NASDIS pds has a long experience in supporting design offices during the concept and basic design of a ship or an offshore vessel. Those designs were often supported by experimental model tests in the worldwide most important hydrodynamics laboratories.
Several proprietary codes have been developed and validated, so that NASDIS pds is able to offer reliable predictions and analyses as well as designs in the following areas:
- Resistance & Propulsion predictions
- Propeller design
- Seakeeping and Manoeuvring predictions & analysis
- Dynamic Positioning (DP) predictions & analysis
- Environmental loads predictions
- Design, optimisation, support and analysis of towing tank experiments
NASDIS pds offers a modern and innovative approach to the ship design, transferring his expertise and knowledge to the really initial phase of the design process, e.g., the concept design phase. Combining technical, economic and production models, NASDIS pds is able to support the costumers in the following areas:
- Pre-feasibility and feasibility studies
- Optimum ship
- Optimum fleet
- FEED (Front End Engineering Design)
NASDIS pds staff was and is involved in international research projects on different fields of marine and offshore hydrodynamics, working strictly in contact with international Universities and Research Institutes. Therefore, NASDIS pds is able to update continuously the proprietary codes and produce new tools and solutions for upcoming enquires.
Research is always one of the top activities of the company in order to improve the consultancy’s quality offered to the costumers.
The main research topics currently covered are:
- Concept design methodology
- Optimisation procedures
- Dynamic positioning
- Convoy in shallow water
- Hydrodynamics of fast vessels
- Hydrodynamics in ice conditions
- Moonpool dynamics
- Air cavity ships
- Maritime transport of natural gas (CNG, LNG)
- Optimal fleets composition
- Integration among logistics, ship design and shipping
