Lifeboat launching under storm conditions

March 2011 | Hans Jørgen Mørch, Sven Enger, Milovan Peri?, Eberhard Schreck

SIMULATION Recent advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) have made it possible to perform simulations of lifeboat launching at full scale and under realistic initial and boundary conditions. Simulations also allow an investigation of the effects of changes in hull shape without having to make a physical model.
