    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
