Study of tankwall effect


One of the limiting conditions for conducting towing tank tests is is the breadth of the test model, in comparison with the tank dimensions (breadth). The tank wall influence is well recorded in terms of augmentation of resistance due to the tank wall effect. This study takes up the tank wall effect in more rigorous way, CFD as a tool.
