This report describes the application of the Fluent code to the numerical simulation of the free-surface flow around a model naval ship; the DTMB 5415. Simulations were performed using both a structured hexahedral mesh and an unstructured tetrahedral mesh of lower resolution. The results show that Fluent is able to accurately simulate the total ship resistance, near-field wave shapes, and the velocity field in the propeller plane. The results indicate ...
We use the commercial computational fluid dynamics code Fluent to simulate the flow around a sphere in several different flow regimes; steady-state laminar flow at a Reynolds number (Re) of 100, time-dependent laminar flow at Re = 300, and turbulent flow at Re = 10,000 and Re = 1,000,000. These simulations provide a test of the ability of the code to accurately reproduce typical flow structures observed in generic bluff ...
