Abstract
Abstract As a numerical fluid dynamic simulation method, Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) must guarantee the accuracy of the simulation results carried out, where the accuracy of the simulation results depends on: numerical method, grid generation, mesh independence, grid type, turbulence model, etc. This paper explains the influence of turbulence model and time step on the resistance prediction results of the Japan Bulk Carrier (JBC) ships, with CFD simulations using the ANSYS CFX software package. The model is simulated with several turbulence models including: k-Epsilon (k-ε), k-Omega (k-ω) and Shear Stress Transport k-ω (SST k-ω), apart from that the turbulence model is simulated in several time steps. From the results of the CFD modelling carried out, the influence of the turbulence model and time step on the accuracy of predicting ship resistance from the JBC ship was analysed, by comparing the CFD modelling results with experimental results from National Maritime Research Institute (NMRI). In general, the turbulence model and time step influence modelling and mesh selection, the correct time step provides accurate and convergent modelling results.
