Project Description

CFD analysis of advanced ship propulsion systems using hydrogen focuses on simulating fluid flow, combustion, and heat transfer to optimise propulsor efficiency, safety, and emissions. It supports the design of hydrogen-fuelled engines and propulsors by assessing hydrodynamic performance, cavitation, thermal effects, and integration with novel propulsion architectures.
