Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is established in design and analysis for a range of industries, but its use in Marine and Naval Hydrodynamics is behind the trend. This can be attributed to the complexity of modelling needs, including presence of free surface, irregular transient flows, fluid-structure coupling and presence of established modelling tools based on potential theory. In this paper, state-of-the-art of CFD in Naval Hydrodynamics, wave and offshore applications is given, with an update of recent advances, validation and computing requirements for typical simulation cases.
