This paper presents applications of isotropic and anisotropic turbulence models in computation of ship boundary-layer and wake flows. The fully-elliptic Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes and continuity equations are solved with several kinds of turbulence models, using a regular grid, finite-analytic discretization, and a PISO-type velocity-pressure coupling algorithm. An overview is given of the present numerical method, and results are presented and discussed of the SR196a tanker form, including detailed comparisons with available experimental data. Lastly, some concluding remarks are made concerning limitations, requirements and prognosis for improvements of the present turbulence models.
