... Pressure and velocity components near the stern region were obtained computationally and are shown to compare favorably with the experimental data. The method correctly predicts the existence and extent of stern flow separation for the barebody and the absence of flow separation for the three other configurations with ring wing and/or propeller.

... The propeller plane is located at 135 cm from the nose. The water tunnel in which the experiments were conducted has a square cross-section with round corners and its dimensions are 90 cm x 90 cm.

... The L2 norm of the residual is often used as a measure of convergence of a solution. Letting the flux Jacobians A, B arid C be defined as follow A i3E" B OF" C JIG" - Em' - Ad' - 'am' discretize the inviscid and viscous fluxes according to upwind differencing scheme and central differencing scheme respectively in (, ~ and r1 coordinate direction independently and then assemble them together.

... depends upon the inflow at the propeller plane which in turn is influenced by the blade circulation. This mu tual dependency implies that the body forces f be and f be which are functions of G(r)

... Computational results are presented in the form of velocity profiles and pressure contours in the stern region; they are compared with available experimental data. In addition, to facilitate the flow visualization and discussion, computed particle trace are also included.

... AUTHORS' REPLY The differencing scheme presented in this paper is based on hyperbolic formulation, assuming that at high Reynolds numbers the behavior of Navier-Stokes equations becomes hyperbolic-like. At present, the solver has been used to simulate flow at Reynolds number 15 X 106.
