Abstract

There are various hull types on the mid-size superyachts around <TEX>$30\;{\sim}\;45m$</TEX>. In any case, it is important to design the proper hull shape in viewpoint of the reduction of wave resistance, because small vessels such as superyachts are running at relatively higher Froude Number than other merchant ships. FLUENT with a VOF option was employed to investigate the flow fields around the superyachts having three-typical hull types: U-, V-types and catamaran. Overall performances including free surface flow were compared to figure out hydrodynamic characteristics of superyachy by numerical simulation.
