InforSim- Ocean Engineering


	InforSim has performed a variety of ocean engineering studies including: • design and dynamic simulation of submersibles, torpedoes, buoys and moorings • flow field modeling of sea water intake and waster water discharge systems • estimation of wind/wave/current loading on ocean structures • acoustic propagation modeling to predict sonar signal-to-noise ratio • at-sea environmental monitoring (see illustration) • laminar flow research Applying sophisticated system engineering techniques, we have also optimized the design and overall performance of complex multi- component ocean systems including: • offshore aquaculture farms to determine the size and number of net pens, ocean installation sites, and operational scheduling of the production cycle • Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) plants to determine optimal plant scaling, thermal Rankine cycle performance, offshore containment structure location, cold water pipe size and routing, and heat exchanger configurations.
