Current trends in the investigation of ship hydrodynamics are reviewed with emphasis on the problem of wave‐body interaction. This includes the classical seakeeping problem and as a special case, the problem of prediction for the drag encountered by a ship advancing in calm water. Specific issues related to the numerical treatment of the air–water interface are examined, with emphasis on the modelling of wave breaking. The discussion on the large‐scale modelling of the flow around ships is focused on the prediction of wave loads, ship motions and resistance in calm water. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
