As a CFD engineer, suggest new solutions using CFD Applications:

he past Tuesday, a ship with specific dimensions (400 m) long and (59 m) width and with total weight = 224000 Ton, has blocked the Suez Canal causing a lot of Damage, can you use CFD to solve this problem?

Note:
Check attached images it will clarify more!

I'm fairly sure that the ship was parked there for a special reason :-)

And it is an easy hydrostatic problem. We just have to increase the density of the water.

Hi JBeike,
unfortunately it stocked there by accident and it stopped the ships move through the canal,

how can you increase the density in such open canal?!

Thanks

Just remove that bluff body from your simulation and let the fluid flow...

I might have come up with a solution. Unfortunately, it involves treating all boundaries as frictionless, and approximating the ship as a spherical body. So I think the solution proposed by JBeilke might be the more practical approach for now.

How do we call an accident that was announced more than 1 year ago?

It will not take much time for the whole world to find out if this theory is true or just a conspiracy :-)

I found this article interesting. Apart from the usual suspects of wind, visibility and other factors the article talks about shallow water effects leading to banking of the ship.
