Case 2.1: KVLCC2 shallow water, forces & moments
CASE 2.1 (case 2.1.1 and 2.1.2)
1.1 Description of case
- KVLCC2 hull shape
- Fixed in surge, sway, roll and yaw. Upright condition (Ø=0). The experimental results are obtained free to trim and sink
- Calm water
- Water depth to draught ratio 1.2 (i.e. 20% under keel clearance when the ship is at rest)
- LPP = 7.00 m (scale 45.714)
- Vmodel=0.426 m/s, Fn = 0.0514 (corresponding to full scale 5.6 knots)
- g = 9.81 [m/s2], ρ=1000 [kg/m3]; ν=1.27×10-6 [m2/s]
- Propeller present. The propeller should work at the propeller point so that there is self propulsion at Vmodel=0.532 m/s, Fn = 0.0643 (corresponding to full scale 7.0 knots), in shallow water at zero drift and zero yaw rate (and rudder).
- Rudder present, but at zero rudder angle (exactly zero).
1.2 Experimental data
The submissions will be compared to model tests carried out by BSHC in 2013. These model tests were with propeller.

1.3 Requested computations
The requested info comes in 2 packages.
- You can only submit case 2.1.2 when you delivered case 2.1.1
- You can only deliver case 2.1.2 package 2 when you deliver case 2.1.2 package 1.
- You can only deliver case 2.1.2 package 3 when you deliver case 2.1.2 package 2.
Forces and moments should be supplied as follows:
- The N-moment (moment around the z-axis) should be supplied w.r.t. the midship.
- Only the hydrodynamic forces are to be supplied: the inertial forces are not to be included.
- Forces and moments are to be given non-dimensional:

1.4 Format
Link to an excel file, which a submitter can download.
The yellow fields in the excel sheet should be filled in. The excel sheet should be send to the organizing committee per email address “

1.5 Example
For KVLCC2 shallow water, we elaborated an actual example of an actual submission compared to actual experimental data.
Table below gives an example of the data that we would be getting for the KVLCC2
for case 2.1.1 and 2.1.2. Submitters should generate an excel sheet in the format of the Table
below. The submitter has to type the calculated X’, Y’ and N’ ..
The table below gives the results for the KCS in upright condition (Ø=0). The speed is
19.9 knots, the rudder angles remain zero. The N-moment is to be calculated w.r.t. midship. The K-moment is to be calculated w.r.t. the still water waterline. The forces and moments for this case (KCS measured by
JMU) should include the rudder at zero angle, but no propeller.
Table: Data from “submission 1”, (this is an actual case, where an empirical method is used to generate the forces and moments).
The organisers will compare the submitted results to experimental data. Comparing the above submission (above table) to experimental data will give the below 2 sets of figures. It is the intention to have many submissions in the same type of figure to learn about the prediction capabilities for which combinations of r’ and β.
