SHIP MODEL TEST

Mermaid Consultants offers multiple area of modern experimental assessment ways to cover many different types of marine
and offshore structures model tests. We have been providing excellent service to provide exact prediction of power
requirements for the full-scale ship from the model test results. Apart from that, excellent services in the model test
procedure preparation and test follow-up  to ensure best execution and estimation of results.

Before model test we provide these services:

Model test procedure and consultancy

Coordination with Towing tank company
Model test results estimation via. CFD
Vessel lines optimization and Propeller design

After model test we provide clients:

Evaluation of measuring points

Preliminary prognosis calculation after every model test run
Vessel basic parameters and lines optimization

SHIP MOTION ANALYSIS

Multi structures and sub-structures motion interaction

Anti heeling tank design by Tank analysis with ship couple
 motion  
Wave resistance estimation
Motions, loads RAO calculations
Complex mooring analysis using multiple items (lines,
fenders…)
Natural periods and critical damping estimation
Barge and ship’s drift load estimation
Slamming load estimation
Deck wetting/ Green water load phenomena
DP analysis
Bilge Keel performance prediction

FPSO motion analysis to ascertain velocities and accelerations

at different control points which will be further used in FPSO
 module support designs.

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID DYNAMICS ( CFD )

Aerodynamic CFD simulation of  superstructure is now a well established theory. The superstructure of ships and offshore

structures includes complex  arrangements, imposing  high vortical flows, which becomes very significant for resistance
prediction
Correct estimation of three dimensional flow around these structures, proves CFD a ultimate tool for ships and offshore
structure already in construction phase.
