Wageningen 2025: a Workshop on CFD in Ship Hydrodynamics

International workshops on numerical methods in ship viscous flow have been held regularly over a long period of time. The workshops were held in 1980 (G), 1990 (G), 1994 (T), 2000 (G), 2005 (T), 2010 (G) and 2015 (T) in Gothenburg (G) and Tokyo (T). This website outlines the next workshop in the series, hosted by the Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN) and to be held in Wageningen. Initially, the aim was to have the next workshop in 2020, but due to SIMMAN activities and the worldwide pandemic, this was unfeasible, and a rescheduling was needed. The organization has now decided to host the workshop in the fall of 2025, from Monday November 17th to Wednesday 19th. As before, the objective is to assess state-of-the-art CFD methods for ship hydrodynamics using several well specified test cases, to aid physical understanding and code development and to strengthen the reliability of CFD for ship design and evaluation.

Last Days for Early-Bird Workshop Registration!

October 1, 2025
✏️ Early-bird registration (reduced fee of 450€) for Wageningen 2025: a Workshop on CFD in Ship Hydrodynamics is available only a few more days, until Friday 3 October, with final registration open until 7 November. The workshop will take place in the beautiful city of Wageningen, The Netherlands, 17–19 November.

We have submissions from fifty institutions for our five different test cases showing the state-of the art in our field. At the w2025 workshop (8th edition in this series of CFD workshops), the results will be presented by the case organisers and external experts, followed by plenary discussions of the results. This workshop offers a unique opportunity for professionals and researchers to engage in in-depth discussions on CFD applications in ship hydrodynamics, and to see how the submitted results compare to peer results, experiments, or trials for the selected test cases. You can help shape the tools for the future of ship design and assessment!

🐣 Note also that the hotel has secured a block booking until 6 October. To ensure you will have your hotel room at the venue, do not hesitate to register for this event and book your hotel room in time!
