Evaluation of Computational Codes for Underwater Hull Analysis Model Applications.

摘要

Commercial codes are evaluated based on identified criteria to determine the best platform for the development of the Underwater Hull Analysis Model computational tool. Specific criteria are identified for the selection process. Several codes were evaluated with two codes, Elsyca CP Master and BEASY-CP, being down-selected for detailed comparisons that investigated code performance in a series of increasingly complex computational tasks. Modeling tasks and results are detailed. The final selection was made based on these analyses. At the time of the work performed, Elsyca CP Master was selected as the best basis for the Underwater Hull Analysis Model; however, additional work performed with COMSOL Multiphysics since the selection indicates that COMSOL should be re-evaluated if the Underwater Hull Analysis Model program is renewed at some future date.
