OpenSHIP. The Project

High quality computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to predict the hydrodynamic performance of the propeller/hull system in an OpenSOURCE environment.

The OpenSHIP project is researching the application of open source software to the modelling of the propeller/hull system of ships.

The aim is to improve efficiency and reduce the design and installation costs of this system for shipbuilding companies, using High Performance Computing (HPC) and high-fidelity simulations of the movement of fluid around the hull and the propeller.
