The ROMVessel project, a collaboration between MES and ENGYS with support from the University of Trieste and FAST Computing, has been completed. The initiative addresses engineering challenges associated with designing naval structures for the containment and transport of cryogenic fluids such as LNG and liquid hydrogen.
The project combined Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis and Reduced Order Models (ROMs) within a unified workflow to study thermo-fluid and structural behaviour while linking high-fidelity simulations with reduced modelling approaches. The methodology was assessed through comparisons between simulation outputs and experimental data. Coordination support for the project was provided by the M.A.R.E. Technology Cluster FVG.
