IMAA Performance Prediction
IMAA specializes in the performance prediction of new designs.
We have considerable experience in the hydrodynamics of all forms of vessels:
Conventional Ships and Ferries
Fast Monohulls and Catamarans
Hovercraft (ACV) and SES (sidewall hovercraft)
Hydrofoils and Foil assisted craft
SWATH (semi-waterplane forms)
Submarines and Submersibles
Hybrids (eg. see PACSCAT and HOVCAT)
If we don't have data to hand, then IMAA manufactures test tank models:
These can be tested in a range of conditions including: calm water, regular head
seas, defined sea states (wave spectrum) and shallow water.
Our service includes analysis of the test results, scaling of the resistance data
and preparing the reports.
We can respond quickly to any enquiry.
