...and not surprisingly, they are testing naval ship models. The US simply can't compete in the commercial shipbuilding market. It's kind of sad when you think about it.

With the recent progress in CFD (computational fluid dynamics) perhaps more simulation will be performed by computer & less using physical models? Is that so? Thanks.

Professor Fred Stern of the University of Iowa College of Engineering describes the new $4.9 million wave basin facility at the University of Iowa's research campus. This wave basin will be used by Stern and his colleagues in UI's Ship Hydrodynamics Research Group to further develop the simulation software called CFDSHIP-IOWA that they have developed for the United States Office of Naval Research to aid in the ship design process. The UI Ship Hydrodynamics Research Group is a program of IIHR- Hydroscience & Engineering, one of the nation's preeminent institutes for the study of fluid mechanics, air and water resources, and environmental hydraulics. to learn more: http://iihr.uiowa.edu
