Study on Characteristics of Turning Circle Maneuver of Ship in Quartering Sea
A solver is developed based on open-source code OpenFOAM to simulate the 6-DOF turning circle maneuver of a ship in quartering sea.Firstly,the numerical simulation results are compared with the tank test results to validate the numerical simulation method.Then numerical simulations were carried out on the turning circle maneuver in quartering sea with various wavelengths,and the ship's turning circle maneuver trajectories and the corresponding velocity and angular velocity in the process were obtained.The influence of wave parameters on the maneuverability of the ship in the quartering sea is studied.
