Shear-stress transport k-w turbulence model and multiphase volume of fluid (VOF) free surface employed. The resistance characteristics and wave profile of the LNG model also investigated. Model tests were conducted in towing tank for validation of the computed results. Overall results agree fairly well with experimental data, reveals the feasibility of RANS method in practical prediction of LNG resistance characteristics. ## Keywords - Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations - Volume of fluid method - Computational fluid dynamics - Towing - Mechanics - Turbulence - Liquefied natural gas - Reynolds stress - Marine engineering - Solver - Shear stress - Hull - Free surface - Fluent - Environmental science - Flow (mathematics) - Geotechnical engineering - Engineering - Natural gas - Physics - Computer science - Waste management - Programming language --- Sumber: Discover Unhas — RIMS Universitas Hasanuddin.
