The wind resistance of a model of a large container ship was investigated experimentally and numerically under various conditions to investigate the aerodynamic performance and identify approaches for reducing wind resistance. The container ship model with and without six types of forecastle fairing was tested in a wind tunnel under conditions of full load and various uneven loads in different wind directions. The model test found that a specially designed forecastle fairing and certain container configurations are effective in reducing wind resistance. Then, a numerical simulation was performed to investigate the characteristics of the flow field around the test model. The comparisons and analyzes of the pressure distribution, streamlines, and vortex structure illuminate the mechanism of load reduction caused by the forecastle fairing and container configurations that are useful for reducing wind resistance. The optimization of a container ship for wind resistance is dominated by the effect of the container configuration; the contributions of forecastle fairing are secondary. When the overall effects of forecastle fairing and container configuration are considered, the streamlined load is the variant most optimized for wind resistance.

对大型集装箱船模型的风阻在各种条件下进行了实验和数值研究，以研究空气动力学性能并确定降低风阻的方法。在满载和不同风向的各种不均匀载荷条件下，在风洞中测试了有和没有六种艏艏整流罩的集装箱船模型。模型试验发现，专门设计的艏楼整流罩和某些集装箱配置可有效降低风阻。然后，进行数值模拟以研究测试模型周围的流场特性。压力分布、流线、和涡流结构阐明了由前艏整流罩和集装箱配置引起的减载机制，这些结构有助于减少风阻。集装箱船的抗风优化主要受集装箱配置的影响；艏艉整流罩的贡献是次要的。当考虑到前厅整流罩和集装箱配置的整体影响时，流线型负载是风阻最优化的变体。
