In this paper, the efficiency of Propeller Boss Cap Fins (PBCF) installed at the bulk carrier was estimated under both Propeller Open Water (POW) and self-propulsion conditions. For this estimation, virtual model-basin tests (resistance, POW, and self-propulsion tests) were conducted through Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDs) simulation. In the resistance test, the total resistance and the wake distribution according to ship speed were investigated. In the POW test, changes of thrust, torque coefficient, and open water efficiency on the propeller according to PBCF installation were investigated. Finally, the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC) 1978 method was used to predict the effect of PBCF installation on self-propulsive coefficient and brake horsepower. For analyzing incompressible viscous flow field, the Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes (RANS) equation with SST k-ω turbulence model was calculated using Star-CCM+ 11.06.010-R8. All simulation results were validated by comparing the results of model tests conducted at the Korea Research Institute of Ships and Ocean Engineering (KRISO). Consequently, for the self-propulsion test with the PBCF, a 1.5% reduction of brake horsepower was estimated in the simulation and a 0.5% reduction of the brake horsepower was estimated in the experiment.

Planar motion mechanism (PMM) tests provide a means of obtaining the hydrodynamic derivatives needed to assess ship maneuverability properties. In this paper, the self-developed computational fluid dynamic (CFD) solver based on the open source code platform OpenFOAM, naoe-FOAM-SJTU, associated with the overset grid method is used to simulate the complex viscous flow field of PMM tests for a benchmark model Yupeng Ship. This paper discusses the effect of several parameters such as the drift angle and period on the hydrodynamic performance of the ship and compares the time histories of the predicted forces and moments with experimental data. To investigate the complex viscous flows with a large separation, four vortex identification methods are used to capture the vortex structures. The results show that the forces and moments are in good agreement in static drift and dynamic tests. By comparing the vortex structures, it is found that the third generation vortex identification methods, OmegaR and Liutex, are able to more accurately capture the vortex structures. The paper concludes that the present numerical scheme is reliable and the third generation vortex identification methods are more suitable for displaying the vortex structures in a complex viscous flow field.

A 470 sailing race requires effective cooperation between athletes to optimize the hull position and the correct heading. To understand the effect of the hull on the maneuverability of the rudder and the influence of the rudder on the stability and rapidity of the hull at different ship speeds, requires numerical 3D simulation and research on the viscous flow field of 470 sailing based on Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations. The results show that the rudder can reduce the wave making characteristics of the hull, reducing energy loss and thus improving the hull’s rapidity when the speed is greater than 6 m/s, as the effective area of rudder decrease and increases the stall angle, which reduces the manipulatable performance of the rudder to some extent. This study could quantify the performance of the hull and rudder at different speeds. Moreover, this study might provide strategies for the athletes to effectively control the rudder and hull at different speeds.
