CFD hull modelling
Computational Fluid Dynamics modelling of wake fields and wave-making resistance.
Technology — 03
Hydrodynamics
Hull resistance, waves, and added-resistance modelling — the physical foundation beneath every propulsion and voyage-optimisation prediction.
We build hull resistance models using both Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and analytical methods such as Holtrop-Mennen resistance theory, mapping flow lines, wake fields, and wave-making resistance across draft and trim conditions.
Architecture
Analytical resistance methods
Holtrop-Mennen and related analytical resistance theory for real-time computation.
Added resistance in waves
Modelling how sea state increases resistance beyond calm-water conditions.
Biofouling & roughness tracking
Estimating added resistance from marine growth and hull roughness over time.
