Modern low-cost digital computers and dedicated software, combined with
extensive research to correlate full-scale, towing tank and analytical data,
have enabled naval architects to more accurately predict the performance of a
marine vehicle. These tools are used for static stability (intact
and damaged), dynamic stability, resistance, powering, hull development,
structural analysis, etc. Curiously, analytical tools (such as Computational
Fluid Dynamics) still have difficulty in predicting with absolute certainty the
response of a floating body in a random sea. The challenge is being addressed by
universities, towing tanks, and other marine research entities throughout the
world. Data is regularly shared in international conferences sponsored by RINA, Society of Naval

Architects and
Marine Engineers (SNAME) and others
