I’m amazed by the challenges pitted against a Polar class icebreaker. What does it take for a ship to survive in the harshest regions of our planet?

For small vessels, the major problem with stability letters is explaining it to the captains. Today I will review a stability letter and give plain English interpretation of all the boring mumbo-jumbo.

to run a stability test, naval architects need a little theory, and a LOT of experience. This guide passes on some of that experience.

Time to prepare the vessel for a stability test. This guide covers the practical mattes that a Chief Engineer needs to know.

As the vessel owner, how do you prepare for a stability test? Enjoy this practical guide on how to prepare for a stability test.

What is a stability test? What exactly are you paying for? This article introduces a stability test and why you want one.

The modern towing tank expanded into a Swiss Army knife of experiments. Time to see what new tricks the tank holds for us!

Multiphase CFD includes multiple fluids. How does VOF achieve this, and what are the implications for CFD modeling? Read on to learn more . . .

When we add the time variation, CFD adds a few modeling requirements. Today we discuss these extra requirements. Get guidance for unsteady simulation.

As the CFD engineer, you need to describe boundary conditions for your turbulence equations. This article typical turbulence values for normal simulations.

Turbulence does tricky things near walls. Turbulence is most critical near the wall, so how to consider near wall effects? Learn more here.

How do we stretch the limits of linear algebra to accommodate non-linear CFD equations? How do we take the mathematics from one cell and apply them to millions of cells?
