Abstract:
This abstract describes an experimental series at the Low Turbulence Tunnel (LTT) at TU Delft to characterize the flow field on the deck of an MR2-class tanker using 2D-2C PIV, pressure measurements and force balance measurements. The visualization of the ship deck flow features are intended to provide a basis for a physics-informed model of the inflow conditions of wind-assisted ship propulsion devices and therefore improve accuracy of performance predictions as well as make informed decisions on optimal device placement in the design phase of wind-assisted ships.
