The BAJEL project consists on the validation and final development of a comprehensive computer system to support the hydrodynamic design of ships. It aims at contributing to the optimal design of the new generations of ships, specially passenger vessels, improving their navigation conditions.

 

This project is developed as a result of the joint work of a center specialized in Computational Analysis (CIMNE) and two Hydrodynamic Research Centers (ETSIN and Canal de El Pardo) within the framework of the industrial reality represented by the company BAZAN.

 

This work presents the objectives of the project, describing the computer tools that have served as the basis and starting point for it. It also presents the achievements that in this field have achieved in recent years the member of the research teams.

 

Finally, different results of studies carried out on real geometries of ships with special dedication to high-speed passenger ships are included.
