Study on the influence of full row layout of two bays on container wind resistance based on CFD

In order to reduce the wind resistance of containers on the deck of a partially loaded ship, the layout of the containers on the container ship was adjusted, the width of two rows of containers was increased to make them full, and they were set at different positions on the deck. CFD technology was used to perform numerical simulations under various working conditions, and the wind load was studied to obtain the resistance coefficient under various working conditions. The results show that under the condition of positive headwind, most double-shell full-row layouts can reduce the resistance coefficient of containers, and the resistance reduction rate is different at different positions.
