Hydrodynamics
Technical Bulletin 2016

Summary

Throughout their operational lives, marine and offshore structures are subjected to the constant action of water, waves, current and wind. Hydrodynamic simulation is essential in order to evaluate both the overall dynamic behaviors and the structural loading and responses of ships and offshore structures.

Significant progress has been made over the years. But challenges remain, with increasing demand for greater accuracy. The papers in this section are just the tip of the iceberg of Bureau Veritas marine & offshore hydrodynamics research.

The increasing relevance and versatility of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) stands out, with CFD having been used in the research presented in over half these papers. Thanks to recent developments, its use is no longer limited to sloshing and wave resistance. Sea-keeping and green water assessment are now achievable, while on the theoretical side, long-term research into forward speed problems is ongoing and will continue.
