Steady Reynolds - Averaged - Navier - Stokes (RANS) equations were solved for the flows around a flat plate at Reynolds number of 2,8x10(6) and 5,5x10(6). The surface roughness effects were modelled as downward shift of the velocity profile at the log - law region of the boundary layer. Granville's similarity law was used to extrapolate the results for a full scale ship. Results are in good agreement with the previous experimental and numerical studies.trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAntifouling PaintShip ResistanceCFDSurface RoughnessArticle7431833110.5505/jems.2019.63644N/AWOS:0005773040000062-s2.0-85148433806339253Q3
