Abstract
In this study, the computational results for KRISO Container Ship (KCS)
are presented. CFD analyses are performed to simulate free surface flow
around KCS by using RANS approach with success. Also the complicated
turbulent flow zone behind the ship is well simulated. The RANS
equations and the non-linear free surface boundary conditions are
discretized by means of a finite volume scheme. The numerical
methodology is found to be appropriate for simulating the turbulent flow
around a ship in order to estimate ship total resistance and free
surface. By the numerical results, total resistance is calculated for
the ship model and the result is satisfactory with regard to the
experimental one. As a result of well captured free surface, the wave
elevation on/around the hull is compared with the experimental results
