Popis: Estimating ship low-speed manoeuvrability is a crucial and challenging task especially in early design sign stage. It is essential in case of cruise ships or ferries because they have to be able to operate in harbours without tugs assistance. Their crabbing ability (moving sideways in order to approach or leave a quay) is critical. The integral part of the crabbing for twin screw ships is a push-pull manoeuvre, which is a combination of pulling and pushing action of propellers coupled with rudders causing the sideway motion of the ship. To better understand the complex flow features during a push-pull manoeuvre and help to estimate crabbing ability CFD simulations can be used.
