Ship design – optimization of hydrodynamics
- Short description
- What it includes
- Why it matters
Short description
Hydrodynamic optimization improves how water flows around the ship. It aims to reduce drag and improve propulsion efficiency under real operating conditions.
What it includes
- Hydrodynamic analysis during ship design or retrofit
- Optimization for typical speeds and loading conditions
- Reduction of resistance caused by flow separation
Why it matters
Better hydrodynamics directly reduce fuel consumption and emissions.
