Krylov Center says mathematical modeling of Arctic terminals will let reduce wind/wave impact by 25-30%

Mathematical modeling of Arctic terminals will let reduce wind/wave impact by 25-30% or more, IAA PortNews correspondent cites Vyacheslav Magarovsky, Head of Fluid Mechanics Department at Krylov State Research Center, as saying at Offshore Marintec Russia.

The expert says physical modeling and simulation modeling is also reasonable. This will let create a physical model of a facility allowing for mitigation of risks and reduction of construction costs.

The Krylov State Research Centre is one of the world’s major ship research & design centres established in 1894. Over its century-long efforts in the field of innovative R&Ds for the benefit of national shipbuilding, in the best interests of the country’s defence and economic development, the Krylov Centre has accumulated the wealth of unique expertise in development of naval ships, commercial vessels and offshore structures. The Krylov Centre responsibilities cover the full scope of ship qualities including seaworthiness, strength, powering, acoustics, electromagnetic signatures, nuclear & radiation safety, definition of ship concepts meeting the combination of the above requirements.
