hull models??
 

Can anyone plz tell me as to where i can get 3d CAD models of the different hull types to do flow analysis and to test our own solver created using UDF in FLUENT?

Try this one:

It's a stardard hull form used a lot for validation and verification.

There's also the CFD Workshop from Stockholm and Tokyo where they used a model from a tanker to study various conditions but can't find the link. Watch this space!

Hope it helps,
