Abstract

AbstractA Navier‐Stokes equation solver is developed for computing free surface wave and viscous flow around an arbitrary body, in which a free surface model is introduced into the pseudocompressibility solution. The governing equations are classified in a vectorial form, with primitive variables, and a block diagonal system is generated by the discretization of an implicit factorization method. A moving grid system fitted to both the free surface and body surface is generated by an effective cubic spline fitting technique. Two zero‐equation turbulence models, namely the Cebeci‐Smith model and the Baldwin‐Lomax model, are used for turbulent calculations. Numerical simulations are carried out for the free surface viscous flows generated by a submerged hydrofoil and a ship model. Computed results are in reasonable agreement with measurements.
