As the new generation of high-speed crafts become larger and faster, slamming impact loads on vessels are a critical design concern. Slamming impact load is one of the most critical factors for the scantling design of hull structures. ABS is continuously refining prescriptive rules analysis procedures, numerical tools, and the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) method.
Join Zhongfu Ge, ABS Managing Principal Engineer for Technology and Chris Greenwood, ABS Director of Regional Business Development, as they unfold what high speed craft slamming means for the maritime industry.
