Naval Architecture Projects
Naval architecture projects, technical investigations and documented studies covering ship hydrodynamics, vessel performance, marine technology and ocean engineering.
Featured Naval Architecture Projects
This section presents practical studies, simulations and engineering investigations developed around maritime technology, vessel performance and ocean engineering.
KCS Added Resistance in Regular Waves
An OpenFOAM-based hydrodynamic investigation of the KCS hull in regular waves at design speed, focusing on heave, pitch and added resistance across different wavelengths.
Shallow-Water and Channel Effects on KCS Performance
A numerical study examining how reduced water depth and confined-channel conditions influence the resistance and motion behavior of the KCS hull in calm water.

Oil Tanker Deck and Engine-Room Equipment Arrangement
A rule-based tanker arrangement study focused on machinery-space and deck-equipment layout in accordance with Bureau Veritas requirements, with a comparative assessment of the corresponding design provisions issued by DNV and Lloyd’s Register.
Hydrodynamic projects are developed using OpenFOAM-based computational fluid dynamics workflows and, where applicable, are interpreted with reference to ITTC Recommended Procedures and Guidelines. Arrangement studies consider relevant classification requirements and established naval architecture practice. Related literature, research findings and broader technical context are presented in our Research Reviews.
