... Kajitani University of Tokyo Tokyo, Japan Abstract The improved version of the WISDAM-II method, a finite-difference solution method for a three-dimensional viscous flow about a ship of arbitrary configuration, is described. A zonal method is used for the boundary-fitted coordinate system so that the boundary layer is sufficiently resolved with proper boundary conditions on the body surface.

... to the imaginary transformed region R (E ~ ,$ 2,$ 3 ) , where the streamwise direction is approximately parallel to the ~ ~ direction, the lateral grid lines are approximately perpendicular to the ship hull surface are in the ~ 2 direction, and the grid lines parallel to the girth line of ship hull is the ~ 3 direction.
From page 121...
... Some simulations have shown excellent agreement with the averaged experimental results. But nobody so far answered several fundamental questions how the flow of the boundary layer is deformed to develops into wake and how is the transition from laminar to turbulent flow on the surface of the forepart of a hulL In order to investigate into the fundamental physical features of the turbulent flow around a ship, the authors employ a zonal method near the ship hull surface, and on the other hand adopt a computational procedure with SGS turbulence model, the latter of which is similar to large eddy simulation and is called LES-like procedure by the authors.

... is not very satisfactory since the flow is not f ully developed and f urthermore in the algebraic turbulence model used in this study the displacement thickness of the boundary layer is determined by the well-known Coles velocity profiles for the zero-pressure gradient [17] while the decelerated flow near the after end of ship is involves large pressure gradient.
From page 124...
... The use of zonal method described here will be one 124 of the promising approach. For the numerical simulation of the detailed viscous flows on the hull surface we must be very careful as suggested by the present test computations The zero-equation model ignores some of the Reynolds stresses which may not be sufficiently small in the real flow.
