Towards improved energy efficiency of future smart ships by application of advanced CFD simulations – case study
Abstract
The international trade plays crucial role in today’s globally developed world’s economy. Many people are unaware of the unimaginable volume of cargo being transported every year by oceans and seas. For most of the time invisible from land the shipping industry preserves its strong position of the most cost-efficient and environmental friendly mean of transport. However during last years the shipping industry is under great pressure to reduce an environmental impact. The significant rise of ship’s energy efficiency is expected by technology development and also by improved management. In both cases a great advantage of computer simulations can be utilized. In the article the CFD technology was applied to analyze a case study ship behavior in selected operational states. The computer simulations were verified by experimental measurements on the ship which proved significant rise in effective operational efficiency for analyzed cases. The huge potential of CFD simulation technology was demonstrated for limiting fuel consumption and CO2, NOx, SOx emission.
