Influence of ship motion on waterway. Backward current velocity

Abstract

In this work was presented an influence of bow form of inland waterways ship and waterway limitations on values of backward current velocity. The analysis was performed on the basis of results of calculations with the use of numerical modeling the flow around ship hull. The applied HPSDK computation system (a computer software developed by these authors) is based on using surface distribution of vorticity to analyze the velocity field and pressure distribution around ship hull. It was proved that the generated backward current velocity exceeded its permissible non-scouring values.
