Small-scale channel facility

In the ongoing AoA post-doc project with Valery Chernoray, Lena Granhag and Rickard Bensow we are studying hydrodynamic drag from marine paints and fouling. We found it highly relevant to make a new small-scale channel facility for dynamic growth and hydrodynamic testing of slime. Such a facility will further increase a level of cooperation between our divisions and will provide a possibility for a number of future joint projects.

Lars Davidson

Full Professor at Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, Division of Fluid Dynamics Head of Division Fluid Dynamics

The general subject of Lars' research is computation of fluid flow and heat convective transfer using finite volume computations. He is working with in-house finite volume codes (CALC-BVC, CALC-LES)...
Rickard Bensow

Full Professor at Mechanics and Maritime Sciences, Division of Marine Technology

Rickard’s research deals with understanding what forms the key hydrodynamic features of a good design, e.g. for ship hull and propulsion system. The goal is to reduce fuel consumption and...
