CALCULATED POWER FOR A HIGH SPEED SHIP BY USING CFD

Abstract

In this paper, author presents a study on calculating power energy for a high speed ship by theoretical calculations and Computation of Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Calculation of ship power follows as hull shape and service speed is also important for the ship design. It is an important basis thoery to choise a main mechine for the ship. From the computed results given by CFD, the components of ship resistances acting on the ship as water resistances, air resistances are computed. From total resistances acting on the ship, a required power needed for the ship is investigated. This is a basis theory to choise or design the main mechine for the designed ship.
