Numerical simulation of oblique towing test
Abstract
During the design of a ship, manoeuvrability performance should be measured in order to ensure course keeping and turning ability. In order to find out these characteristics, the numerical simulation of the Oblique Towing Test (OTT) has been developed, and the forces which act on the ship hull have been found numerically. Results are compared with experimental test carried out in INSEAN 2340 and in the DTMB 5512 ship model.
