Tank experiments: design, optimisation, support and analysis

Alongside hydrodynamics calculations, NASDIS pds offers knowledge and expertise to support the customers in designing and analysing the best program for model experiments in a towing tank.
The close work done by NASDIS pds staff with the most relevant hydrodynamics research institutes is an added value for planning, execution and analysis/interpretation of the model tests.
The multidisciplinary expertise at NASDIS can cover all fields of ship hydrodynamics:

  • Resistance tests in deep and shallow water as well as in iced waters
  • Self-propulsion tests in deep and shallow water as well as in iced waters
  • Wake surveys
  • Cavitation tests
  • Seakeeping tests
  • Manoeuvring tests
  • Dynamic Positioning tests
  • Wind Tunnel tests

Afterwards, NASDIS pds can provide the costumer with overall evaluation of ship performance by performing post-processing analysis.
