Description

Something slightly off-topic.
This period untill summer I'm having an internship at the MARIN (MAritime Research Institute Netherlands) which is quite demanding my free time, so I'm only able to work on the mod in the weekends.

Still I can't get my hands off Titanic, so I made a 3D model from accurate lineplans and entered it into a wake dynamic calculation program they have developed. These 3 images show a visual representation of the wakes that Titanic develops at a speed of 22 Knots. It is interesting to see how much effect a drag reducing bulbous bow delivers that is applied to modern ships nowadays.

An easy discription, the harder the contrast of the colors are, the higher the wakes are thereby showing the ammount of drag it creates for the ship. A decently optimized modern day oceanliner would show very little color variation.
