MARINE CFD 2008
26 - 27 March 2008, Southampton, UK
Second Notice
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is an increasingly important tool for analysing
flows around ships and propulsors. It is used to solve a wide range of maritime
applications from resistance prediction to slamming loads calculation. It can
provide important insights into physical flow characteristics and can offer an
economic way to investigate design options.
Generic CFD codes often lack some features and capabilities needed to address
specific maritime applications. The presence of the free surface provides a
major departure from conventional CFD applications. The need to represent this
fluid interface accurately presents a considerable challenge, not least because
its behaviour can vary considerably within the computational domain, and as a
function of hull form and speed.
Advances in computer technologies over the past two decades are slowly turning
the dream of the complete numerical towing tank or 'virtual basin' into a reality.
However, today's methods still lack the accuracy to match results obtained in
real-life experiments. While it is unlikely that a single CFD tool suitable for all
applications will be developed, there are many synergies that could be better
exploited. The three major requirements for practical engineering applications are
computational speed, accuracy and integrated into the overall design process.
This International conference will offer delegates an opportunity to meet and
discuss the latest developments and practical marine application of CFD. The
programme will also include software workshops which will give delegates a
chance to participate in and discuss demonstrations of the latest CFD software.
Papers will cover such areas as:
• Practical applications of CFD techniques to marine design
• Experimental and computational validation & benchmarking
• Improvements in automatic mesh generation
• Developments in adaptive grid generation
