SHIPFLOW 8.0 Released

SHIPFLOW 8.0

We are happy to announce that the new major release of SHIPFLOW, version 8.0, is now available for download. The new Multi-Fidelity CFD simulation software is optimised for modern workflows.

NEW APPLICATIONS

  • Multi-Fidelity simulations for performance prediction of wind assisted vessels
  • Aerodynamics of ships and wind propulsion simulations with RANS
  • Virtual Captive Test and manoeuvring derivatives for free sailing simulations

RANS

  • New flexible grid generator for hulls
  • Substantial update to the Overlapping Grids algorithm. More robust and accurate for complex geometries

MOTIONS

  • Wind propulsors with interaction models for Multi-fidelity simulations
  • Steady and unsteady atmospheric boundary layer wind models
  • External controller module interface for dynamic ship control
  • Calculation of vertical, horizontal and torsional bending moments in calm water and in waves
