We develop and apply state of the art experimental procedures for model testing of ship resistance, powering performance, maneuverability, seakeeping of ships and floating platforms, wave impact on engineering structures, and coupled hydrodynamic-elastic behavior of floating fish farms.
We use the latest methods for flow visualization, pressure/force/acceleration/motion measurements, including two QUALISYS optical tracking systems, as well as CAD/CAM systems, including VISI, Rhinoceros (NURBS Modeling for Windows) for design/manufacture of complex 3D ship models, screw propellers models, etc.
We routinely use software for CDF analysis, preliminary ship design, hydrodynamic performance of ships and floating platforms, hull form optimization, generation of synthetic 3D images of navigation environment, simulation of ship dynamics in real navigation environment, modeling of waves, currents and sediments in rivers, river mouths, coastal bays and seas, and simulation of high water levels and floods.
