Abstract
The study provides a numerical investigation of the ship hull performance for the Japan Bulk Carrier (JBC hereafter). The study includes computations for the ship resistance, trim and sinkage, free-surface elevation and wake flow for both, the bare hull and for the ship equipped with an energy saving device. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficiency and accuracy of the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD hereafter) technique as an effective and reliable tool to predict the ship hull performance in the early design stages and to highlight the effect of using an Energy Saving Device (ESD hereafter) on the reduction of total ship resistance. The computations are performed by using the ISIS-CFD solver of the commercial software FINETM/Marine. The flow solution is obtained by solving numerically the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations in which the turbulence is modelled either by k-ω Shear Stress Transport (SST) or by the EASM models. The validation of the computed solutions is based on various comparisons with the experimental data provided in the Tokyo workshop 2015.
