%0 Journal Article %T The Numerical Simulation of Ship Waves using Cartesian Grid Methods %A Mark Sussman %A Douglas G. Dommermuth %J Physics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X Two different cartesian-grid methods are used to simulate the flow around the DDG 5415. The first technique uses a "coupled level-set and volume-of-fluid" (CLS) technique to model the free-surface interface. The no-flux boundary condition on the hull is imposed using a finite-volume technique. The second technique uses a level-set technique (LS) to model the free-surface interface. A body-force technique is used to impose the hull boundary condition. The predictions of both numerical techniques are compared to whisker-probe measurements of the DDG 5415. The level-set technique is also used to investigate the breakup of a two-dimensional spray sheet. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1410.1952v1
