� Fast, efficient, reliable and safe maritime transportation systems and

� Sustainable, environment friendly operation

Both rely on the best possible hydrodynamic properties of the ships which provide the backbone of the transport chain.

� Allows to assess all (hydrodynamic) effects on ship performance

� Analyse areas for improvements � And can hence be used to optimise

designs:

For a long time all kind of hydro-analysis was performed by model tests.Numerical modelling suffered from complex physics and insufficient accuracy.This lead to many tailor made solutions for “sub” problems.Even modern general purpose flow codes address marine problems with very particular approachesMany new Developments aim at use in Optimisation processes

� What are the drivers for our developments?

� What can CFD do to help?

… global shipping operations are responsible for emitting

1.2 billion tonnes of CO2, equivalent to 4.5% of worldwide emissions …

Sulphur is the next big thing …

Hydrodynamic / Form optimisation yields improved results

Added benefits in terms of power requirements and cost,and emissions -> environmental aspects

The Virtual Towing Tank

� Minimal resistance at a given speed.

��

� Lowest possible power required.� Lowest fuel consumption.� Minimised Operational cost.

� Minimised environmental effects.

• VIRTUE has delivered significant advances in terms of accuracy of CFD predictions in all areas addressed.

• This is a prerequisite for the application of CFD methods in automatic optimisations.

• VIRTUE will deliver a set of “Best Practice Guidelines” from all WPs.

• The VIP has been successfully applied to several applications and offers a large potential for future exploitation.

• The project partners aim at further developing and establishing this as a general CFD analysis platform.

• The “Virtual Towing Tank” will not come as a “Black box”.
