Propulsive performance improvement of an inland pusher
Abstract
The paper proposes a numerical investigation based on RANS computation for solving the free surface viscous flow around an inland pusher in order to provide a detailed insight into the critical flow regions for studying the hydrodynamic interactions between various components of the propulsion system, for predicting the hydrodynamic performance of the propulsion system and for determining the optimum propulsion arrangement.
