Looking back on over 20 years of experience in the industry, Cape Horn Engineering is an ideal project partner when it comes to analysing and improving the hydrodynamic or aerodynamic performance of vessels or structures using Computation Fluid Dynamics (CFD). We have an established reputation for solving some of the toughest challenges in the marine industry in a timely manner, always delivering excellent results.
OUR SERVICES
OUR SERVICES
CFD can be described as a virtual wind tunnel, or a virtual towing tank test. We use commercial software to run our simulations, which gives us a deeper understanding of how the flow physics are interacting with your design. The detailed data we gather are analysed and and interpreted by our experienced consultants. Our workflow is automated, which puts us in a position to run over 1000 simulations in one week. We are proud to have delivered numerous winning racing yachts to our clients. Our analyses have greatly reduced the fuel consumption and costs for our clients from the wider shipping industry. As a company we try to make a difference and take pride in being able to contribute to a cleaner planet through our work.
Yacht Racing
Cape Horn Engineering is currently at the core of a simulation based design campaign within the Land Rover BAR America’s Cup design team. In the recent past, our expertise helped 3 Sailing Teams win the famous around the world Volvo Ocean Race.
Ship Optimisation
Cape Horn Engineering has pioneered RANS based CFD from the very beginning. We have a proven track record servicing the wider marine industry, laying America´s Cup technology at your fingertips.
Renewables
The world needs to make a shift to renewable energies as soon as possible if it is to be a place worth living in for future generations. Thanks to our expertise in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics we can make a real difference to the performance of renewables.
