CFD modelling for improved understanding of water-structure interaction

Almost since our establishment nearly 50 years ago, advanced physical and numerical modelling have been our core tools. With the help of these tools, we solve a range of hydraulic challenges related to marine and other types of structures in all kinds of water environments.

We initiated significant in-house Research & Development and utilisation of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) codes in the early 90’s. Thanks to the continued development and access to high performance hardware, CFD is now a powerful tool to provide detailed descriptions of the hydrodynamics around structures. We also use it as an engineering design support tool – often in combination with or as a supplement to physical model testing.

We are a research-based company, aiming to constantly develop and improve our methods and models. Our solutions are drawn from decades of experience in hydrodynamics and hydraulics as well as our global pool of knowledge, capturing the value of our expertise.

As such, we are confident that our efforts to constantly develop and apply CFD tools will continue to support our customers in finding and developing safe, solid and cost-efficient solutions.
