Check out our latest VENTuRE journal publication. ABSTRACT: Considering that the ship hydrodynamic behaviours differ by the ship types and dimensions, the effect of biofouling on ship resistance can also vary with different ships. In this study, Unsteady Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) based towed ship models were developed to simulate the roughness effect of biofouling on ship…

It is critical to be able to estimate a ship’s response to waves, since the resulting added resistance and loss of speed may cause delays or course alterations, with consequent financial repercussions. The resistance of a ship operating in a seaway is greater than its resistance in calm water. The difference between these two resistances…
