SCMM staff are well experienced in performing calculations in the fields of core competences for the Krylov State Research Centre like flow around ships and ship propulsors, ocean engineering structures, etc. including:
- CFD computations of air & water flow patterns around ships, ship propulsors, ocean engineering structures, etc. in model-scale and full-scale conditions taking into consideration realistic environment properties;
- Determination of environment forces on ships & structures both moving and fixed;
- Elaboration of CAE techniques and consultancies in the field of CFD application procedures.
SCCM is also engaged in non-core computations:
- Calculation of wind patterns over the specified terrain including topographic features and buildings like computations in support to the new port design in Teriberka Bay;
- Determination of steady and unsteady wind loads on buildings and engineering structures; pressure distributions on structure surfaces and velocity fields around buildings and engineering structures. These computations provide valuable information to complement and enhance wind tunnel test data.
