Numerical ventilation problem (NPV) is a problem that often occurs during the numerical simulations process. This problem mostly occurs when the vessel has a high Froude Number, causing inaccurate ship resistance predictions. Numerical ventilation can be considered as one of the major sources of error in numerical simulations that require further analysis. The present paper aims to validate a numerical resistance prediction using Fridsma’s hull form. An overset grid system is implemented in this study to solve using the Volume of Fluid method. The method for improving the accuracy of ship resistance prediction are refinement method, visualization method, and phase replacement method. In this paper, the RANS equation is used to describe the turbulence model using k-ε. On most occasions, the Volume of Fluid model uses multiphase Euler flow, assuming air and water as a phase. This research concludes that mesh refinement method is able to solve numerical ventilation problem with such a good result.
