Numerical study of a novel ventilation system added to the structure of a catamaran for different slamming conditions using OpenFOAM
Large-size catamarans' structural behavior is sensitive and critical during the slamming phenomenon. “Ventilation pipes” within the center bow structure are proposed to discharge these cumulative pressure and related loads. The validation case is comprising two different simulation schemes, sta...
