Numerical Investigation Against Laboratory Experiment: An Overview of Damage and Wind Loads on Structural Design

Abstract

The numerical approach is being used against experimental and solves engineering problems. In the engineering design, the structural and load analysis are a part of an important thing to show the effect of geometrical or the structure design. The main purpose is to review the influence of deckhouse height on the flow around the funnel and aft ship structure. In this review study, the fluid-structure and 3D steady RANS CFD are used to validate the result of simulations. Several aspects of the numerical approach, such as turbulence modeling, boundary conditions, inlet velocity, and pressure outlet to simulate wind load in CFD, ground surface roughness, and quantification of wind loads by computational fluid-structure and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) are summarized. A benchmarking study of the numerical approach against the experiment is emphasized. A comparative study among the numerical prediction on the wind tunnel demonstrated good agreement and satisfaction. Moreover, by numerical approach could handle the accurate results and show how the response to the ship structure that makes the dynamic interaction during wind loads events.
