Analysis of the Accuracy of a Body-Force Propeller Model and a Discretized Propeller Model in RANS Simulations of the Flow Around a Maneuvering Ship

Currently, the RANS (Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes) method is widely recognized as a prevalent approach for computing ship maneuvering forces and moments. Obtaining hydrodynamic derivatives using pure RANS is time-consuming, especially with rotating propellers. A reasonable simplification of the p...
