Btw, just few days to create a plugin for Rhino? You are becoming a monster of computer programming, Leo!

Yes, it certainly does near-field waves and squat. See the thread Flotilla 2.07 in the Software Forum for a demo of the program and some wave patterns produced using the demo. (I am still trying to find time to produce the SES and ACV demos.)

Flotilla Demo 2.07

And I was guessing wildly about the time to create a Rhino plug-in. If it's more than a few hours I'd want more than $500US.

All the best,
Leo.

Does anybody know who the author is of Michlet? I was wondering if the source code was available... I would like to compile it in Fortran. Thanks! Jan

Look above your post...

Michlet is mostly C/C++ with some routines in assembly language. I have versions of the core components of Michlet in Fortran, but they are not for public release.

Good luck!
Leo.

Thank you for your response. Looks like I possibly have some serious coding ahead of me.... What method do you use in michlet to calculate frictional resistance? Would you say that its range of accuracy extends to Froude numbers above 2.2?

Please excuse my ignorance... I am very new to this game.

Thanks!

In the free release, users can choose either the ITTC line, or my version of Grigson's line. I have several others I can use when I want to (which is very rarely).

Skin-friction depends on Reynolds number, not Froude number. My friction line is set up for 10^5 < Rn < 10^11, but I can't attest to the accuracy at the very low end and extreme high end.

Have fun!
