NUMECA International: Fine/ Marine reducing the Drag for Tanton Yacht Design.sales@numeca.be
Numeca is happy to announce that Fine/Marine, the leading CFD solution for naval architects, has been used successfully to check the static and dynamic properties of the boat called "TYDe 68"designed by Mr. Tanton Y-M, naval architect and owner of Tanton Yachts.
Thanks to its unique features (adaptive grid refinement, quasi-static approach, sub-cycling method, etc.) Fine/ Marine has been used to predict accurately the TYDe 68 wake patterns at different speeds, including free trim and sink. In a second step, these results (pressure distribution, free-surface elevation, streamlines, etc.) allowed optimization of the hull shape by reducing total drag, reducing fuel consumption and emissions at cruise speed.
