As discussed in Chap. 10.1007/978-3-030-47475-1_2, inland vessels have more complex rudder configurations than seagoing ships. Currently, the rudder profile, the number of rudders, and the spacing between rudders are not considered in the empirical methods for rudder force calculation. To analyze the impacts of the rudder configurations on inland vessel maneuverability, the hydrodynamic characteristics, for instance, lift and drag coefficients, of each configuration need to be calculated specifically. Considering the scaling effects and high cost of model tests, one of the Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) methods, the Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) method is applied to analyze the hydrodynamics of rudders in different configurations.
