SIMMAN2014

Following up on the first SIMMAN workshop in 2008, the second workshop is now scheduled to take place in 2014. The purpose of the workshop is to benchmark the capabilities of manoeuvring prediction methods through comparisons with towing tank results for tanker, container, and surface combatant hull form test cases... The KVLCC2 tanker, the KCS container and the DTMB 5415 frigate hull forms will be used as benchmark ships. Similar to the workshop in 2008, a variety of methods are available for predicting force and trajectories. Among these methods are also CFD predictions, which have made large progress over the last years... Comparing results obtained with the various prediction methods to each other and to experimental validation material will reveal insight into their strengths and weaknesses.
