Ciortan, C., Wanderley, J. and Guedes Soares, C. (2006), “Free Surface Slow around Ship Hulls Using the Slightly Compressible Flow Formulation”, Proceedings of the 9th Numerical Towing Tank Symposium (NuTTS'06), 1-3 October, Le Croisic, França
The free surface flow around ship hulls is one of the most dynamic fields in CFD, due to its promising potential. The perspective of replacing (at least partially) the towing tank test is attractive due to the spared resources human, time and material, the first two being the most important. For the time being, transient simulations are little used, due to the high amount of computational and time resources required. Even using massive parallelization, time-domain runs are rarely used. Most of the codes simulating free surface flows use the Finite Volumes formulation for discretizing the flow equations (e.g., Hino; Kleefsmann). The Finite Volumes are seducing due to their ability of working on unstructured grids and to the easiness of the boundary conditions implementation.
