Proceedings of the Workshop on Ship Wave-Resistance Computations Held at Bethesda, Maryland on 13-14 November 1979. Volume I
Abstract
The purpose of this Workshop is to evaluate existing computational methods for predicting the wave resistance, local flow fields, and wave patterns of ships advancing at constant speed in calm water. The focus is on the numerical predictions, per se, which will be compared with each other and with applicable experimental data for a number of hulls and Froude numbers which have been specified in advance to all participants. This focus is narrower in scope than the earlier, very important International Seminars on Ship Wave Resistance held at Ann Arbor in 1963 and Tokyo in 1976, and the International Conferences on Numerical Ship Hydrodynamics held at Gaithersburg in 1975 and Berkeley in 1977. In these meetings the emphasis was at least as much on the methods as on the numerical results, and common sets of hulls and data were not prescribed. It is our hope that the Workshop will establish a picture of the state-of-the-art of potential flow predictions of ship wave resistance and help to identify the needs for future research. To these ends the meeting has succeeded in bringing together a very large number of the world's leading researchers in wave resistance analysis. We are very grateful. (Author)
