Towing test results of the following models: KCS, KVLCC2, DTMB 5415

Hello everyone,

Do you have the towing test results for the followings models:

- KCS

- KVLCC2

- DTMB 5415

I have the .stl available so I would like to run my cfd calculations for validation results.

Thank you in advance!

 

Hi, almost every marine CFD validation paper uses one of these; aren't the originals cited in the references ?

 

Hello @CocoonCruisers ,

thanks for your reply, the only papers free to download that I found is the DTC Hull:

Do you have the other papers available to share?

Thank you!

 

As Cocooncruisers said, you can get through google papers like this one, free of access, is it not what you search for ? :

Urgh, indeed, tried it myself now. Most of it seems well hidden in paywall nirvana and on media made of dead trees.
For the KCS, at least you could grab the key towing tank results here: https://www.uni-due.de/imperia/md/content/ist/nutts_01_2010_duisburg.pdf , like Dolfiman suggested for the DTMB.

 

Hello guys,

thanks a lot for your assistance.

What basically I would like to receive results of resistance model tests, without propellers.

Indeed for the DTC hull you can get this table, as you can in attachment.

I would like to get the same table for the other vessels because the model in 3D is available, so I can run CFD test in OpenFoam and check if my results matches with the towing test results.

If you can provide me with these kind of tables it would be great!

thanks!

 

Hi everyone,
Anyone have KVLCC2 Resistance Model test report.
