Zusammenfassung: | Over the past few years much progress has been made in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in its ability to accurately simulate the hydrodynamics associated with a deep-V monohull planing craft. This work has focused on not only predicting the hydrodynamic forces and moments, but also the complex multiphase free-surface flow field generated by a deep-V monohull planing boat at high Froude numbers. One of these state of the art CFD codes is Numerical Flow Analysis (NFA). NFA provides turnkey capabilities to model breaking waves around a ship, including both plunging and spilling breaking waves, the formation of spray, and the entrainment of air. NFA uses a Cartesian-grid formulation with immersed body and volume-of-fluid methods. |
