Optimizing the design of ship propellers is of key importance for the marine industry, as it has a direct impact on operational costs through its influence on fuel consumption and ship performance. Even the smallest improvement in the design of the propellers can save ship operators millions of dollars across an entire fleet.

This case study demonstrates the aerodynamic simulation and optimization of an industrial quadcopter drone (UAV) in hover mode, the most energy intensive mode of this type of drone.

Flow solvers must be able to read the type of meshes behind them, and as most flow solvers only accept either structured or unstructured meshes, this is can be a no-win situation. However, within NUMECA's OMNIS™ environment, users can switch between meshing approaches in a single click.

The HiFi-TURB project, which is coordinated by NUMECA , sets out a highly ambitious and innovative work programme to address influential deficiencies in turbulence modelling.

Ship trim optimization has recently gained enormous momentum in the field of naval architecture. See how the unique features of FINE™/Marine contributed to obtaining a database of optimal trim angles quickly and with high accuracy.
