Multiphysics needs in the naval marine industry

John D McVee & Dr A P Steer

QinetiQ Rosyth, Centre for Marine Technology, Dunfermline, United Kingdom

SummaryAn overview is given of possible multiphysics applications with reference to current QinetiQ research including that aimed at validated design and analysis capability for Trimaran warships. Examples are given of current capability with regard to the fluid structure interaction arising from underwater explosions and the hydroelasticity of ships in seaways.

Design Requirements and Flow Features• Range of flow features for CFD to

capture- Viscous flows- Inviscid wave flows- Time dependent flows

• Initial requirement for CFD is to capture viscous flow features- Resistance- Inflow conditions to propulsion- Ship/propeller interactions- Detailed flow characteristics- Lift and drag for manoeuvring
