Ship Hydrodynamics

• Is available for new and converted ships as a part of the project development by inquiry of shipowner or general design organization.
• Volume and quality of our services do not yield to the hydrodynamic laboratories equipped with large towing tanks, aerodynamic and cavitation tunnels.
• In order scheduling, volume of available information and cost we grant the Customer significant advantages with the help of, first of all, application of the most recent methods of computational fluid dynamics (CFD).

• Propulsion research is usually executed at design stage for well-founded selection of prime mover and ship speed prognosis. Displacement vessels, barge push-trains, floating objects, high-speed gliding vessels can be the objects of research.
• We suggest service package including:
• - towing resistance determination;
• - determination of characteristics of interaction between hull and propulsors;
• - determination of open-water characteristics of propulsors.
• 
• Researches are performed by our experts at high scientific and technical level with application of state-of-the-art CFD methods and conventional practical standards of analysis and representing of results. Any type of service can be escorted by search of optimization ways according to the wishes of the Customer.

• This is a name of our programme of operational profitability improvement of cargo vessels by means of fuel costs decreasing.
• Our experience shows that fuel costs of the most part of existing vessels can be significantly reduced with the help of relatively small modernization of the propulsion system oriented on more rational usage of prime mover's power.
• The greatest profit of the propulsion tuning application takes place in cases when current operational conditions considerably differ from designed conditions. For example, when conversion with cargo capacity enlargement or changing of designation were made.
• At the same time, our research and development capabilities in the field of ship hydrodynamics also allow to reach the positive effect in cases when propulsion system has no obvious defects by means of nonconventional energy-saving devices.
• Expected economic benefit due to performed works is always evaluated and coordinated with the Customer preliminarily.

• In the field of ship hydrodynamics we render a wide range of consultation services. The services are often connected with obtaining of independent information about exact characteristics of fuel consumption of the power plant.

• Our company has a unique experience in solution of ship hydrodynamics tasks for navy engineering.
• We are ready to suggest the solutions of both conventional hydrodynamics tasks, which are similar for navy and merchant vessels, and specific tasks connected with aerodynamics of upperworks, smoke screening and heat radiation, systems of exhaust fluid cooling and many other problems.
