Theoretical Support
- LES 4.7 m/s plate simulation with and with no elements
- Two distinct mechanisms for drag reduction observed
- Highly optimized SDARI's container carrier design
- Self-propulsion with and with no elements
Vorticity is born as a result of stress near the rigid wall
This means a field on the body suffices in defining it
The drag is a result of vorticity flux crossing potential stream lines
The theory allows for drag increase and decrease
By stretching, the flux remains close to the body
The new vorticity born at the boundary is ~ magnitude lower
Installation
Our installation process is engineered for maximum efficiency and zero disruption. Whether in port or at anchor, the 13 Mari Elements can be installed underwater by certified divers without drilling, drydocking, or halting operations.
Quick Mechanical Fastening
Underwater Installation with Friction Welding
Optimization Process
- We obtain the line plan from the shipyard.
- A physical model for towing tank optimization, between 4-6 weeks, must be put in the towing tank window.
- 13 Mari performs digital CFD optimization at a model scale.
- In parallel, towing tank work is done, including resistance and self-propulsion
- With towing tank results, elements are manufactured and installed, cost dependent on vessel, and optimization results, with a 5-week lead time.
