Resumen
The numerical calculation was performed for the KRISO Container Ship (KCS) hull-propeller-rudder system with different freedom hull motion by employing the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method and adopting the overset grid. Firstly, the numerical simulation of hydrodynamics for a bare hull with the heave and pitch motion is carried out. The results show that the space non-uniformity of a nominal wake in the disk plane with motion is comparable to the case without motion. However, the time non-uniformity increases sharply and it has a significant positive relationship with the motion amplitude. Then, the propeller exciting force is calculated in the case including single heave, single pitch and their couple motion. It was found that both the ship and propeller hydrodynamic performance deteriorated dramatically due to the hull motion. Furthermore, the spectrum peak at the motion frequency is dominant in all the peak values and the larger the amplitude is, the higher the motion frequency peak is expected to be. For the propeller bearing force, the effect of the different hull motions appears as linear superimposition. However, the superimposition of different hull motions enlarges the propeller-induced fluctuating pressure in a single motion.
