Numerical simulations of turbulent flows around KCS have been performed to study the sensitivity of ship resistance to wall-adjacent grids and disclose the influence of near-wall treatment on the sensitivity of ship resistance. The resistance coefficients of viscous and pressure forces were compared when using realizable k-ε and SST k-ω turbulence models in structured and unstructured grids, respectively. The calculation of friction velocity was found to be mainly responsible for the reduction of viscous and total resistances when the height of wall-adjacent cells increased. Since the assumption of equilibrium state between turbulent production and dissipation was not met in a bulbous bow, it was more reasonable to iteratively calculate the friction velocity from empirical laws of the wall for near-wall treatment rather than explicitly estimate it from the turbulent kinetic energy.
