Mission
The mission of the Marine Technical Committee is to recommend OpenFOAM developments relevant for the the marine domain, to assess OpenFOAM validation, and to nurture involvement of OpenFOAM Community.
Members of the Committee
There are currently eight committee members, led by Kevin Maki, who acts as chairman.
- Kevin Maki: Chair, ship hydrodynamics.
- Mattias Liefvendahl: Naval hydrodynamics, LES, propulsion, ship-generated noise.
- Zhirong Shen: ship and offshore hydrodynamics, Overset mesh.
- Gabriel Barajas Ojeda: IHFoam, coastal hydrodynamics.
- Johan Roenby: Geometric Volume-of-Fluid (isoAdvector), Fluid-Structure Interaction.
- Lex Mulcahy: cavitation, propulsion.
- Niels Jacobsen: waves2Foam, coastal hydrodynamics.
- Tobias Huuva: propulsion, cavitation.

Marine Application Validation Resources
Cavitation 2D hydrofoil
Waves
shallow-water regular wave (generation, propagation and absorption)
deep-water regular wave (generation, propagation and absorption)
Crest velocity field
Streamfunction wave in periodic box with period equal to wave length or N wavelengths
Breaking of waves (over a mild gravel sloped, etc.)
Fluid-6DoF interaction
Free light/heavy circular body rising/falling with constant acceleration in inviscid fluid due to buoyancy+gravity (both morphing mesh and overset)
Wave Loads
Solitary wave run-up on vertical wall
For coastal structure stability (breakwater)
Ship Hydrodynamics (Cases from SIMMAN and CFD workshops)
calm-water resistance
seakeeping
maneuvering
energy saving devices
Turbulence modelling
Mooring modelling
taunt, catenary.
Interaction of Water Waves with Porous Coastal Structures
wave interaction with superstructures (rubble-mound breakwater, vertical breakwaters, Porous and Impermeable Vertical Barriers, etc).
Wave-Vegetation interaction:
wave interaction with mangrove forests (solitary, Tsunami, etc).
Second Order Wave Generation:
wave focusing, groups.
