INTRODUCTION
Ventilation system affects engine room equipment performance, lifetime and crew
working environment .
The aim of a well designed ventilation system implies:
To supply fresh air to engines for combustion purposes .
To remove unwanted heat from main engines , auxiliary generators , and other heat
sources .
To fix temperature in an exact interval so that crews can operate there .
Literature Review
There are few studies regarding on application of CFD in ventilation of marine engine rooms .Some of
those:
• Thermal profile of marine ship’s engine room through simulation techniques .
• 3-D simulation of ventilation system in a closed engine room using CFD .
• Ventilation analysis in a ship engine room .
Identify points with high level of heat concentration so that appropriate ventilation system can
be designed in order to realize a proper temperature condition .
Research Objectives
To develop a CFD model to compute the temperature field by designing the
most suitable ventilation system for inland cargo vessel .
To develop air flow rate in the engine room .
To ensure the even distribution of internal air flow rate and heat concentration
in the engine room .
METHODOLOGY
Governing equations used: Conservation of mass , momentum and energy laws .
RNG K-ἐ(Epsilon) model and Semi Implicit Method for Pressure Linked Equation(SIMPLE)
algorithm are used to solve the governing equations .
Soildworks and Star CCM+ simulation soft wares are used for simulation and CFD analysis .
Progress
Understanding the problem
Going through some related
research papers
Trying to develop an arbitrary model
