Abstract

The design of ships and offshore structures is increasingly supported by sophisticated analyses. Traditionally, this design has been based on experience. This is still true to some extent, but increasingly we rely on ‘virtual experience’ from dedicated and well chosen simulations. Scope and depth of these simulations guiding our decisions in design and operation of ships have developed very dynamically over the past decade. We describe here the state of the art as reflected in our work, building on previous work for ships, Fach and Bertram (2006), Bertram and Couser (2007), Bertram (2008), but now with particular focus on fluid dynamics and applications for ocean engineering structures.
