Recent progress in CFD for naval


architecture and ocean engineering
1.Introduction
CFD is transforming engineering design as the build-and-test design spiral
approach transforms to the simulation based design (SBD)
First generation SBD capability has focused more on functionality than high
fidelity and exascale computing requiring significant advancements to achieve the
next generation SBD capability for fully resolved

Paradigm for development SBD for ship hydrodynamics :


SBD for ship hydrodynamics merges traditional fields of resistance and propulsion,
seakeeping, maneuvering, open-ocean and littoral environmental effects, and offers
new opportunities for future ships to meet challenges of the 21st century.
International collaborations with other research institutions and organizations
include participation in ITTC and NATO AVT working groups and naval
engineering educational consortium (NEEC), organizing international CFD
workshops and current NICOP projects. Those activities are mutual-beneficial and
magnifying individual institute capabilities, which has been foundational in the
unprecedented achievements of computational ship hydrodynamics.

2.CFDShip-Iowa URANS/DES/LES SBD Toolbox :


CFDShip-Iowa has been a leading ship hydrodynamics CFD code for over 20
years, which has been verified and validated for many applications in ship flows.
current versions include CFDShip-Iowa V4.5, V6.1, and V6.2, with V5.5 and V6.3
under development.

V4.5 and 5.5 modeling, numerical methods, HPC CFDShip-Iowa V4.5 is an


incompressible URANS/DES solver designed for ship hydrodynamics[

The next-generation high-fidelity SBD tools, CFD Ship-Iowa V6, are already
under development for milestone achievement in increased capability focusing on
orders of magnitude improvements in accuracy, robustness, and exascale HPC
capability.

In Version 6.1, Cartesian grids are used with immersed methods for complicated
geometries[ and the level set based ghost fluid method is used for sharp interface
treatment and fully two-phase coupling with the VOF method for interface
tracking.
V6.2 with enhanced technologies for the interface modeling and similar numerical
methods and HPC capabilities as V6.1.

3. Naval architecture :
 Resistance and seakeeping, captive and free running maneuvering, free
running course keeping, and intact and damaged stability

 Turbulence
URANS with anisotropic turbulence model performed better than isotropic model.
DES predicted unsteady flow with up to 95% resolved turbulence.
Overall, turbulence modeling is a roadblock for improved prediction of viscous
flow for ship hulls, as URANS is too dissipative and DES has limitations for both
slender and bluff bodies.

 Ship-ship interaction
the interaction effect decreases motions and increases sway forces, roll and yaw
moments, being more significant for the smaller vessel

 Advanced hull forms and fluid-structure interaction:


ACV/SES, WAM-V, planing hulls
Modeling requirements are different for specific hulls, fluid-structure interactions
(FSIs) including multi-body dynamics (MBD) for suspension systems and finite
element (FE) modeling for flexible hulls.

ACV/SES capabilities are implemented in CFDShip-Iowa including cushion


models, seal models, air-flow over the above water seals and superstructure,
decoupled cushion cavity flow, waterjet propulsion with side forces and yaw
moments induced by nozzle rotations and reverse buckets, and air-fan propulsion
model

The wave adaptive modular vessel (WAM-V) is an ultra-light flexible catamaran


that conforms to the surface of the water through a collective suspension and is
modularly designed enabling a wide variety of
applications.

4. Ocean engineering
4.1 Single- and two-phase vortex shedding
It was shown that the airwater
interface makes the separation point more delayed for all regimes of Re and the air-water interface
structures are remarkably changed with different Froude numbers. However, the deep flow did not display
the correct single-phase flow behavior due to the deficient grid resolution and non-conservative convection
scheme, among other issues, employed with CFDShip-Iowa V6.2

4.2 Wave run-up


Wave run-up CFD simulations of wave run-up around single/ multiple truncated vertical cylinder(s) for ITTC
ocean engineering workshop tests cases

5.Fundamental physics :
 5.1 IBM for idealized and practical geometries
CFDShip-Iowa V6.1 is a Cartesian grid solver utilizing a direct forcing
immersed boundary method.

5.3 Cavitation
Cavitation degrades the performance of lifting surfaces found on ships, such as
propeller blades and rudders and may cause erosion

7. Future research
Current mainstream RANS solvers for ship hydrodynamics are expected to
continue performing well for even larger grids of up to a few billions of points.
However, there will be a threshold that further increase of grid size
cannot improve the results anymore because of the inherently limited RANS/DES
turbulence models and the widely-used lower-order discretization schemes.
High-fidelity,

the next-generation, high-fidelity ship hydrodynamics solvers have to be developed


aiming at the oncoming exascale computing platforms, and addressing modeling
issues, discretization schemes, and HPC memory and scalability restraints at the
same time.
