Abstract
_ Ship maneuvering performance can be predicted using various methods, including physical model tests, rapid simulations using coefficient-based forces, and high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics. This article considers the application of computational fluid dynamics for the prediction of hull force coefficients to be used as inputs to rapid maneuvering simulations. The open-source software OpenFOAM was used to simulate forces on the destroyer model DTMB 5415 for steady drift, oscillatory pure sway motion, and oscillatory yaw motion. Recommendations are provided regarding best practices in a number of areas, including domain size, mesh refinement, time step size, and turbulent modeling. Predicted forces for steady drift angles up to 12 degrees are typically within 10%of experimental values. For oscillatory sway and yaw motions, predicted forces are typically within 25%of experimental values. Keywords maneuvering; OpenFOAM; best modeling practices

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
