ship is at an acceptable level. This project describes a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Analysis of a ship hull design
