Structures Design Including Hydrodynamics
Hydrodynamics CFD Simulation: Transient Resistance, Propulsion, Cavitation, Acoustics & Vibration, and Fatigue
Structures design, including hydrodynamics, is a crucial aspect of marine and offshore engineering. We utilize FEA and CFD software to provide engineers with innovative, flexible, and efficient solutions for designing and analyzing marine and offshore structures.
For example, FEA and CFD simulations can be used to design and analyze oil and gas production structures, such as topsides and jackets, as well as fixed offshore wind turbine support structures. By analyzing the hydrodynamic behavior of these structures, our engineers can optimize their design for maximum efficiency and safety.
FEA and CFD simulations can also be used to design and analyze ships and floating offshore structures, such as floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) vessels. These simulations can help our engineers determine the optimal design for stability, structural integrity, and performance in various sea conditions.
In addition, FEA and CFD simulations can be used to design and analyze mooring systems, dynamic stability of floating structures, risers, and offshore wind turbine supports. These simulations enable our engineers to evaluate the behavior of these structures under different loads and sea conditions, ensuring their safety and efficiency.

The wider discipline
Hydrodynamics CFD simulation
Hydrodynamics is a common application of CFD and a main core of OLTRION expertise. CFD allows the steady-state and transient hydrodynamics of hydrofoils, submersible vehicles, propellers, impellers, marine structures and marine plant to be computed with extremely high levels of accuracy. OLTRION's Engineering team provides analyses ranging from: ship keeping, slamming and sloshing, wave and wind loading on offshore and underwater structures, oil and pollutant dispersions to cavitation.
