MARINE FIRM’S CFD PHILOSOPHY

MARINE FIRM’s motto – Built on trust – is more than just words. We earn the trust of our clients by bringing only well-researched methods and models to the table. We’ve validated our CFD models time and again through model tests and full-scale ship trials. All in all, our rigorous quality assurance program is second to none.

Yet we never lose sight of resource and scheduling requirements. We do what it takes to deliver high quality services tailored to both the needs and the constraints of our clients.

THE CLIENT ADVANTAGE

You’ll get meaningful, reliable results based on proven methodologies and techniques finely tuned through years of real-world experience.

These results are produced by a team with an unbeatable combination of theoretical knowledge, practical experience and determination to stay at the forefront of emerging trends.

In fact, our clients praise our reliability. They comment on our helpful communication. They feel their input is valued. Above all, they’re impressed by the quality of the CFD service and product.

We trust you will be too.

HOW WE USE CFD

The main tool we use to work our CFD magic is SIEMENS Star-CCM+.

Some of our most common simulations investigate:

• ship hull resistance and powering calculations:
  • at full scale
  • including sinkage and trim at speed
  • including hull-propeller interaction
• hull form optimization and appendage alignment
• bubble sweep-down interference with gondola or sonar equipment
• airflow, including exhaust gas concentration/temperature and helideck turbulence.

We use both in-house and third party high-performance clusters to guarantee we can meet even the most demanding simulation or tightest schedule.
