Computation of Rudder Open Water Characteristics. Grand Princess (F01) and Al Shamal (G01)

This is the second report in the 17_025 study that deals with the computation of rudder open water characteristics using the FINE/Marine Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software package. It examines the rudder open‐water characteristics for two vessels, the Grand Princess and Al Shamal. These rudders are identified as F01 and G01 in the Flanders Hydraulics (FH) towing tank database, and are semi‐balanced horn rudders. The CFD approach used here follows the setup from the previous reports on this project (Van Hoydonck et al., 2024), adjusting the domains and mesh configurations particularly for this study. However, grid convergence study was already performed in the past; so, to avoid repeating the same processing, we have utilised the knowledge gained from previous rudder open‐water simulations conducted at FH.
