Hi,
I would like to know if a type of software exists...
I would like the software to act as a virtual hull performance testing
tank. Something that can have a basic hull design, perhaps some kind
of CAD software, that allows the drawing to be submerged into a
virtual water depth, and display the effect to water that a travelling
hull would do.
Any ideas where I should be looking for such software?
Something to run on Linux is preferable, but will take any directions
at this stage.
Thanks |

RK,
There are several hull design program packages out there, but those that
I know of (I have not done the search recently) were all hydrostatic
property and fairness evaluators. ProSurf from New Wave was one that I
evaluated.
What you seem to be looking for is a virtual towing tank package. The
last one of these that I knew of ran on a Cray. Mind you, what was the
domain of a supercomputer not very long ago may run on today's desktop.
Open channel CFD (computational fluid dynamics) is still not a simple
operation.
Good Luck

You might take a look at what Delftship - http://www.delftship.net/
offers. The core
program is available as a freeware download, and modules can be
purchased to do
additional computational tasks as the state of your project dictates.
Register and
download the docs, etc.
