摘要

Fuel optimization in maritime transportation has always been one of the primary concerns for shipping companies. In this study, we focus on improving the propulsion system of the KRISO Container Ship (KCS) vessel. Using the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software Star-CCM+, different rudder designs are evaluated to assess their effectiveness, and the optimal distance between the propeller and rudder is investigated. The results indicate that variations in rudder design and propeller - rudder spacing not only significantly reduce hydrodynamic resistance but also enhance the vessel’s maneuvering performance.
