Abstract
► Investigation of wind forces on a large container ship as a function of container configuration on deck. ► Wind tunnel tests of a simplified 1:450 model of a container ship. ► Results serve as an indication of the magnitude of wind forces acting on large container ships. ► Streamlining can reduce the longitudinal force for head winds. ► Streamlining of the configuration on the aft deck is a trade-off as it increases the yaw moment.
