Abstract

We present an experimental study on resistance and propulsion characteristics of an inland waterway ship in confined water. Physical experiments of resistance and propulsion with an inland waterway ship were performed. The effects of water depth, separation distance to a vertical wall (bank effects) and forward speed are discussed. The objective of the investigation was to generate benchmark data for validation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) solvers.
