In the present study, high-fidelity simulations of the wake behind a transom stern are
performed with a block-based adaptive mesh refinement technology. By transom stern, we …

We present high-resolution implicit large eddy simulation (iLES) of the turbulent air-
entraining flow in the wake of three-dimensional rectangular dry transom sterns with varying …

The superstructures of ships can generate different scales of vortices, a threat to the
helicopter maneuvering. Aiming at the problem, the characteristics of the ship airwake is …

Accurate prediction of the highly-mixed flow in the near field of a surface ship is a
challenging and active research topic in Computational Ship Hydrodynamics. The disparity …

Two series of experiments have been conducted, one at the University of Michigan (UM),
and one by The University of New South Wales (UNSW), with a focus to characterize the …

Due to the combination of the forward speed and the prevailing wind for surface ship
traveling in the ocean, the airflow passing over the ship's superstructure causes the …

We analyse the turbulence characteristics and consider the closure modelling of the air
entraining flow in the wake of three-dimensional, rectangular dry transom sterns obtained …

In this paper, numerical and experimental assessment of nominal wake for a handymax bulk
carrier at model and full-scale is performed. A circumferential averaged non-dimensional …

Transom stern hydrodynamics Transom stern hydrodynamics Abstract The use of a transom
stern on marine vehicles introduces many difficulties for the designer to predict performance …

The flow is unsteady in that the problem is started from rest and accelerated up to steady
forward speed. The purpose of this study is to compare with previous steady calculations …
