Computational Fluid Dynamics: Fuel Savings Up To 5% Thanks To Ship Trim Optimization With Omnis Marine

AnneMarie CFD

Ship trim optimization has recently gained enormous momentum as indeed it can significantly reduce fuel consumption. Depending on trim angle, the drag on a ship changes, even if speed and draft remain the same. As such, imposing an optimized trim angle during the loading process in the harbor ensures minimal average resistance during the vessel’s journey.
