Numerical Simulation of Wave-Making Interactions Between Two Ships in Calm Water

Numerical simulation on wave-making interactions between two ships with similar displacement was carried out by the VOF method.Two Wigley ships with the same form were used,and RNG k-ε model turbulent flow model was employed in the calculation.Different spacing and speed were investigated in the simulation to obtain the wave height distribution and the maximum wave height positions between two ships.The maximum wave height emerge s at one-third length of the ship at low speed and two-third length at relatively high speed.This result is in accordance with the model test data which proves the availability of the calculation method.More complicate d simulation of the interactions between two ships can be built on this method.
