Numerical Simulation and Experimental Study of Skimming Phenomenon

Abstract

We performed experiment and 3D simulation using CIP-CUP method of skimming phenomenon. According to experiment, we found that there was the optimal range of angle between the bottom of a skipper and water surface. The result can be reproduced with our simulation, which makes a good agreement with experiment. This simulation is a promising resort as the replacement for difficult measurement like a high speed ship.
