Shoal papers accepted for MODSIM 2025
Shoal Group has co-authored two papers accepted for presentation at the 26th International Congress on Modelling and Simulation (MODSIM2025). Hosted by the Modelling & Simulation Society of Australia & New Zealand, MODSIM showcases the latest research and innovation in systems modelling and simulation.
The first paper is titled ‘A Variable-Rate Sampling Framework for Efficient Aerodynamic Data Sampling in CFD Applications’. Co-authored by Shoal’s Sarah Whitehouse, John Ogilvie, and John Wharington, the team introduce a new approach to improving aerospace engineering simulations. These simulations often require complex models that are expensive and time consuming to build. To meet time constraints, engineers often use simplified models, however gathering the data for these models, can be costly. The team’s research explores smarter data collection strategies that reduce costs while maintaining accuracy, making aerospace simulations faster and more accessible.
Shoal’s second paper is co-authored with researchers from the Defence Science and Technology Group (DSTG) and titled ‘Validation of a numerical model of a ship and cable-towed body system’. Martin Leahy, Sean Logan and Daniel Sgarioto’s paper focuses on improving simulations used in maritime operations. These simulations help predict how ships and underwater equipment behave when cables are used for underwater towing, a process important for activities like search and rescue, underwater exploration, and defence missions. To validate these predictions, the team compared their simulation model against real-world data from sea trials. The results showed strong agreement between the model and actual measurements, confirming the model’s reliability. Their work contributes to improving the reliability and performance of operational decision support systems.
Both papers will be presented in Adelaide at MODSIM 2025, to be held from 30 November to 4 December 2025.
