The present study gives a Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based insight into the three-dimensional incident flow developed around a very large crude carrier ship during static drift motion. The research proposes a set of virtual Planar Motion Mechanism (PMM) tests of “static drift” type conducted for a number of seven drift angles in the range of -9o to +9o . The emergence and development of vortical structures along the 1:58 KRISO Very Large Crude Carrier 2 (KVLCC2) tanker model are examined and explained, the influence of the considered drift angles being highlighted.
