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
