This Specialty Symposium will be part of the OMAE 2006 Conference in Hamburg, Germany, June 4-9, 2006.

This is the 2nd Specialty Symposium on this subject.

Objectives: Authors and presenters are invited to participate in this event to expand international cooperation, understanding and promotion of efforts and disciplines in the area of CFD and VIV Symposium. Dissemination of knowledge by presenting research results, new developments, and novel concepts in CFD and VIV Symposium will serve as the foundation upon which the conference program of this area will be developed.

Description: Addresses the use of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in offshore applications, e.g. flow around bluff bodies at high Reynolds numbers, guidelines for turbulence modeling – selection; benchmarking and validation of analysis tools; green water effects on FPSOs; roll damping; field data for validation and calibration of CFD with design tools, etc. The symposium also includes non-CFD issues related to VIV analysis and design methods and experimental data on VIV.
