SHIPFLOW

Two modules:
XPAN: Viscous
XCHAP: Potential based
Gridding technique based
They have long 20 years of investment in developing this software, having validated results
with various experiments.
Applications:
 Optimization of ship sterns
 Vortex Generator optimization
 Flow Computations behind Vortex Generator
 Hull optimization with Lackenby
 Improvement of Aftbody Hull Form
 Bulb shape optimization
 Comparison of ship bow performance in waves
 Validation of added resistance in waves for a tanker ship
Important features:
Fast meshing grid based intelligent system designed especially for Naval vessels
In collaboration with CAESES, thus a user can get smart capability of CAESES in terms of
geometry optimization.
Can simulate seakeeping simulation based on potential solver

Note: Shipflow and CAESE which are two popular software in naval CFD field, they have
collaborated to share their software important features with each other’s. CAESES is more
intelligent in geometry construction and optimisation in CFD, whereas Shipflow has clever
mesh grid approach, which saves great amount of time.
There is 3rd substitute STAR CCM+, its almost like Ansys Fluent, more a general purpose
software
