CFD made its way into the maritime community a few decades ago and has since become an integral part of it. Thousands of calculations are conducted globally to design new hulls, optimise propellers, etc. The International Maritime Organization (IMO) provided significant encouragement in 2021 by officially recognising CFD as an alternative to model tests. However, it is important to validate CFD methods to make sure the simulations provide realistic results. This realisation led to the establishment of the JoRes Joint Research project in 2019. Within the JoRes project, the global community developed a collection of ship-scale validation cases consisting of seven vessels. The access to the website jores.net became public in December 2024, and there is an opportunity to participate in international workshops to validate your CFD methods. The conference presentation aims to delve into the background of the JoRes project, discuss the collected results, and suggest the best strategy for using them.
