The calculations were executed by means of FLUENT computer software. Turbulent free-surface flow of viscous liquid was considered. In this paper the calculated values of barge hull resistance split into bow, cylindrical and stern part components, have been compared and presented. %K inland waterways ship %K hull resistance %U http://versita.metapress.com/content/4632513505420716/?p=2adca3dfee6543fab653711371b49a60&pi=1
