CONCLUSIONS
1. Accuracy of numerical results
2. Savitsky method gives the best results for resistance and wetted surface (difference from
experimental in the order of 2%), while CFD calculations are more accurate than Savitsky method
for trim angle
3. Stagnation and spray root lines, Pressure profiles, Longitudinal pressure distributions evaluated
from CFD calculations are very close to results of Morabito method, Peaks and transversal
pressure distributions
4. Even though experimentation remains the tool most commonly used by designers to obtain
accurate values of the hydrodynamic forces acting on the boat, empirical methods are very
inexpensive and fast to use. Advantages of numerical simulations: the flow streamlines, the wave
profiles or the pressure distribution
