BOAT FLOW SIMULATION

The workflow for boat simulation begins with the creation and refinement of a high-fidelity 3D CAD model, which is then imported into a computational environment where the surrounding fluid domain is discretized into a high-quality mesh. Once the geometry is prepared, engineers define essential physical parameters, such as water and air density, and apply boundary conditions to accurately model the interaction between the hull and the fluid using multiphase methods like Volume of Fluid (VOF). The simulation is then executed through numerical solvers to compute fluid forces, allowing for the observation of phenomena such as pressure distribution and wave resistance. Finally, the resulting data is analyzed through post-processing to visualize streamlines and quantify performance metrics like drag and trim, ensuring the design meets hydrodynamic requirements before moving to physical prototyping.
