Abstract The hydrodynamics of the waterjet propelled ships represents a challenging problem due to the complexity of the waterjet system itself and the waterjet/hull interaction. In this paper, the self-propulsion computations of a trimaran were performed by solving the unsteady RANS equations. The waterjet was simulated directly with multi-reference frame model to improve the precision of the numerical simulations. Mesh independence studies of the hull and waterjet were carried out individually. Numerical simulations with/without the waterjet were performed in a speed range of 0.196
