An evaluation is performed of the surface-ship model-scale database for computational fluid dynamics validation with regard to current status and future requirements. The specific emphasis is on data of relevance to resistance and propulsion and validation of Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes computer codes. The data were evaluated relative to criteria and requirements developed for geometry and flow, physics, and computational fluid dynamics validation as well as past uses. Conclusions are made with regard to the available data and past uses, and recommendations are offered for future uses of the available data and future data procurement.
