The prediction of hull resistance has become an important part in the ship design industry. There is also of interest to investigate the wave pattern of the hull to get desirable resistance properties. To make an accurate prediction of hull resistance is very essential because it related to choose an appropriate engine power of the propulsion unit. Thus, this research is to predict the performance of passenger ship hull model (MTC 092) which developed by Marine Technology Centre (MTC) by simulating wave patterns around this hull form. Secondly is to analyze the computed flow field which is expected to yield hull resistance and free-surface wave pattern which will be compared with the model testing results. Initially, a conceptual framework study of the predictions of wave pattern and hull performance by using OpenFOAM was done from previous research. Next, the passenger ship hull model is modelled by using FreeShip Plus. Then, the model is exported into the OpenFOAM by undergoing the resistance simulation to determine the wave pattern and resistance value respectively. The result in terms of hull performance is focusing on the resistance part which will be analyze using k-ω SST method and it will be compared with the resistance experiment result. The wave pattern of passenger ship hull model in simulation will be observed specifically on plan view. In conclusion, the contribution of this study be able to increase the type research by using OpenFOAM from previous study. The suggestion for ship design industry is that the using of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) toolbox in predict of the hull form performance shall be expanded in Malaysia so that they could improve their vessel design process, reduce the production time and cost.
