... Kodama Ship Research Institute Tokyo, Japan Abstract Grid generation for ship hulls and a propeller blade was made using the geometrical method, where an initial grid is modified iteratively under several geometrical requirements such as orthogonality, smoothness, and clustering. Using the generated grid, the computation of the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations was made for flows past a flat plate and four different ship hull forms using the IAF scheme and the Baldwin-Lomax zeros equation turbulence model.

... In Chapter 2, the NS solver is described, with dis- where cussions on the conservation property, boundary con- ~ F = IF + (YG + (ZH ditions, and the turbulence model. In Chapter 3, the ~ J J J geometrical grid generation method is described, where ~ G = 92 F + ~9 G + my H the use of bi-cubic splines for representing a body sur- ~ J J J face geometry is explained.

... 2-1, where the area covered by a discretized governing equation at a grid point is shown hatched, all the numerical flux terms are evaluated at halfway between the grid points, and therefore cancel out when they are summed up, thus the global conservation holds. The added numerical dissipation terms, having constant coefficients, cancel out when they are summed up, and therefore do not affect the conservation property.

... 3.2 Total Grid After the surface grid is generated, intermediate grid points, which are the points between the inner and outer boundaries, are generated, by simply connecting the corresponding points on the inner and outer boundaries with a straight line, and disributing points on it. Then the initial grid is modified iteratively under the same geometrical requirements as those used in the surface grid modification.

... The difference from the ~ = 1.0 result is small, which implies that the value ~ = 1.0 in Case 2 is small enough such that the added numerical dissipation terms do not affect the computed result. The figure (b)

... The NS solver used is the IAF scheme, where the pseudo-compressibility is introduced in the continuity equation, in order to make the system of equations hyperbolic. The accuracy and convergence of the computed results were tested by computing flows rising different numl:>er of grid points, or using different amount of the added numerical dissipation terms.
