The 12th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics
The 12th International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics (IWSH 2023) will take place at Aalto University, Espoo, Finland, from the 28th of August to the 1st of September 2023. The workshop is normally a biannual event with a focus on marine engineering, ship hydrodynamics, and floating renewable energy that provides researchers and engineers from around the world with the opportunity to present and discuss recent developments in the field. The scope of the workshop topics will be on theoretical, experimental, and numerical research, as well as a combination of these. The event will offer a pleasant environment in which to establish new avenues of cooperation and work. As an incentive, the best student submissions will be acknowledged with a Best Student Paper Award.
TOPICS:
The scope of the conference will be broad, covering all issues related to the hydrodynamics of ships and ocean engineering, including offshore renewable energy. Specific themes include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Linear and nonlinear waves and currents;
- Ship dynamics and hydrodynamics for design (resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, maneuvering, hull form, and propulsion optimization);
- Sea loads and responses, such as slamming, sloshing, green water, run-up, ice, impact on ships, and floating offshore installations (e.g., breakwaters, FLNG, FSRU, semisubmersibles, etc.);
- Propeller cavitation, erosion, and cavitating flows;
- Computational fluid dynamics, digital twins, numerical wave tank, and virtual displaying systems;
- Coupled problems, including fluid–structure interactions, ship hydroelasticity and hydroelastoplasticity, underwater noise, ice–wave–structure interactions, and the aerohydrodynamic loading of floating wind turbines;
- Emerging numerical methods and bioinspired hydrodynamics;
- The hydrodynamic performance of high-speed vessels and floating offshore installations;
- Hydrodynamics of renewable marine energy and ocean resources;
- Experimental methods for towing and ice tanks, wave flumes, and water basins;
- Uncertainties and uncertainty modeling;
- Any other aspects of hydrodynamics of relevance to ship science and ocean engineering.
