ABSTRACT

Based on the theoretical research and aiming to achieve S-175 ship model resistance conditions, the vertical circulating tank experiment and numerical simulation research have been operated in this paper. The numerical simulation results were compared with the experimental results. In this paper, the gas and liquid distributions are also ana-

1 INTRODUCTION

The main performance parameters of the ship include heavy resistance, buoyancy, stability, maneuverability and speed, etc. (Yu 2009). Among these, the ship’s speed has a significant influence on the economy and utility, which also makes greater contribution to the maneuverability and operational capability of the warship. Basically, the speed is mainly affected by ship resistance. Hence, studies on the resistance of ship sailing are always the research hot spot in the ship design field.
