An extensive campaign of model and full scale experimental tests and numerical computations is being undertaken within the framework of the Project “SOPHYA - Seakeeping Of Planing Hull YAchts”, co-financed by Friuli-Venezia Giulia Region in the field of joint industrial and academic research. The project is aimed at the prediction and optimization of the hydrodynamic performances of a 65 ft motoryacht by MonteCarlo Yachts SpA in calm water and in waves. In this paper, selected results of the numerical computations for the calm water case, conducted jointly by HyMOLab-University of Trieste and by the University of Zagreb, are presented. RANS, Volume-of-Fluid and Level Set simulations are carried out in combination with an automatic mesh-generation tool, developed in this project within the OpenFOAM/foam–extend frameworks. The numerical results are compared with experimental data obtained within the project at the towing tank of the University of Naples.
