dc.description.abstract	A practical and robust method for evaluating the flow about a ship that steadily advances in calm water is developed. This method is validated via comparisons with experimental measurements for a broad range of ships and ship speeds. The important features of the flow around the hull of the ship --- notably the drag, sinkage and the trim experienced by the ship, the wave profile along the ship hull, and the pressure distribution at the hull --- are evaluated in the method, and compared with experimental measurements for validation purposes.
