Hull form Development of Algeria Trawl fishing boat using CWC model test and CFD analysis
To fulfill the design requirement from the Algeria owner, Hull form development of a trawl fishing boat was performed. Model test at CWC in INHA Technical collage was carried out to investigate the resistance characteristics and CFD analysis using FLUENT was performed to examine flow patterns and pressure distribution around hull etc. The designed hull form satisfies speed-power requirement of 10.5 knots at installed power. This paper describes the design feature of trawl fishing boat and evaluates the model test results and CFD results. The design constraints for Algeria trawl fishing boat were explained and the speed of the ship was compared with sea trial results.
