Calculation of Regular Longitudinal Wave Force in MMG Model Based on CFD
Wave force is one of the most important environmental disturbing forces in ship motion mathematical model. Calculating the wave force in ship mathematical model is of a great importance about prediction of ships maneuverability. In order to calculate the longitudinal wave force in MMG ship motion mathematical model, the CFD method was used in this work to build numerical wave flume. The 3D model of M/V YUKUN and hexahedral mesh of the domain of the flow field were made. Software Fluent was used to simulate the motion of YUKUN in regular longitudinal waves, and the wave force acting on YUKUN was obtained. Finally, regression formula was built based on the simulation results.
