A large-domain approach for calculating ship boundary layers and wakes and wave fields for nonzero Froude number (Q1815962)

A large-domain approach is developed for calculating ship boundary layers and wakes and wave fields for nonzero Froude number. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are solved with the Baldwin-Lomax turbulence model, exact nonlinear kinematic and approximate dynamic free-surface boundary conditions, and a body/free-surface conforming grid. The results are validated through comparisons with data for the Series \(60\text{ C}_B=0.6\) ship model at low and high Froude numbers, and with results of a precursory interactive approach.
