SHIPFLOW 6.3.01 - new release
SHIPFLOW 6.3.01
SHIPFLOW version 6.3.01 is now available for downloaded from our home page, www.flowtech.se. Here are the major news:
- The computational times for the SHIPFLOW RANS/VOF solver are reduced considerably
- The updated version of SHIPFLOW MOTIONS is improved in terms of accuracy and computational speed
- SHIPFLOW Design is based on CAESES 4.2.1
See article SHIPFLOW 6.3 for more information.
Optimization of ship sterns - part 1
Resistance and propeller efficiency
The first published article in a series of articles on shape optimization of ship sterns with CFD has been released. It demonstrates the importance of optimizing for the delivered power rather than the resistance which can be misleading. This requires the computations of the self propulsion with CFD that can be very computational demanding. However, it is shown that with the new fast solver in SHIPFLOW 6 the optimizations can be performed on a modern workstation or in a small cluster.
The article is called Optimization of ship sterns – part 1 and can be found in under the menu Cases.
