Seakeeping prediction of KVLCC2 in head waves with RANS

The present work is devoted to the prediction of added resistance and ship motion of KVLCC2 in head waves. Systematic validation and verification of the numerical computation demonstrate that reliable numerical results can be obtained in calm water as well as in head waves. The numerical results are analyzed in terms of added resistance, ship motions and wake flow. Both free to heave and pitch and fixed model are studied to investigate the...
