Naval Architecture

Design, engineering and analysis of hull forms, structural configurations and arrangements for new and existing vessels, using FEA and CFD.

Description

Glosten's naval architecture team designs, engineers and analyzes hull forms, structural configurations and arrangements for new and existing vessels. Structural work uses static and dynamic finite element analysis (FEA), and hull form development incorporates computational fluid dynamics (CFD) optimization with attention to stability, seakeeping, speed and power, maneuvering, bubble sweepdown and underwater radiated noise.

Key features

  • Concept, preliminary, contract and detail design hull form development
  • Structural and longitudinal strength analysis
  • Steel and aluminum structure
  • Stability calculations and on-site testing
  • Design studies and cost estimating
  • 3D modeling, rendering and general arrangements

Applications

  • Newbuild vessel design
  • Modification and refit of existing vessels, such as the R/V Roger Revelle midlife refit
