Abstract
Flow induced by a moving object beneath free surface is investigated by means of EFD-CFD hybrid analysis. Free surface profiles from experimental images are coupled with 2-D Navier-Stokes simulation in order to obtain the internal liquid flow structure that takes place during two-way interaction between free surface motion and the wake structure of the objects. Targeting of two types of objects, a circular cylinder and an elliptic hydrofoil, their drag and lift coefficients being modified by the presence of free surface have been estimated and discussed.
