IWSH 2025
The 13th International Workshop on Ship and marine Hydrodynamics
August 25th-28th, 2025
Fukuoka, Japan
Introduction
The International Workshop on Ship and Marine Hydrodynamics (IWSH) is a biannual event focusing on marine engineering, ship hydrodynamics, and floating renewable energy. It brings together researchers and engineers from around the world to present and discuss recent developments in the field.
The 13th IWSH (IWSH2025) will take place in Fukuoka, Japan, from 25th to 28th August 2025, and will be hosted by Kyushu University, Japan. The Western Branch of the Japan Society of Naval Architects and Ocean Engineers will co-host the event. The event will offer a pleasant environment in which to establish new cooperation and work avenues. As an incentive, the best student submission will be acknowledged with a Best Student Paper Award. Selected papers will be recommended for publication as special issues or columns in Journal of Hydrodynamics and Ocean Engineering based on the regular journal review after the workshop.
The conference will be held at ACROS Fukuoka, a center of international, cultural, and informational exchange in the heart of Fukuoka City. Fukuoka is one of the leading tourist cities in Japan and is highly regarded for its food culture. Lonely Planet selected Fukuoka City in the "Food" category of the "Best In Travel 2023."
Conference Topics
The scope of the workshop topics will be theoretical, experimental, and numerical research, as well as a combination of those.
Specific themes include but are not limited to:
- Linear and nonlinear waves and currents
- Ship dynamics and hydrodynamics for design (resistance, propulsion, seakeeping, maneuvering, hull form and propulsion optimization)
- Sea loads and responses such as slamming, sloshing, green water, run-up, ice, and impact on ships and floating offshore installations (e.g., breakwaters, FLNG, FSRU, semi-submersibles, etc.)
- Propeller cavitation, erosion, and cavitating flows
- Computational Fluid Dynamics, digital twins, numerical wave tank, and virtual displaying systems
- Coupled problems including fluid-structure interactions, ship hydroelasticity and hydro-elasto- plasticity, underwater noise, ice-wave-structure interactions, aerohydrodynamic loading of floating wind turbines
- Emerging numerical methods and bioinspired hydrodynamics
- The hydrodynamic performance of high-speed vessels and floating offshore installations
- Hydrodynamics of renewable marine energy and ocean resources
- Experimental methods for towing and ice tanks, wave flumes, and water basins
- Uncertainties and uncertainty modeling
- Any other aspects of hydrodynamics of relevance to ship science and ocean engineering.
