Abstract
This paper is devoted to the assessment of ship maneuvering simulation using different propeller models with the focus on a simplified propeller model that represents the action of the propeller by body force and uses propeller performance curve to determine propeller loading during ship maneuvering. Simulations are also performed with an actual propeller approach with which the propeller rotation is simulated directly with the Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes equation (RANSE) solver. Both time accurate simulations using sliding grid and rotating frame approximations have been performed for comparison. The zigzag and turning circle maneuvers in calm water have been simulated for two different ship models, namely the ONR tumblehome (ONRT) test case and the KRISO (Korea Research Institute of Ship and Ocean) Container Ship (KCS) test case. Predicted ship motion is compared with measurement data to assess the accuracy of the numerical prediction using RANSE computations with different propeller models.
