Scope of work:
- Evaluation of vessel’s geometry.
- Wind, current and wave coefficients are obtained through CFD simulations in StarCCM+.
- Evaluation of performance and suction of each thruster.
- Calculation of forces and moments acting on the vessel.
- Position keeping ability of the vessel according to ERN (Environmental regularity number)
- DP capability plot
Results:
As a result of this project, the evaluation of DP capability plot determined the limiting environmental conditions within which the vessel will be able to maintain position and heading while using DP.
