Abstract
In this work, the analysis of the Kriso Container Ship (KCS) test case using the
OpenFOA RANS solver is proposed. Both ship resistance in calm water, propeller open water
performances, self-propulsion calculations are proposed and the numerical results are validated by
a comparison with the model scale experiments shared in literature and through workshops. The
analyses are carried out applying the open source tools, from pre- to post- processing,
available in the OpenFOAM environment, namely snappyHexMesh for the generation of the computational
mesh, simpleFoam, pimpleDyMFoam, LTSInterFoam for the solution of the various
hydrodynamic problems and Paraview for the post-processing of the results. The comparison
with the experimental measurements, finally, demonstrates the maturity of these solvers for a
reliable and, from an engineering point of view, accurate prediction of some of the
peculiar characteristics of the flow ships and propellers are subjected to.
