The Slightly Compressible Flow formulation is applied to the free-surface, threedimensional turbulent flow around a Wigley hull. Two turbulence models (Large Eddy Simulation and Baldwin-Lomax) are used and compared. The simulation conditions are the ones for which experimental and numerical results exist. The computational grid is built using an algebraic grid generator with the model fixed in space. The codes use the interface-capturing technique for computing the free surface displacements and the Beam & Warming scheme for marching in time the numerical model. The results compare well with the experimental data available.
