Diamond Offshore Drilling has used Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software for the past 2-1/2 years to analyze fluid-related problems encountered in our fleet of mobile offshore drilling vessels.  We currently have two seats of Star CCM+ software running full-time on a 192-core computer cluster.

The case of the design and implementation of Frahm-style anti-roll tanks on the Ocean Clipper drillship will be examined in detail, especially including comparison and correlation with wave basin data.
