The Rim Driven Thruster (RDT) has become a popular ship propulsion system in recent years. Due to the complex structure of RDT, a great number of computational resources are required to study the interaction between RDT and hull by adopting the discretized propeller method. This research looks into a modified body force method which is suitable for the RDT. To simulate self-propulsion of a trawler with a rim driven thruster, the Reynolds-averaged NaviereStokes (RANS) solver is used. In the modified body force method, three virtual disks are adopted to replace the propeller and rim rotors. Before correction, the interactions among the duct, the rim rotors and the propeller were studied. Through the analysis, it is found that the most suitable scheme is to take the open water curves of the propeller, of the “rotors þ duct” and of the RDT as the references for modification. The ducted virtual disks open water curve is modified in open water simulations until the result is consistent with the RDT open water calculation results. When used to self-propulsion simulation, the modified body force method is accurate and can roughly characterize the flow fields. The modified body force method saves a huge number of grids when compared to the discretized propeller method. Furthermore, the interaction between the ship and the RDT can be accurately modeled, which is critical for quickly predicting self-propulsion in ships equipped with rim driven thrusters. Finally, the modified body force method in this work is named as the body force RDT method.
Abstract
The Rim Driven Thruster (RDT) has become a popular ship propulsion system in recent years. Due to the complex structure of RDT, a great number of computational resources are required to study the interaction between RDT and hull by adopting the discretized propeller method. This research looks into a modified body force method which is suitable for the RDT. To simulate self-propulsion of a trawler with a rim driven thruster, the Reynolds-averaged NaviereStokes (RANS) solver is used. In the modified body force method, three virtual disks are adopted to replace the propeller and rim rotors. Before correction, the interactions among the duct, the rim rotors and the propeller were studied. Through the analysis, it is found that the most suitable scheme is to take the open water curves of the propeller, of the “rotors þ duct” and of the RDT as the references for modification. The ducted virtual disks open water curve is modified in open water simulations until the result is consistent with the RDT open water calculation results. When used to self-propulsion simulation, the modified body force method is accurate and can roughly characterize the flow fields. The modified body force method saves a huge number of grids when compared to the discretized propeller method. Furthermore, the interaction between the ship and the RDT can be accurately modeled, which is critical for quickly predicting self-propulsion in ships equipped with rim driven thrusters. Finally, the modified body force method in this work is named as the body force RDT method.
