CFD study on parameterized barge hull
Abstract
The present study is focused on an improvement of the Europe 2B barge hull forms. The geometry of the barge shape is parameterized so that the model form can be modified according to several variables seeking the minimal barge resistance condition. Barge hydrodynamic resistance is assessed by CFD techniques, based on the FVM method. For the improved barge shape results a decrease of about 2% for the barge resistance.
