In order to verify the feasibility of STAR-CCM+ in handling the clam water taxiing problem of seaplane, capturing the kinetic characteristic of free surface by overlap mesh and Euler VOF method, and compare it with the experiment result. It shows that the simulation results are in good agreement with the experimental values, and the information of the flow field is well consistent with the actual phenomena. From qualitative and quantitative perspectives point of view, it is feasible to use STAR-CCM+ based on overlap mesh method to simulate the calm water taxiing of seaplane, a new method for predicting hydrodynamic performance of seaplane is provided.
