Perform ance of double acting tanker during astern in ice condition

The purpose of this study is to investigate the performance double acting tanker (DAT) during astern in ice condition. The design of ship is based on the existing design known as Ship-A which is the tanker that already used in the market. The performance of ship has been evaluated for moving astern in different ice level condition. The design of ship is designed using SolidWorks and Maxsurf. The design from SolidWorks format is used in CFD simulations by ANSYS to evaluate the performance of ship. New ship design known as Ship-B has been developed based on design on Ship-A with certain modification at stern hull. The effect of ship geometry was studied and resistance of ship were highlighted. Results were compared between data of Ship-A and Ship-B come out with discussion about the relationship of stern hull geometry with resistance of ship.
