Modern methods in ship structure analysis
Author Leo SiipolaPosted on
Simulations are used commonly in ship design. Finite element simulations, for example, are used in the dimensioning of ship structures and systems, while computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations can be used in hull design to minimise ship drag and thereby reduce fuel consumption. CFD is also applied in propulsion design and propeller dimensioning. In this article, I discuss the use of simulations and finite element analysis in ship design.
