For this purpose, methods for simulating the unsteady, turbulent aerodynamic flow around bluff bodies of ships are developed and applied. Numerical simulation tools are used to design suitable aerodynamic add-on components for reducing drag. In the context of wind tunnel tests the add-on parts are additionally tested. A large-scale prototype will be manufactured and mounted on a ship of the project partner Jüngerhans to obtain real operating data for validation.
