TRANSNAV 2021
16 June 2021 - 18 June 2021 | Virtual event
14th International Conference on Marine Navigation and Safety of Sea Transportation
The Conference is organized by the Faculty of Navigation of the Gdynia Maritime University and The Nautical Institute.
The Conference is addressed to scientists and professionals in order to share their expert knowledge, experience and research results concerning all aspects of navigation, safety of navigation and sea transportation.
The 14th Edition of the World conference on maritime transport research designed to find solutions to challenges in waterborne transport, navigation and shipping, mobility of people and goods with respect to energy, infrastructure, environment, safety and security as well as to the economic issues.
AIRCOAT team will be presenting its last scientific paper: Validation of a Flow Channel to Investigate Velocity Profiles of Friction-Reducing Ship Coatings.
In this paper we validated the methodology by determining the velocity profile of the flat channel wall (without coatings) and comparing to a custom build CFD model in OpenFOAM. Preliminary results show that flow velocity along the longitudinal axis are in general accordance with experimental results.
