Further Developments of the Momentum Integral Method for Boundary Layers.

Abstract

This report describes three phases of work towards improving and extending the three-dimensional ship boundary layer calculation method of von Kerczek (1982). The three items discussed in this report are: (1) the method has been extended to deal with roughness of the ship hull; (2) a viscous inviscid interaction scheme has been developed but not yet computationally implemented; and (3) the computer implementation of the basic von Kerczek momentum integral method has been improved in several details. These are described in this report. Keywords include: GHR(General Hydrodynamics Research), Turbulence, Boundary layers, Ships, Viscous drag, and 3-Dimensional.
