CFD optimisation of the longitudinal volume distribution of a ship’s hull by constrained transformation of the sectional area curve

Kraskowski Marek

2022

nr 3

11--20

The paper presents a proposal for a formalised approach to hull shape optimisation with respect to total resistance, by fine-tuning longitudinal volume distribution. An algorithm for automated modification of the hull is presented, allowing for varying the sectional area distribution with a negligible influence on the resulting displacement. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver STAR-CCM+ and computer computer-aided design (CAD) software NX were used to search the optimal volume distribution of selected parent shapes, with respect to total resistance. The bow part and the aft part were optimised separately. The resulting resistances of the selected optimal shapes were then verified by means of scale model tests, realised in the towing tank at the Maritime Advanced Research Centre (CTO) S.A. A noticeable gain in total resistance was achieved and confirmed by experimental tests. The proposed approach seems to be a promising method for relatively quick parametric optimisation of the designed hull shapes; it is also applicable for generic CFD optimisation studies.

The paper presents the method and results of the model tests of helicopter ditching, aimed at adaptation of the helicopter's construction for marine mis-sions. The experiment, realized by Maritime Advanced Research Centre S.A. (CTO) required elaboration of dedicated measurement stand, and solving a number of specific technical problems resulting from the necessity of assuring the repeatability, and required accuracy of the measurements and scalability of the results. Such kind of experiment is not a standard task of a hydrodynamic model testing institution, so it brings an innovation in the testing methodology. The paper presents the details of the test stand and the model itself with rotating rotor, design of the experiment, as well as an overview of the results and main conclusions.
