For the more accurate prediction on manoeuvring performance of a ship at initial design phase, bare hull manoeuvring coefficients were estimated by RANS(Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) based virtual captive model tests. Hydrodynamic forces and moment acting on the hull during static drift and harmonic oscillatory motions were computed with a commercial RANS code STAR-CCM+. Automatic and consistent mesh generation could be implemented by using macro functions of the code and user dependency could be greatly reduced. Computed forces and moments on KCS and KVLCC 1&2 were compared with the corresponding measurements from PMM(Planar Motion Mechanism) tests. Quite good agreement can be observed between the CFD and EFD results. Manoeuvring coefficients and IMO standard manoeuvres estimated from the computed data also showed reasonable agreement with those from the experimental data. Based on these results, we could confirm that the developed virtual captive manoeuvring model test process could be applied to evaluate manoeuvrability of a ship at the initial hull design phase.

A submerged body with varied control inputs can execute large drift angles and large angles of attack, as well as basic control such as straight movement and turning. The objective of this study is to analyze the dynamic characteristics of a submerged body comprising six thrusters and six control planes, which is capable of a large drift angle and angle of attack motion. Virtual captive model tests via were analyzed via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to determine the dynamic characteristics of the submerged body. A test matrix of virtual captive model tests specialized for large-angle motion was established. Based on this test matrix, virtual captive model tests were performed with a drift angle and angle of attack of approximately 30° and 90°, respectively. The characteristics of the hydrodynamic force acting on the horizontal and vertical surfaces of the submerged body were analyzed under the large-angle motion condition, and a model representing this hydrodynamic force was established. In addition, maneuvering simulation was performed to evaluate the standard maneuverability and dynamic characteristics of large-angle motion. Considering the shape characteristics of the submerged body, we attempt to verify the feasibility of the analysis results by analyzing the characteristics of the hydrodynamic force when the large-angle motion occurred.

Hydrodynamic derivatives or coefficients are required to predict the maneuvering characteristics of a marine vehicle. These derivatives are obtained numerically for a DTMB 5512 model ship by virtual simulating of captive model tests in a CFD environment. The computed coefficients are applied to predict the turning circle and zig-zag maneuvers of the model ship. The comparison of the simulated results with the available experimental data shows a very good agreement among them. The simulations show that the CFD is precise and affordable tool at the preliminary design stage to obtain maneuverability performance of a marine vehicles.

It is necessary to predict hydrodynamic derivatives when assessing the maneuverability of a submarine. The force and moment acting on the vehicle may affect its motion in various modes. Conventionally, the derivatives are determined by performing captive model tests in a towing tank or applying a system identification method to the free running model test. However, a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method has also become a possible tool to predict the hydrodynamics. In this study, virtual captive model tests for a full-scale submarine were conducted by utilizing a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes solver in ANSYS FLUENT version 18.2. The simulations were carried out at design speed for various modes of motion such as straight forward, drift, angle of attack, deflection of the rudder, circular, and combined motion. The hydrodynamic force and moment acting on the submarine appended rudders and stern stabilizers were then obtained. Finally, hydrodynamic derivatives were determined, and these could be used for evaluating the maneuvering characteristics of the submarine in a further study.

선박이 제한수로를 운항할 때에는 기존 심수 및 천수 중을 운항하는 선박의 조종특성과 일반적으로 다르기 때문에 선박의 안전한 항해를 위해 달라지는 선박의 조종특성 추정이 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 제한수로를 운항하는 선박의 조종성능을 추정하기 위해 조종운동 방정식과 가상 구속모형시험 시뮬레이션을 통한 유체력 미계수를 이용하여 조종성능을 추정하였다. 조종 수학 모델 중 선체, 프로펠러, 타를 분리하여 유체력을 모델링하는 방식인 모듈형(modular type) 모델에 제한수로의 영향을 고려하는 항을 추가하여 제한수로 중 조종성능을 추정 연구를 수행하였다. 제한수로 중 선체에 작용하는 유체력 미계수를 도출하기 위하여 상용 CFD 프로그램을 이용한 가상 구속모형시험 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 최종적으로 제한수로 중 직진 시뮬레이션과 Zig-zag 시뮬레이션을 수행하여 제한수로의 영향이 고려된 조종 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 특히 선박의 침로 안정성능을 평가하기 위해 Zig-zag 시험을 수행하는데, 측벽으로 인한 선박 주위의 비대칭 유동이 좌현과 우현에 압력차이를 발생시켜 선박의 궤적에 큰 영향을 미침을 확인하였다.
