EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN ANALYSIS AND COMPARISON OF FORM OF FORECASTLE DECK EDGE USING WAVE SPEED VARIATION USING COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS

The purpose of this study is to design experiments to determine the impact of ship aerodynamics in Indonesia using the Computational Fluid Dynamic method and compare the impact of fuell consumption and load from experimental testing. Thus, it can be known in detail about the voltage that occurs up to the final speed of the ship during testing. In the preparation of this research the first step is to model the end of the ship using CAD software from the original model used in experimental testing. The next thing is to determine the value of the mechanical properties of the material and then put it in the CAE software. In CAE software, it is also determined about the boundary conditions of the material and then determines the speed. The next thing to do is the process of meshing the plate and ammunition and after the meshing process is proceeded to the running process. In contrast to experimental testing where there are various obstacles, the data produced by testing the Computational Fluid Dynamic method and experimental testing can sometimes be different. This is because in the testing process using Computational Fluid Dynamic, conditions are always in optimal conditions.
