Our services

Within the maritime sector, we primarily provide CFD simulation services tailored to design optimization, risk reduction and performance improvement.

Ship and yacht design

For vessels, we analyse a wide range of aspects beyond hydrodynamic hull design. Our simulations can evaluate exhaust gas dispersion around ships, optimise HVAC system performance for ventilation and cooling of interior spaces, and assess dynamic water behaviour, such as sloshing in pools or jacuzzis on luxury yachts.

We apply CFD simulations to:

• Analyse and optimise hull hydrodynamic performance
• Study exhaust gas dispersion and prevent exhaust air recirculation.
• Simulate dynamic water behaviour in pools and jacuzzis on luxury yachts
• Optimise indoor climate performance, ventilation efficiency and thermal comfort. Please visit Indoor climate and air quality for more information.

Ports, locks and hydraulic infrastructure

For ports and waterways, we simulate water flow behaviour in locks and harbour basins, optimise filling and emptying systems, and analyse wind patterns across port areas to improve operational safety and efficiency.

We support port authorities and hydraulic research institutes with:

• Simulation of water flow in ports, harbours and locks
• Optimisation of lock filling and emptying systems
• Assessment of extreme wind conditions affecting port operations and development of real-time wind flow insights for safer navigation and docking operations. Check out Real-time wind maps for ports and airports for more information.
• Calculation of wind loads on moored vessels as input for Dynamic Mooring Analysis (DMA)
