Design and engineering technical advice on flow performance required for the development of various ships are provided in this field of SMTech. In addition, based on accumulated experience and know-how, we support the strengthening of international technological competitiveness through towing tank/circulation tank and cavitation tunnel test facility concept/detail design/technical supervision.
It supports the securing of leading technologies in the domestic shipbuilding and energy industries by carrying out analysis, evaluation and flow control such as resistance/propulsion, wake, ice performance, propeller/cavitation and hydro-turbine for small electric power plant.
In response to the demands of new concept eco-friendly ships and the advancement of ship performance such as merchant ships and ships, support for securing leading technology through analysis and evaluation of performance of various types of ships such as special ships, various propulsion devices and energy saving devices (ESD).
