FEA and CFD based Design and Optimization for Marine and Shipbuilding Industry
CFD Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI)

From the design and manufacture of small recreational craft to large oil tankers, using FEA- and CFD-based simulation, OLTRION assists shipbuilders and boat designers to develop higher-performing, safer and lower-cost vessels.

Through the application of simulation technology and consulting services, OLTRION helps the marine and shipbuilding industry solve complex engineering challenges and mitigate environmental risks associated with seagoing loads including structural, hydrodynamics, vibro-acoustics, thermal and fatigue.

OLTRION has a staff of highly qualified engineers and naval architects who have maintained leading-edge know-how and development skills. Our engineers have rich experience in computer modeling of structures and in the application of linear and non-linear (implicit and explicit) finite element codes, together with advanced CFD tools coupled to FEA for precise, near-real-time modeling of complicated floating structures that experience FSI across a wide range of engineering problems.

OLTRION has a proven track record in structural analysis, marine investigation and surveying. We employ the most advanced computational tools to meet almost any analysis need, including:

  • ▶ Global and detailed direct structural assessment (FEM, Finite Element Method), including verification of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer (FRP) structures for boats
  • ▶ Performance prediction based on Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis
  • ▶ CFD studies for optimization of appendages and other hull elements
  • ▶ Fatigue assessment studies
  • ▶ Modal and vibration analyses
  • ▶ Seakeeping and seaworthiness assessment
  • ▶ Maneuvering studies
  • ▶ System simulation and performance evaluation
  • ▶ Marine surveying, reporting, and damage investigations
  • ▶ Tie-down structural calculations and approval
  • ▶ Collision investigation: modeling and analysis

The wider discipline

Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI)

Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) calculations allow the mutual interaction between a flowing fluid and adjacent bodies to be calculated. This is necessary since all real structures are flexible, especially those that are large or subject to high fluid loads. The body forces generated by fluids flowing are highly sensitive to the shape and curvature of adjacent surfaces. By coupling a CFD solver and the FEA solver, the deformation of a body resulting from the fluid loads and the subsequent modification of the flow field due to the newly deformed geometry …
