Abstract

Static drift, pure sway and pure yaw simulation results are determined for a container ship. For simulation, open source RANS solver, OpenFOAM was used. The simulation results were compared with two sets of experimental data. Next, hydrodynamic derivatives were predicted from simulation results and compared with experimental ones. The results show good agreement with experimental data, except for some pure yaw cases. Overall, the paper concludes that OpenFOAM is well capable of estimating hydrodynamic derivatives maintaining reasonable accuracy and computational efficiency.
