Optimization of pre-swirl stators based on CFD for a chemical product carrier
The viscous self-propulsion flow fields of a model-scaled 55k DWT chemical product carrier fitted with a rudder-bulb-fin and a pre-swirl stator are numerically simulated based on the CFD general code FLUENT. The energy saving effects of stators are evaluated through the increase of propulsive effici...
