1. Introduction
For the project {{projectName}} of {{projectData.CompanyName}} the calm water powering performance has been assessed and ranked to alternative designs of the world fleet. By means of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) various sailing conditions have been simulated by DNV's Ship Performance Simulator (SPS) methodology. This methodology takes advantage of full scale Volume of Fluids (VoF) computations solving the Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes Equations (RANSE).

The computation setup is selected to specifically aim at highlighting the propulsion performance of the hull itself and therefore the propulsion simulations utilize a standardized and simplified propeller model. Further, benchmarking of the current vessel is done with similar projects in DNV's Ship Performance Simulator database. As SPS's methodology ensures a consistent assessment and best comparability of alternative designs this feature gives a perfect view on the performance level of the current design.

This report summarizes the provided hull and propeller details, describes the methods and procedures used and presents the numerical results.

The hull lines are customer input and have been checked for their quality w.r.t. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) applicability.
The hull lines have been derived from structural drawings provided by the customer. More information on the digitalization process can be found in the Procedure chapter.
3.2 Propeller Details
The open water efficiency of a Wageningen B-series propeller is used for the prediction of the self-propulsion predictions. It has been selected based on the given input parameters: propeller diameter, blade number, expanded blade area ratio and pitch ratio.
The propeller’s open water table used for the numerical computations has been provided by {{projectData.CompanyName}}. The self-propulsion prediction is based on this data.

6. Benchmarking
To assess the performance of the current design with other similar vessels a series of comparable designs have been selected from DNV's Ship Performance Simulator database. The performance of the alternative designs is scaled to feature the same displacement as the current design and thus allows a direct comparison. Delivered power (PD) is used as measure. The following plot(s) show the required power for the current design and the selected designs in an anonoymized form. More details on the benchmarking procedure is given in section 8: Ship Performance Simulator - Methods and Procedures.

.2 Conventions
.2.1 Coordinate systems
If not otherwise specified, the base coordinate system is right handed. Its origin is in the midship plane on the base line and at the aft perpendicular (AP). The positive X-Axis is pointing forward (to the bow) and the positive Z-Axis is pointing up. Thus, the positive Y-Axis is pointing to port side.
.2.2 Draft, heave and sinkage
Initial static drafts are specified positive, even though the ship is moved in negative z-direction from the base to the computational coordinate system. Dynamic heave motions however are given with respect to the computational coordinate system, i.e. a negative heave means a sinkage of the ship.
.2.3 Trim and trim angle
A trim in [m] is defined positive for a bow up trim and negative for a bow down trim. This is independent of the coordinate system and derived by:
TRIM = TA - TF
A trim angle is defined w.r.t. the coordinate system. I.e. in the standard base coordinate system a positive trim angle denotes a bow down trim.
.2.4 Hydrostatic and hydrodynamic reference length
With modern slender and (near) vertical stem designs, gently inclined buttock lines near the transom and a freely selectable aft perpendicular (AP), neither LPP nor LWL provide an unambiguous hydrodynamic and hydrostatic reference length. To ensure a consistent and unambiguous comparison of different hull forms the length of submerged hull (LOS) will be used here for the definition of:
CB, LCB (%LOS from LOS/2), L/DISPVOL³, Re, etc
LOS is defined as the distance from the most forward submerged point of the hull to the transom:
