Why HELM?

⚑

Fast

O(N log N) complexity. Seakeeping cases done in minutes.

🌊

Fully Nonlinear

Nonlinear free surface + instantaneous wet surface. Only viscosity omitted.

πŸ“

Easy Setup

Just provide a triangular hull mesh. No free-surface meshing needed.

πŸ”­

Vast Domain

Free surface up to 100Γ— body length at minimal extra cost.

Conventional Ships Ocean Platforms Multi-Body Vessels ...

How It Works?

Three layers of "Hybrid" design enable HELM's balance of accuracy, speed, and simplicity.

HYBRID β‘ 

Composite Discretization

Overset grids on an earth-fixed frame. Free surface is auto-handled; users only supply a body mesh.

HYBRID β‘‘

Composite Viewpoint

Semi-Mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian tracking via Zakharov formulation. PLANNED Full Lagrangian mode for slamming & jet flows.

HYBRID β‘’

Composite Solver

SCBEM core: spectral method for far-field waves, BEM for near-field flow β€” large domain, small cost.
