Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is now used to solve a wide range of maritime applications from resistance prediction to slamming loads calculation. While it may still lack the accuracy to match results obtained in real-life experiments, it can provide important insights into physical flow characteristics and offers an economic way to investigate a range of design options. Generic CFD codes often lack some features and capabilities needed to address specific maritime applications. The presence of the free surface provides a major departure from conventional CFD applications. The need to represent this fluid interface accurately presents a considerable challenge, not least because its behavior can vary considerably within the computational domain, and as a function of hull form and speed. While it might not yet be possible to develop a single CFD tool suitable for all maritime applications significant progress has been made in the past two decades towards the development of the 'numerical towing tank' and 'virtual basin or cavitation tunnel'. Research and development work is still ongoing to enhance their stability, accuracy, computational speed and to integrate CFD into the overall design process.
