Offshore Aerodynamics

FORCE Technology has performed wind-tunnel studies for the maritime industry since 1959 on numerous types of offshore structures: FPSO’s, GBS’, SPAR’s, Semi-submersibles, LNG Terminals and Wind Turbine Installation Vessels, just to mention a few. As such our professional staff of naval architects can help you with any aerodynamic challenge.

FORCE Technology provides a wide variety of services within maritime aerodynamics. Besides our standard services, we also perform jobs within R&D. This could be wind and current loads in special mooring configurations to determine shielding effects.

Aerodynamic services provided to the offshore engineering, operators and construction industry include:

• Wind and current loads
• Analysis of funnel performance - smoke dispersion
• Flow field measurements and visualizations
• Helicopter Operation Studies
• CFD Studies.
