Abstract:In order to study the hydrodynamic characteristics of moored ship under complex flow conditions of deep-water wharf, the transient numerical simulation of viscous flow field of moored ship model was carried out with STAR-CCM +. The flow force was obtained by solving RANS equation and realizable k - ε turbulence model. Under the action of steady flow without wave, the attitude of the moored ship remains stable at last, so the model can be simplified by using the fixed ship instead of the moored ship. Based on the research of grid independence and rationality of numerical model, the hydrodynamic forces of ships under different flow velocity, different flow direction angle and the flow direction changing along the water depth are predicted, and the change rules of longitudinal force, transverse force and yaw moment of moored ships under different flow conditions are discussed. The research results can provide a reference for the mooring ship's cable layout and related engineering design in complex flow environment.
