Naval hydrodynamics & signature: how Ansys helps

Illustrative simulation render. Actual studies are built to your geometry and requirements.

The Ansys tools that model it

• Fluent — Free-surface and multiphase CFD for hull resistance, propulsor performance, and cavitation.
• Aqwa — Hydrodynamic diffraction and seakeeping of floating platforms in real sea states.
• Mechanical — Structural response, slamming loads, and vibration of hulls and appendages.
