Abstract
In this paper, we describe on the results of our investigation of a stern flow field around a ship in oblique towing motion. The purpose of this inveitigation is to get basic data available for developing, improving and verifying an estimation method of hydrodynamic forces acting on a ship in manoeuvring motion. Kinds of experiments which we carried out on three VLCC model ships are measurements of flow field by 5 hole Pitot tube, observation of flow field by tuft and measurements of hydrodynamic forces acting on a model ship. By these experiments, we investigated characteristics of flow field around a ship in oblique towing motion, and discussed relation between stern shape, flow field and hydrodynamic forces.
