摘要
A numerical study of ship-to-ship interaction forces is performed using a commercial CFD code,and the results are compared with experimental data and with the results of a panel method analysis.Two ship models have been used in the interaction forces analysis:a tug and a tanker,advancing parallel to each other with different lateral distances and two different values of the fluid depth.Computations are carried out with four different flow models:inviscid and viscous flow with the free surface modeled as a rigid wall and inviscid and viscous flow with the deformable free surface.A fair agreement was obtained with available experimental data and results obtained by panel method.The influence of viscosity in the computations is found to be comparatively weak,while the wavemaking effects may be important,at small magnitude of the horizontal clearance.

A fair agreement was obtained with available experimental data and results obtained by panel method. The influence of viscosity in the computations is found to be comparatively weak, while the wavemaking effects may be important, at small magnitude of the horizontal clearance.
