1. CFD ( Weather News)

"Study of Trim Dependence for ship performance in the Actual Sea Conditions by computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations"

Nowadays, computational Fluid Dynamics ( CFD) simulation techniques are widely used in ship hydrodynamics applications and resistance analysis based on CFD simulations plays a decisive role in the development of new, eco-friendly ship hull forms. The purpose of this study is to analyze the trim effect on resistance and performance of ship by employing CFD simulation methodology. In the present study, the free surface flow around the Kriso Container Ship ( KCS) model without rudder is simulated first in even keel condition using the RANS solver Fluent. The mesh, boundary conditions, and solution techniques are validatedby comparing the computed resistance value to experimental value in even keel condition. . As a result, a reasonable agreement is found. Afterwards, the Validated mesh, boundary conditions, solution techniques are employed to estimate the resistance of KCS hull in different trim conditions at Fn=0.26 and the results are compared with the even condition.

2. Numerical

"Study on Hull form Optimization for Minimum wave Resistance Based on Rankine Source Method"

The present study describes an hull form optimization of an Oil Tanker Hull form. A hull form optimization method for seducing wave making resistance using nonlinear programming method (N/P) based on the Rankine source method is discussed in this study.

3. Trim Optimization

"Analysis of Hull Structural Components of a Powered Barge"

This research is intended to analyse the hull structure of powered barge 'Thawdar Dae We'. And it is also intended to the following;

To have more Dead Weight
To get sufficient strength
To minimize production cost
To get flag state with DMA approval.

4. Resistance of Submarine

"The experimental Study of total resistance of a 32m length submarine"

To be desiging, constructing and testing a model submarine.
