Recent progress in CFD for naval architecture and ocean engineering

An overview is provided of CFDShip-Iowa modeling, numerical methods and high performance computing(HPC), including both current V4.5 and V5.5 and next generation V6. Examples for naval architecture highlight capability and needs. High fidelity V6 simulations for ocean engineering and fundamental physics describe increased resolution for analysis of physics of fluids. Uncertainty quantification research is overviewed as the first step towards development stochastic optimization.
