An open source CFD solver has been adopted to calculate ship resistance and flow field at the propeller position of the KVLCC2 hull. The SST k-ù viscosity model used to predict the forces around hull. Free surface is captured using the VOF (volume of fluid) method. The ship hull is free to perform heave and pitch motions, so the trim effect on the hull resistance is also considered. The output results include resistance and flow field at the propeller point, which are compared against experimental data and also other numeric results. Iterative and parameter convergence studies are conducted using systematic parameter refinement to estimate numerical errors and uncertainties on resistance results. It is found that the ship resistances, velocity at the stern and wave profile around the hull are in a very good agreement against experimental data.
