Abstract

Abstract: Seakeeping performance is one of the requirements to ensure the convenience and safety of life at sea, especially for passenger ships. In this paper, the result of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses concerning the effect of NACA 4412 stern foil to the improvement of seakeeping quality and resistance of 1200 GT passenger ship are presented. The fitting of stern foil has become a popular method for the improvement of ship design. Stern foil is hydrofoil attached to the transom of the vessel located at the stern part below the waterline. The analysis was developed on the conditions of regular and irregular head waves. The CFD computation on 8 variations of the stern foil position and attack angle has been carried out by using Numeca Fine/Marine. The study confirms that the ship resistance decrease by 3.6 % at the service speed of the ship. The improvement of heaving and pitching amplitudes, as well as heaving acceleration, are significant for the hull vane located at 50% of displacement draft and 1% of displacement length with the attack angle of −4°.
