7 OBJECTIVES
 CFD analysis of house boat hull
 Resistance characteristics
 Kelvin wave pattern
 Velocity and pressure distribution on the surface of the hull
8 METHODOLOGY
Data was collected at site
3D wireframe Modelling - AUTOCAD
Developing NURBS surface - MAXSURF
Hydrodynamic analysis - SHIPFLOW
Validation using S_60 model
9 THEORETICAL FORMULATION
Wave making resistance

( RW )
TOTAL RESISTANCE (RT)
Frictional resistance
( RF )
Viscous pressure resistance
Appendage resistance
Air resistance
10 WAVE MAKING RESISTANCE
 Due to normal fluid pressure acting on the hull
 If the body is travelling on or near the free surface this

pressure variation causes waves
 Two wave system : Transverse wave system
Divergent wave system
 Wave posses both potential and kinetic energy
 This total energy opposes the motion of the ship
11 CONT.…
 Kelvin wave pattern

 Bow and stern wave system
 Moving pressure field close to the bow
 Suction field near the stern
12 INTERFERENCE OF WAVE SYSTEM
13 FRICTIONAL RESISTANCE
 Viscosity of fluid causes friction
 Depends on the type of fluid and flow pattern
 By the integration of the tangential stress over the wetted

surface of the ship
 No Friction for Ideal Fluid
 In 1957 the International Towing Tank Conference (ITTC57)

proposed a formula

𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑎𝑙 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑐𝑜𝑒𝑓𝑓𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐶𝐹 = =
0.5𝜌𝑠𝑣 2 (log10 𝑅𝑛 − 2)2
14 BOUNDARY LAYER
 Viscosity is significant inside the

Boundary layer.
 Outside the boundary layer ,

potential flow theory can be
applied.
 Sudden change of curvature

of the surface causes Flow
separation.
 Formation of eddies
15 CONT. ….
 Total resistance RT = RW + RF
RW = 0.5 ρ CW S V2
RF = 0.5 ρ CF S V2
Where CW = wave making drag coefficient

CF = friction drag coefficient
ρ = density of fluid
S = wetted surface area of the hull
V = velocity of ship

45 WAVE CONTOURS AND WAVE PROFILES
46
47 PRESSURE COEFFICIENT CONTOURS
 The non-dimensionalized pressure is p =1/2 × CP × Patm (Pascal)
 Cp = 0 indicates that the pressure is the same as the free stream pressure
 Cp = 1 indicates the pressure is stagnation pressure
 Negative Cp indicates pressure less than free stream pressure
CP distribution on the surface of the house

boat at Fn= 0.210
48
Side bow view
Side stern view
49 VELOCITY COEFFICIENT CONTOURS
 Non dimensionalized velocity is extracted by multiplying

with ship speed
 At bow point the velocity is zero which is called stagnation
point.
 The curvature of the ship is not constant throughout the
ship, so the flow velocity changes
CV distribution on the surface of the house

boat at Fn= 0.210
50 CONCLUSIONS
 Analysis was performed by employing coarse, medium and fine
meshes, and it was observed that the values of resistance coefficients
varies with the mesh size
 The resistance coefficient at different Froude numbers for steady

turbulent flow was estimated by performing simulations with the
different drafts of the house boat
 The design draft cannot be more than 0.5m when the Froude
numbers cannot be exceeding 0.560 (30 km/h).
 The wave making resistance increases with the speed of the ship with
some humps and hollows, because of interference of bow wave
system, shoulder wave system and stern wave systems
51 CONCLUSIONS
 It is observed that the total resistance is increases with the
speed of the boat and as well as draft of the boat
 Pressure Contours and Velocity Contours are observed.
52 SCOPE FOR FUTURE WORK
 The hydro dynamic analysis was performed under calm water

in this study.
 Analysis can be continued for further study by employing

regular or irregular waves
 Considering air resistance, appendage resistance and viscous

pressure resistance
 Can create better hull forms for effective use.
