A desingularized high order panel method based on Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) was developed to deal with three-dimensional potential flow problems. A NURBS surface was used to precisely represent the body geometry. Velocity potential on the body surface was described by the B-spline after the source density distribution on the body surface had been solved. The collocation approach was employed to satisfy the Neurnann boundary condition and Gaussian quadrature points were chosen as both the collocation points and the source points. The singularity was removed by a combined method, so the process of the numerical computation was non-singular. In order to verify the method proposed, the unbounded flow problems of sphere and ellipsoid, the wave-making problem of a submerged ellipsoid were chosen as computational examples. It is shown that the numerical results are in good agreement with analytical solutions and other numerical results in all cases, and sufficient accuracy of numerical solution can be reached with a small number of panels.
The viscous hydrodynamic force and moment on ships moving obliquely in shallow water are important for ship navigation safety.In the paper,the viscous flow field around a KVLCC2 model moving obliquely in shallow water is simulated and the hydrodynamic drag,lateral force and yaw moment acting on the hull are obtained by a general purpose computational fluid dynamics(CFD) package FLUENT with shear-stress transport(SST) k—ωturbulence model.The numerical computation is performed at different drift angels and water depths.The numerical results are compared with experimental results,and a good agreement is demonstrated.
