Abstract

This report describes the simulation of the air flow around the French research ship "Le Suroit", using the Computational Fluid Dynamics package "Vectis". The model was run for a wind speed of 14 m/s blowing directly over the bows of the ship. The effects of the disturbance to the air flow, caused by the ship's hull and superstructure, are calculated for an anemometer sited on a 10 m mast mounted well forward in the bows of the ship.
