Looking for designs

[ivansalasj]

I need some hullforms to be able to carry out some research and i was wondering if anybody knew a good place to go asking for them, any time of vessel will do!!!
Thanks

Do these designs need to be of tested vessels or are you after experimental designs

Hi Glyn,

I am just after some current designs of an existing yacht, from 25 to 10o m to do some experimental work and some cfd calculation to be able to carry out my thesis.
Can you help???
Thanks

The Delft series of tow tank tests would be a good body of force data for CFD comparisons. Contact Prof. Gerritsma for the offsets of the models.

To really validate a CFD code, you'd need flowfield data, too, or at least surface pressure data. Those are going to be a lot harder to come by. I suggest you look through issues of Journal of Ship Research, SNAME Transactions, etc. for likely experimental papers, then contact the principals to get the details.
