Platform Supply Vessel Aim: The optimisation of a new Platform Supply Vessel hull for a Dutch shipping company on the 10 knots speed range in light and heavy displacement condition. This optimisation was carried out for the Dutch shipping company Vroon under the banner “ShipOpt”, a successful joint venture between Rodrigo Azcueta of Cape Horn

Volvo Ocean Race – Hydrodynamic In hull shape studies we use fully appended models with a reference set of rudders, keels and foils. The position of each appendage shifts to match the shape of each candidate hull. For example, the rudders will change angle slightly to remain perpendicular to the hull surface on each hull. For appendage studies

Volvo Ocean Race – Seakeeping Finally, a set of seakeeping simulations are performed to investigate the dynamic behavior of the final candidate hulls. These simulations ascertain that what is good in calm water does not become detrimental in waves. Due to the nature of these time consuming simulations, only regular waves are usually considered. To analyze a

Motor Yacht Hull Investigation: Menorquin 12m The Barcelona Yacht Design Group requested Cape Horn Engineering to analyse the resistance of the new 12m Monorquin motor yacht by means of state-of-the-art CFD simulations. In this particular case study 4 different hull shapes were investigated at the full range of operational speeds. For these virtual towing tank

Volvo Ocean Race – Aerodynamics In aerodynamic simulations we model all geometry above the static water plane, including the sails, mast, boom, deck and hull. The rig is tilted to the correct attitude accurately modeling heel, pitch and yaw. A varying wind profile is used to account for the boundary layer along the surface of

Wide and Light Project The Wide and Light Project was promoted by the Sailing Yacht Research Foundation (SYRF). Its purpose was to provide an insight into the accuracy of existing simulation codes to predict the performance of typical modern wide and light sailing yachts, and to equip handicapping systems and box rules with information to
