... Sundaram NASA Langley Research Center Hampton, USA Abst ract A second-order accurate, implicit, high resolution upwind scheme has been used to solve the three-di~nensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations in general curvilinear coordinates for the steady-state computation of the flow field around axisym~netric hull geometries at high Reynolds numbers. A hybrid algorithm with relaxation in the streamwise direction and approximate factorization in the crossflow plane is used to reduce the temporal splitting error.

... The artificial compressibility parameter,6 monitors the error associated with the addition of the unsteady pressure terns If in the continuity equation which is needed for coupling the mass and momentum equations in order to make the system hyperbolic. For large values of,0 or when the solution of Eq.

... III. Numerical Flux Differencing It is well known that upwind schemes possess an inherent solution-adaptive dissipation that eliminates the addition and fine tuning of artificial dissipation terns for numerical stability and accuracy required in schemes based on central diIferencing.

... The knowledge of the effective flow profile near the propeller plane and the amount of the added drag is essential for designing an efficient propulsor. In the past, extensive efforts have been made to study the interaction between a propeller and a thick boundary layer experimentally and computationally (4,5,C,7,8,17,184.

... To obtain a converged solution with the propeller model included, it does not require snore iteration steps in comparison with the case without including a propeller model. The method was also shown to simulate low speed vertical flow with good results.
