CIMNE has a large experience in conducting RTD projects in naval and marine engineering. The main activities in these fields are related to the development and application of computational methods and computer aided design and verification tools on the following topics:

• Hydrodynamic analysis of vessels / optimum shape design methods for ships
• Ship structures / composite materials / fluid-structure interaction effects
• Offshore structures / fluid-structure interaction effects
• Environmental problems in naval and marine engineering
• Multidisciplinary problems in naval and marine engineering
• Decision support systems in naval and marine engineering / wireless sensor networks / artificial intelligence technology
• Near-time simulation (operational) tools for ocean waves / GPU computing
• Offshore wind turbines structures
• Design of tidal turbines
