  • External Aerodynamic Study on Wing in Ground Effect (WIG) Marine Vehicle Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (Cfd)

    American Journal of Engineering Research (AJER)

    ABSTRACT: The study of the characteristics performances of a wing in ground effect marine vehicle is carried out in this project; a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed through numerical simulation to study the behavior of the fluid flow around the 3D WIG craft CAD model. The Navier Stokes Equation, which is based on the Reynolds transport theory, and the K- omega SST turbulence model is solved for the aerodynamic flow around the wing in ground effect (WIG) 3D geometric CAD…

    ABSTRACT: The study of the characteristics performances of a wing in ground effect marine vehicle is carried out in this project; a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method is employed through numerical simulation to study the behavior of the fluid flow around the 3D WIG craft CAD model. The Navier Stokes Equation, which is based on the Reynolds transport theory, and the K- omega SST turbulence model is solved for the aerodynamic flow around the wing in ground effect (WIG) 3D geometric CAD model. The hex-dominant mesh algorithm was used to discretize a largely enough computational domain to solve for convergence in the numerical simulation, with the goal to obtain coherent and valid simulation run result.
