Springer Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics - Tokyo 2015 Workshop

Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics provides a detailed assessment of the Tokyo 2015 Workshop, offering a specialized look into computational fluid dynamics for ship hydrodynamics. This volume, part of the Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics series, serves as a technical resource for understanding the current state and future directions of the field. The text presents practical ship hull test cases, experimental data, and various computational methods. It covers essential aspects of hydrodynamic analysis, including the examination of global variables such as resistance, sinkage, trim, and self-propulsion. Additionally, it addresses local flow variables like wave elevations, mean velocities, and turbulence. Readers will find valuable data regarding error analysis and standard deviations for global variables. The book also evaluates how grid size and turbulence models impact results, making it a useful reference for those studying computational methods and their applications in maritime engineering and fluid dynamics.
