Numerical Calculations of the Potential Flow About the Wigley Hull,

Abstract

The objective of our study is to develop a numerical method to solve directly the potential equation for the full nonlinear ship wave problem. In a sense, we attempt to design and construct a numerical towing tank to measure the potential flow field around a ship of arbitrary shape.
