A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for surface-ship boundary layers, wakes, and wave fields is extended by incorporating into it the capability of predicting sinkage and trim. The method is described and results are presented for the naval combatant FF1052 and the Series 60, Cg = 0.6 parent hull. Resistance, sinkage and trim, and wave profile on the hull are compared between the calculations and the experimental data. The trends in the data are predicted correctly and there is also good quantitative agreement overall between the calculations and the data.
