Prediction of added resistance in waves using RANS-based analysis

Abstract

In this study, we carried out added resistance computation for two hull forms using RANS approach. One is the original KVLCC2 and the other is the modified KVLCC2 for reduction of added resistance. The latter is called KWP-bow (KRISO Wave Piercing bow) KVLCC2 in which bow shape is sharpened by removing the bow-bulb. Test was done for thirteen different regular head-wave conditions.iercing bow) KVLCC2 in which bow shape is sharpened by removing the bow-bulb.
