In presence of a complex hydrodynamic phenomenon, a reliable investigation on
predicting the total resistance of the hydrofoil ship is obviously required. This project
present a Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) to predict the total resistance of the
hydrofoil in calm water. Several parameter such Froude number, angle of foil and the
location of foil with respect to her centre of gravity have been taken into account
accordingly. The result revealed that the subsequent increase of Froude number and
angle of the foil have led to gradually increase in her lift force. As a consequent, this
resulted in the significant reduction of the total resistance. In addition, the total
resistance has gradually reduced when the placement of the foil (moving forward) was
away from her centre of gravity.
