... The distributions of transverse forces along the hull and the integrated moments about the center of buoyancy are computed and comparisons with the measurements are made. INTRODUCTION Purely for mathematical interest, the inviscid flow about a body of revolution has long since been formulated and studied in detail.

... BOUNDARY CONDITION The computational domain defined by a CO grid extends from two loony lengths upstream of the nose to two body lengths downstream of the tail in the longitudinal direction, and two loopy lengths from the body axis in the radial direction. On the loony surface, the no-slip condition 410

... In order to predict multiple secondary crossbow separations at high incidence angle, modification was made such that the turbulence length scale of the outer region is determined by the viscous vorticity imbedded in the boundary layer and not the inviscid vorticity shed from the separation line. The modified model has been successfully used in several occasions to compute the turbulent flows over bodies of revolution at an incidence angle (7,16,17~.
From page 412...
... The transverse forces along the hull at several incidence angles are shown in Figure 4. Notice that the integration of the areas underneath the curves gives the total normal forces acting on the hull.

From page 418...
... The authors use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods to calculate the fluid velocity in the propeller disc to deduce the Taylor wake fraction and the associated radial and circumferential distributions of wake.
From page 419...
... The eddy viscosity is calculated from the standard twoequation k-e model with convective transport equations for the turbulence kinetic energy and dissipation rate. All of the equations are written in dimensionless form, using a partial transformation, where only the independent coordinate variables are transformed from the physical domain to a logical computational domain.
From page 420...
... The method represents a major extension of ideas and techniques for twodimensional flows reported by Baliga and Patankar [83. Features held in common with method 1 include the application of the three dimensional RANS equations subject to the assumptions of steady, incompressible flow, and the eddy viscosity concept calculated from the convective transport equations for k and e.

... , which strays significantly from the experiment data, the Taylor wake fraction at the edge of the propeller disc (Figure 1) is predicted reasonably accurately.
From page 424...
... It must be emphasised that the only change to the datum run was the application of a set of no-slip conditions to those nodes closest to the wire; the grid and all other features remained the same. Finally, the volumetric mean wake fraction, w2, is listed in Table 6 for all the runs performed.
From page 425...
... . Although the crude approach adopted led to worse quantitative predictions of the nominal wake, it dramatically improved the qualitative prediction of the axial velocity contours.

... Extension to Multi-body Configurations The modelling of viscous flows around multiple cylinders has been investigated for the past decade. The validation has been essentially done by comparisons with experimental data for two identical circular cylinders of radius a spaced with a distance ~ between the centers.
