Abstract To enhance the navigation efficiency of inland new-energy ships and reduce energy consumption and emissions, this study investigates wind load coefficients under 13 conditions, combining a wind speed of 2.0 m/s with wind direction angles ranging from 0° to 180° in 15° increments. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations, the wind load is decomposed into along-course (CX) and transverse (CY) components, and their variation with wind direction is systematically analyzed. Results show that CX is maximal under headwind (0°), decreases approximately following a cosine trend, and reaches its most negative value under tailwind (180°). CY peaks at More >
