Ship and Ocean Fluid Engineering Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab studies the flow around objects moving in or on water to explore the relationship between hull form and performance.

AboutAbout the lab
Understanding the link between ship form and performance through flow
The Ship and Ocean Fluid Engineering Lab carries out education and research on the relationship between hull form and performance.
Using theory and CFD, the lab mainly clarifies the flow around vehicles moving in or on water.
To verify the results, the lab also develops experimental techniques, such as methods for obtaining normally invisible distributions of flow velocity and wave height from visualization images.
The lab also studies underwater vehicles and develops side-fin propulsors.
Key terms
- CFD
- Computational fluid dynamics. A method of studying flows by calculating them on a computer.
- Side-fin propulsor
- A type of propulsor for underwater vehicles. The lab studies the motion of the side fins to enable movements that are difficult with conventional propulsors.
ResearchResearch themes
The lab carries out education and research on the relationship between hull form and performance, and uses theory and CFD to clarify the flow fields around vehicles moving in or on water. It also develops experimental techniques for verification and studies side-fin propulsors for underwater vehicles.
