About this document
Bulb Optimization via CFD Analysis by Lekhraj Meena Jorwal is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document summarizes a study that used computational fluid dynamics to optimize the bulbous bow of a ship model. The study utilized an adjoint-based shape optimization method in OpenFOAM to modify 343 control points within a parameterized box region on the original bulbous bow geometry. This resulted in 8 variants with drag reductions up to 3.88% compared to the base hull design. Pressure contours on the variants showed improvements in flow.
