Virtual Marine Arsenal

Fairway is software for design, fairing, manipulation of ship hull forms and conversions of models from other design software. Fairway is a module of PIAS, a suite of naval architectural software.

FastShip is a program for designing hulls, superstructures, appendages, and other marine structures, with the ability to design fair surfaces.

Femap is an advanced engineering simulation software program that creates finite element analysis models of complex engineering products and systems, and displays solution results. Femap also offers geometry creation and modification functions so you can make necessary model changes in preparation for finite element model creation.

The FrontFlow/blue (FFB) is a finite element method solver for incompressible turbulent flows by LES and RANS with second-order accuracy in terms both of time and space. Standard Smagorinsky model (SSM) and dynamic Smagorinsky model (DSM) are implemented for the SGS model, and SA model is implemented for RANS.

Crank-Nicolson method and fractional step (FS) method are implemented to solve the momentum equations and the pressure Poisson equation, respectively. FFB runs in massively parallel by the domain decomposition method.

FieldView is a tool for CFD analysts and CFD users performing analyses with mixed physics such as fluid-structure interaction (FSI), aeroacoustics, or electromagnetics. FieldView reads many common CFD data formats including solver formats. Many solvers also provide an export to FieldView’s (FV-UNS) file format.

Finflo is a Navier-Stokes solver capable of handling incompressible and compressible flow, i.e. subsonic, transonic and supersonic flows. The code is based on a structured multiblock grid topology. The Reynolds-averaged thin-layer Navier-Stokes equations are solved by a Finite-Volume method.

Free Internet Rowing Model (FIRM) is a research code. FIRM evolved from an initial attempt at a reasonably comprehensive rowing model named “Michlet Rowing”.

In its present form the model tries to fill a need for a useful tool that lies somewhere between a full 3D model with CFD calculations of the complex flow fields, and simpler models that treat the rowers’ bodies as point masses and that use empirical approximations for the drag on the boat and rowers.

Flattener is the compound-curved plate expansion utility for Multisurf modeler.

Flexheader for Joomla enables you to assign a specific picture to an article, menu entry or category/section view. The picture appears on a module position and can be outside of your content, e.g. in your template header position.

Flotilla is a computer workbench that can be used for investigations into some aspects of ship hydrodynamics. Flotilla is not suitable for many classes of hulls. It cannot handle planing hulls or very stubby vessels like tugboats. However, it provides very acceptable predictions for hulls with L/B as low as 5 when the hull has a transom stern.

Flow-3D is a multi-physics computational fluid dynamics package and provides an insight into many physical flow processes, including solutions coupled to thermal energy transfer, 6-degree of freedom fluid-solid interaction, and mechanical and thermal stress analysis. Flow-3D is an all-inclusive package from setup to simulation to post-processing. No additional modules are necessary.

Previously known as OpenFOAM-dev and OpenFOAM-extend, the foam-extend project is a fork of the OpenFOAM open source library for Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD).

It contains bug fixes and performance improvements, as well as extensions and additional features provided by community contributors such as dynamic mesh and topological change support, turbomachinery extensions including general grid interpolation (GGI), cyclic GGI and mixing plane, block-coupled matrix support, implicitly coupled conjugate heat transfer and other physics coupling, finite area method, comprehensive dynamic mesh (motion and topological changes) capability and GPU support.

The Foil is a design and analysis program provides a CAD user interface and CAD file export for the well known Eppler Analysis code package. Valid for Reynolds Number (Less than 10 million) operation.
