The 1st International webinar on

“Methods, models and simulations of hydrodynamic and aerodynamic problems”

June 16, 2021, 09.00 – 12.30 (Swedish local time)

The Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences (M2) at Chalmers University of

Technology has together with SSPA established a strategic collaboration with
knowledge exchange and research on CFD (computational fluid dynamics), EFD
(experimental fluid dynamics) and FSI (fluid structure interaction). Through this
strategic collaboration between CFD and EFD, Chalmers M2 and SSPA will create an
important base within FSI within hydrodynamics and aerodynamics through testing,
method development and development of new, novel numerical codes. Collaboration Tip vortices induced by electric aircraft propellers

between the researchers and the methods that are developed are applied to areas
such as marine renewable energy (wave energy, floating wind power, tidal power),
sailing (sail racing), wind-assisted propulsion on commercial vessels, and propulsors in
water and in air.
The webinar is arranged jointly by Chalmers University of Technology and SSPA.
The purpose is to present the initiative to strategic collaboration for the wide
community by short presentations of a selection of ongoing projects. Our hope is that
the webinar will attract an interest for new partners and researchers to join us in
ongoing projects, to start new projects together with us, or learn from our recent Simulated flow structures in the aft of a ship

findings.
The webinar is held on Zoom. It is free of charge and there is no need to register
in advance. Please spread the invitation to anyone who you think may be interested
to participate.
