... In both cases, the boundary of the potential flow domain is determined by the displacement body. This kind of approach may cause some difficulties when dealing with full-form hulls and transom sterns, where the definition of the displacement thickness is not an easy task, especially when boundary layer separation occurs.

... , a non-overlapping domain decomposition scheme was used. The values of the tangential component of the velocity and the pressure of the potential field at the matching surface were used as boundary conditions for the Navier-Stokes solver, while the normal component of the viscous solution was used as Neumann condition in the potential flow.

... Further numerical experiments are needed to analyze the dependence of the solution on the grid refinement and on the thickness of the viscous region. Moreover, in the viscous region, the wave amplitude is rather underestimated: this problem might be solved by a grid refinement, or by a more accurate implementation of the free surface boundary conditions for Navier-Stokes equations.

... Since this technique eliminates the dispersion error and wave damping associated with the upstream differencing, SLAW's free surface solution is more suitable for the present zonal calculation than many other free surface potential flow methods.

We shall briefly describe the general ized RANS method in the following: Consider the nondimensional Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible flow in a orthogonal curvilinear coordinate system (at, x2, x3, t)
From page 346...
... Any face can be divided into sub-sections that match different blocks, or that can be assigned different boundary conditions. Each block is allowed arbitrary dimension and orientation as long as the assembly of all blocks covers the entire solution domain.
From page 347...
... The iteration between the RANS and the SLAW solutions is done by constructing an imaginary SLAW solution boundary (inner matching boundary) which lies outside the viscous boundary layers and wakes, but still embedded in the RANS solution domain.
From page 348...
... In the initial phase of this study, the free surface boundary conditions in RANS domain were also linearized to simplify the coupling between the RANS and potential flow methods. Within the context of the linear wave theory, the dynamic and kinematic free surface boundary conditions were specified at the mean free surface of the RANS solution domain.
From page 349...
... For nonzero Froude number calculations, it was necessary to adjust the solution domain to conform with the exact free surface profiles. As noted earlier, this was achieved by stretching only the upper portion of the coordinate surfaces beneath the free surface once the new wave profile is obtained from the integration of kinematic free surface boundary conditions.
From page 350...
... The interactions between the viscous boundary layer and free surface flows completely altered the potential flow wave profiles in the stern and wake regions. In particular, the free surface waves decay very quickly along the wake centerline due to the convergence of low momentum fluid towards the ship stern and the centerplane of the wake.
From page 351...
... In potential flow calculations of low Froude number free surface flows, very fine panels and prolong simulation time are often required in order to resolve the short wavelength, small amplitude free surface waves observed at low speeds. Since the interaction between the far field free surface waves and the viscous boundary layers and wakes becomes quite weak at low Froude numbers, it is possible to neglect the free surface wave effects on the RANS outer boundary without significant ef fects on the viscous free surface flows in the near field.
From page 352...
... Double-Body Results In order to facilitate a direct comparison of free surface wave effects between low and high Froude numbers cases, we shall present both the Fr = 0.160 and 0.316 results in the same plots. Furthermore, comparisons will also be made with double body solutions for more detailed examinations of complex interactions between the turbulent boundary layers, ship wakes and nonlinear free surface waves.
From page 353...
... It is also seen from perspective views shown in Figures 15 and 16 that the nonlinear free surface waves induced very strong pressure gradients, both in the longitudinal and transverse directions. The presence of these wave-induced pressure gradients have led to significant modifications of the viscous boundary layer and wake flows shown in Figures 13 and 14.

... method and the free-surface potential flow calculations has been developed for the prediction of ship flows including both the viscous and nonlinear free-surface wave effects. In this zonal approach, the RANS method is employed to resolve the viscous boundary layer, wake and the nonlinear free-surface waves around the ship hull while the potential flow method is used to provide the wave information outside the viscous region.
