What can CFD bring to Ship Hydrodynamics ?
ECN-CNRS
ISIS-CFD
CFD is by essence a multi-disciplinary scientific discipline
CFD is based on Applied Mathematics through the development

of discretisation methods for Partial Differential Equations
modeling flows,
CFD is based on physical models to describe turbulence,
multiphase flows, etc... which are in continuous development,
CFD is more and more inter-disciplinary and addresses specific
problems associated with new physical couplings.

What are the objectives of CFD for Ship Hydrodynamics ?

A non-exhaustive list of objectives
To provide an accurate prediction of forces exerted by the fluid on
the ship in very general situations (from resistance to
seakeeping),
To give an accurate prediction of the flow field to improve the
propeller/hull/rudder design,
To increase the knowledge on the effects of appendages on the
flow,
To provide fast and reliable full-scale flow solutions to have less
recourse to expensive model tests combined with sometimes
unreliable extrapolation procedures,
To combine aero and hydrodynamics study for special purposes.

Mesh refinement method

Modular algorithm in 3 steps
Refinement criterion: from real variable (=> Where ?)
To control the location of the refinement,
To control the shape of the refined cells,
To allow anisotropic grid refinement for flexibility,
=> A metric refinement criteria has been developped,
Refinement decision: logical, per cell (=> Which cells ?)

Remains the same for any refinement criterion,
Based on criterion to decide which cells to (de)refine,
Preserve the quality of the mesh,
(De)Refinement.
Done cell by cell,
Derefinement and refinement are decoupled.
ECN-CNRS
ISIS-CFD
Towards anisotropic grid refinement
It is crucial to design a criterion which naturally leads to an anisotropic

mesh refinement since isotropic mesh refinement is actually useless
for real 3D high Re turbulent flows (quickly too expensive in terms of
grid points)

Criterion for free-surface
Around free surface (FS),
Directional criterion : normal to FS,

Conclusions
Many specific difficulties (Free-surface flows, High Reynolds

numbers, Short delivery time of computational results,...) making
problematic the use of CFD in Naval Hydrodynamics, are now
solved,
Full-scale free-surface flows are now routinely computed on
fully-appended hulls in a few days,
The use of CFD and the training of young expertised
engineers/naval architects should be strongly encouraged since a
reliable CFD approach may lead to innovative concepts and gains
of profitability for the maritime industry.

To improve the description of hull/propeller/rudder unsteady
coupling by developing specific reliable tools to compute the flow
around rotating propellers,
Propeller ventilation
To develop reliable and robust cavitation and transition models,

To introduce in ship hydrodynamics innovative concepts like
automatic shape optimization, local flow control ( future
development of interdisciplinary studies) and white water
modelling.
To extend our code to robust fluid-structure interaction (FSI)
simulations via dynamic libraries or MPCCI.

Perspectives for 2012 (version 2.4) 2/2
Huge gains of CFD efficiency are expected from automatic grid

adaptivity driven by local characteristics of the flow,
All these future developments will require a stronger
integration/coupling of geometric modeling tool into the flow
solver ! This is the reason why we have started to integrate
ISIS-CFD into FRIENDSHIP-Framework for naval applications.
