Projects
Past Projects
Patrick has been involved in a number of diverse projects:
- Investigation into an incident on HMAS Nizam
- Stability assessment of fishing vessels operating off the Pacific coast of South America
- Numerical investigation into the performance of Mirror class dinghy sails
Numerical fluid simulation
A number of numerical modelling programs have been developed by Patrick. These include:
- Vortex lattice code for the calculation of aerodynamic forces on thin aerofoils
- Slender body wave resistance code based on Michell's integral. This was used for the prediction of catamaran wave resistance
Incident/accident investigation and simulation
Numerical modelling and simulation tools have been used to gain a greater understanding of several marine incidents.
