Novel ship concepts, increasing sizeand speed, and shipowner'sdemand for low operational costsrequire that a ship's hydrodynamicperformance be studied andoptimised at the highest level ofsophistication. All hydrodynamicperformance need to be consideredso as to optimise trade-offs betweenresistance, propulsion, sea keepingand manoeuvring. Fluid flowpredictions for ships and marinestructures are complex and

challenging. Up till now model testing prevail which is often prohibitively expensive in terms oftime and budget and hence only a very few hull modifications can be explored to arrive at thebest possible solution. Lately, CFD tools relying on potential flow methods as well as morecomplex and resource intensive RANSE methods are being used for hydrodynamic optimisation,which has been proved to reduce optimisation costs considerably and improve the accuracy ofsolution immensely. To perform such optimisations using CFD, a high level of knowledge of thetool is essential.

The SHIPFLOW CFD codes by Flowtech has been developed

specially for ships and has proven its effectiveness for

many projects through the years. SHIPFLOW codes are

continuously improved based on research and industry

feedback. There are only a few installations in India at

present and is growing. The Central institute of Fisheries

Technology (CIFT), Kochi, Kerala has successfully put

SHIPFLOW for optimising fishing vessel designs where

model testing is prohibitively expensive due the enormity

of design variations. CIFT in association with Flowtech

International AB is conducting a SHIPFLOW training

programme in India which opens up a great opportunity to

all those who are engaged in ship design and research to

familiarise and get hands-on-experience on the world's

best CFD tool for the marine industry. We invite all those

interested to set aside the dates April15-18 to make use of

this rare opportunity at a very nominal cost

The three first days of the training gives a good overview of the complete SHIPFLOW Design Package. It provides

the participants with the basic knowledge required to use the software on their own. Although the training is aimed

for at new users of SHIPFLOW, it is also a suitable course for current users who wants to learn more about thelatest developments or just refresh their knowledge

The fourth day is devoted to more advanced applications with SHIPFLOW. The first application will be on the self-

propulsion simulation capability in SHIPFLOW. This part of the training will also make use of the unique features

available when using the Friendship Framework and SHIPFLOW jointly. This is demonstrated in an example of

shape optimisation

Each user needs to bring one computer for running SHIPFLOW. A Laptop with 64-bit operating system (Windows or

Linux) and 4 GB of RAM memory is recommended. Smaller laptop will also work for most of the exercises. Flowtech

will provide the necessary software and licenses

CERTIFICATE WILL BE ISSUED ON SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION OF THE COURSE


6/7

A nominal fee of Rs. 10,000/- per participant will be charged which include the course documentation,

tea/coffee breaks and lunches. 50% discount is available for students, if bonafide student certificate is

produced.

Course will be conducted at CIFT, Kochi, Kerala. Participants are requested to make their ownarrangements for their stay and transportation to and from the course venue. However, assistance for

arranging accommodation in hotels will be provided on specific request from participants. A few

participants could also be accommodated in CIFT guest house/other guest houses based on availability, if

requested in advance. Students can be accommodated in training hostel at very reasonable rates based on

availability, if booked sufficiently early.

THE NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS IS LIMITED. PLEASE ENSURE THAT YOU REGISTER EARLY TO AVOID DISAPPOINTMENT.

Kerala, blessed with great natural beauty and diverse ecology, has been rated in the top three tourist destinations by

the World Travel & Tourism Council and featured in National Geographic Traveler's '50 greatest places of a lifetime'.

Whether it's the serene backwaters or the splendid hill stations, the stunning beaches or the rich cultural aspects,

there is so much to explore in Kerala. Due to its close

proximity to sea, the climate of Kerala is neither too hot

nor too cold. This has made Kerala an all-seasondestination, although the period between October and

April are considered best, as this time offers moderate

temperatures around Kerala, making it ideal to visit the

marvellous state. The period between April and August

is considered the best time for getting Ayurvedic

treatments, for which Kerala is renowned worldwide. In

April, it is advised to carry cotton clothes which are

loose in fitting and light in colour as the summer sets in.

Occasional showers with lightning is a characteristic of

this season.

Kochi (colonial name Cochin) is a vibrant city situated

on the south-west coast of the Indian peninsula in the

breathtakingly scenic and prosperous state of Kerala. Its strategic importance over the centuries is underlined by the

sobriquet, "Queen of the Arabian Sea". From time immemorial, the Arabs, British, Chinese, Dutch, and Portuguese

have left indelible marks on the history and development of Cochin. Over the years, Cochin has emerged as thecommercial and industrial capital of Kerala and is proud of its world class port and international airport that link it to

many major cities worldwide. The city is also well connected to other parts of the country through rail and road. Kochi

is the arguably the ideal starting point for exploring the unfathomable diversity and beauty of Kerala.
