TITLE : FLOW AROUND A SHIP'S STERN (Library Case : 530)

BY : CHAM Development Team - D B Spalding - N C Markatos

DATE : 1981 PHOENICS Version :

DETAILS :

• Three-Dimensional Steady flow
• Curvilinear (BFC) computational grid

NOTES :

• Solution domain is a cylindrical quadrant in which the hull half-section occupies the region near the axis
• The south boundary represents the hull surface and the east boundary the waterline
• The north cylindrical boundary has a constant pressure specification to simulate approximately an infinite domain by allowing mass and axial momentum to cross it
• Inlet plane is at midships and the outlet plane is placed beyond the stern

  Pictures are as follows :

  1. Geometrical Configuration 2. Velocity vectors 3. Pressure distribution contours
