A comparison between sea trial measurements and full–scale CFD results is presented for two self–propelled ships. Two ships considered in the present study are: a general cargo carrier at Froude number Fn=0.182 and a car carrier at Fn=0.254. For the general cargo carrier, the propeller rotation rate...
