Plow Analysis of a Two-Dimensional Moonpool in a Moving Vessel

전진하는 2차원 moonpool의 유동해석

The moonpool is a vertical well ill floating barge, frequently found in drilling ships and in diving support vessel. In this paper, numerical simulation of two-dimensional flow in moonpool situated in moving vessel is carried out using the commercial software FLUENT. The focus of the simulation is to understand drag generation mechanics of moonpool flow. To examine the effect of free surface motion on the drag, simulations are also carried out by employing two different boundary conditions at the free surface.
