<p>Optimizing the ship’s resistance is an important method of reducing fuel consumption and improving the energy efficiency of ships. The wind resistance of container ships is much higher than that of other ships and is an important part that cannot be ignored. For container ships, the addition of a fairing at the bow has a significant effect on wind resistance. Aiming at a fully loaded container ship normally sailing at a certain speed at sea, the wind resistance, wave-making resistance, and total hull resistance of the ship are calculated using CFD technology through the hull superposition model and multiphase flow VOF method. The effects of different wind speeds on the ship’s resistance and the drag reduction effect of the fairing based on the wind resistance and the whole ship when encountering different wind speeds under a positive windward direction are studied, and the drag reduction principle of the fairing is analyzed. The results show that the wave-making resistance increases with the increase in wind speed; the fairing has the effect of guiding and delaying the flow separation; and it effectively reduces the pressure difference resistance and the frictional resistance in the front and rear of the ship. The drag reduction effect of the fairing based on wind resistance is maintained at about 40%, and the drag reduction effect of the whole ship of the fairing can reach the highest 2.91% under the wind speed of grade 8.</p>
