The Krylov State Research Centre is equipped with the most powerful supercomputer in Russian shipbuilding with a processing capacity of 56.13 TFlops.

Krylov’s experience gained from numerical simulations for marine engineering applications demonstrates that these techniques make it possible to

  • reduce the test scope required for hull shape optimization and thus to save the cost and time of design efforts,
  • take well-informed decisions regarding the choice of design solutions,
  • improve predictions of full-scale performance,
  • raise the efficiency and, therefore, competitiveness of the prospective ship or marine structure under design.

Supercomputer case studies:

  • Preliminary optimization of hull lines, i.e. calculations to examine a range of hull shape options for obtaining the best or prescribed hydrodynamic characteristics, followed as a rule by manufacturing of ship model and model tests.
  • Calculations of parameters which are impossible to obtain in physical experiment (or when a physical experiment is not practicable).
  • Estimation of scale effects, i.e. comparative calculations for correlation of model and full scale conditions.
  • Computer simulation fully substituting the physical experiment, a rare case at present, when the accuracy of estimated characteristics is not required to be too high (within 10 to 20 %) to meet the design purposes or when the physical experiment provides the same accuracy.

Key numerical methods:

  • Modeling of multi-phase and multi-component flows, including thermodynamic effects;
  • Detached eddy simulation (DES) method for resolving of large scale turbulence;
  • Adaptive mesh refinement for saving the computational resources and maintaining the high accuracy at the same time;
  • Simultaneous fluid-structure interaction (FSI);
  • Flow visualization, including 3D video.
