Maritime Technology and Safety (MarTS) research group

Description of the research group

The Maritime Technology and Safety ( MarTS ) research group performs and supports fundamental research as well as applied industrial research in the maritime field. The group joins complementary competences and experiences of its members regarding modelling and simulation, as well as experimental approaches, on performance, comfort and safety aspects related to the maritime field.

As a result, the group is capable of tackling R&D activities regarding key and emerging topics in naval architecture and marine engineering, such as hydrodynamics, stability, structures, safety, regulatory assessment and development, CFD and FEM analyses, resistance, propeller performance, seakeeping, manoeuvrability, dynamics, aerodynamics, cavitation, efficiency, noise, vibrations, MetOcean analysis&forecasting, etc. In addition, the group supports also thesis activities.
