GL and CD-adapco join forces

By: David Gabbitas

CD-adapco, a global enterprise offering computationally-based engineering solutions, and the classification society Germanischer Lloyd (GL) have joined forces. The two companies signed a cooperation agreement whereby they will closely work together in the sector of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for marine applications. The future collaboration will comprise of mutual publications, development, validation as well as workshops.

Dr Ould el Moctar, GL’s Head of Department Fluid Dynamics, explains: “Germanischer Lloyd and CD-adapco have already been working together for many years. Both parties have considerable experience in the field of CFD analyses.” Former joint publications by CD-adapco’s Technical Director, Prof Dr Milovan Peric, and Dr el Moctar include papers on “Wave Loads” or the “Simulation of Sloshing in LNG-Tanks”.
The importance of computer-aided engineering in shipping cannot be underestimated, the GL-expert stresses: “The technological progress of simulation in this sector is rapid, both for software and hardware. Simulation technology is employed in a wide range of marine applications and often plays a critical role in the decision making process.” Raimund Schipp, CD-adapco’s European Director of Sales, adds: “Computer simulation technology is finally fulfilling its enormous potential. The availability of accurate and reliable predictions at the earliest stage of the design process leads to significant savings in effort and money, compared to performing tests and amending the design later in the process.”
Germanischer Lloyd has always been in the vanguard of CFD analysis in the maritime field, today offering the full scope of maritime engineering services – such as the computation of slamming, sloshing, wave loads, cavitation or fluid-structure interaction. In all cases, advanced simulation software is needed. “However, the true value offered by advanced engineering providers lies in the symbiosis of software or hardware and highly skilled staff,” Ould el Moctar says. “Modeling therefore also requires considerable collective experience.” This is why the cooperation is so very interesting, Raimund Schipp points out: “We will combine both the theoretical as well as practical experience of our two companies to come up with beneficial solutions.”
