news MARIN Courses


This autumn MARIN will organise two courses:


Applied Hydrodynamics of Floating Offshore Structures In October 2010, MARIN will again organise the three-day course, Applied Hydro- dynamics of Floating Offshore Structures, in Houston. This course will give an overview of the latest developments, such as extreme metocean conditions, motion analysis and wave impact.


Ship Hydrodynamics II In early November 2010, MARIN’s five-day course, Ship Hydrodynamics II, will be held at our headquarters in Wageningen.


Nowadays, ship design has become a hi-tech industry in which many complex calculations and testing methods are used. For the mod- ern naval architect it is important to know how these techniques work to be able to ask the right questions to their suppliers and advocate the merits to their clients. The advantages but also the limitations of CFD


methods will be discussed. Other topics include choice of propulsor, propeller cavi- tation and erosion risk, propeller-induced hull pressure fluctuations and energy-saving measures.


This course is aimed at the more experienced naval architect. Although recommended, it is not necessary to have attended the Ship Hydrodynamics I course.


For exact dates, more information and regis- tration please contact Joke van der Beijl, +31 317 493 323, courses@marin.nl. Or visit www.marin.nl/Courses.htm.


Sloshel at ISOPE 2010


After the succesful Sloshel symposium in 2009, a second symposium will be organised during ISOPE 2010 in Beijing (June 20-26). A special session will be dedicated to the Sloshel Joint Industry Project. The following papers will be presented by MARIN:


Advances in Sloshing Assessment from the Sloshel Project Bogaert, H, Kaminski, M.L.


Sloshing and Scaling: Results from Sloshel project Brosset, L., Léonard, S. (Gaztransport & Technigaz, France), Bogaert, H., Kaminski, M.L., (MARIN)


Hydro-structural Behavior of LNG Containment Systems under Breaking Wave Impacts: Findings from the Sloshel Project. Léonard, S., Marhem, M., Leclère, G. (Gaz- transport & Technigaz, France), Bogaert, H., Kaminski, M.L. (MARIN)


OTC 2010 Exhibition and Conference, May 3-6


MARIN will again attend OTC in Houston. You can meet us at the Dutch Pavilion (stand 2329), or during the technical sessions where we will be presenting the following papers:
