Abstract: The hydrodynamic characterization of control appendages for ship hulls is of paramount importance for the assessment of maneuverability characteristics. However, the accurate numerical simulation of turbulent flow around a fully appended maneuvering vessel is a challenging task, because of the geometrical complexity of the appendages and of the complications connected to their movement during the computation. In addition, the accurate description of the flow within the boundary layer is important in order to estimate correctly the forces acting on each portion of the hull.
