more common, see for instance the analysis for the surface com-

two V&V studies the grids are coarser than those used in this study,
giving some confidence that the grid size is appropriate for these
types of computations.
For this case the solution is computed on the Earth reference sys-
tem, so all the grids actually advance forward as the computation
progresses, but the refinement grids for the wake and free sur-
face and the background grid are restrained from pitch and heave
motions.

also in Fig. 6 the presence of two small bilge vortices approaching

of the propeller where the loads are small.
The boundary layer represented by slices colored with axial
velocity limited to U = 1.5 for Case 1 is shown in Fig. 7. The boundary
layer remains attached and uneventful until it reaches the hull con-
traction near the stern, where it thickens dramatically, resulting on
a wake factor at the propeller plane of about 0.7 [1]. A cross section
at 80% chord of the rudder shows clearly the high momentum wake
of the propeller as it interacts with the rudder, and the deviation up
on the port side and down on the starboard side. It is also evident
the presence of the already described strong horseshow vortex that
exhibits low momentum at its core. Downstream a low-momentum
wake is observed near the free surface, but the upward momentum
created by the interaction of the propeller with the port side of
the rudder keeps climbing, forming a wake composed of two low-
speed regions separated by a finger of the high-speed wake of the
propeller.
