The effects of head waves on propulsion characteristics of a single and a twin screw ship were investigated based on a Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solver and physical tests. Initially, propeller open water characteristics were determined in a homogeneous inflow. Next, computations of the towed models without propeller(s) in calm water and in waves were performed to obtain calm water resistances and waves added resistances. Finally, forces acting on the self-propelled models in calm water and in regular head waves were computed. Using obtained results propulsion characteristics in calm water and in waves were determined. Computations were performed using a RANS based flow-solver coupled with the nonlinear six-degrees-of-freedom equations of motion. When needed, the sliding interface method was used, enabling rotation of the geometrically modeled propeller. All computations were performed on the same numerical grid to keep errors originating from different spatial and temporal discretizations as small as possible. Grid studies were conducted to evaluate discretization errors. Computational results were compared to experimental results obtained from physical model tests. It was shown that the RANS solver is capable of investigating the propulsion behavior of a ship in regular head waves. Fair agreement between numerical and experimental results was obtained.
