Calm water performance
Main features of a calm water simulation
- Viscous drag of full scale model
- Free-surface deformation: wave resistance, spray resistance, wave breaking resistance
- Dynamically changed sailing attitude (sinkage, trim and heel; planing condition; no restriction in Froude number)
- Propulsion modeled at different levels of complexity as required
- Decomposition of individual forces and moments for the hull and each appendage
- Flow visualization to gain insight and understanding about differences between designs
- Optimized pre and post processing, very efficient simulations that allow computation of large matrices of variations
