From the study of fluid dynamics to performance prediction and prototyping, our solutions cover the full spectrum of modern naval engineering. Delivering measurable gains in speed, control, and efficiency.
CFD-FEM-FSI
CFD is at the core of our expertise. From potential-flow codes to RANS, LES, and Direct Numerical Simulation, we support sail, propeller, and hull design with accurate predictions of fluid behavior and system interaction.
Efficient Design
We design high-performance and unconventional vessels through a deep understanding of the external fluid environment, and its interaction with the vessel. Applying multiphysics and advanced numerical methods we navigate complexity beyond established standards, while keeping our feet firmly on the ground
VPP/PPP, Simulator
We combine high-fidelity modelling and dynamic simulation to predict power demand, efficiency, and real-world vessel behavior. Providing decision-ready insights to optimize design and operations.
innovation-driven engineering lab
We transform bold ideas into test-ready prototypes through an integrated approach to design, engineering, and validation. From concept to construction, we support innovative projects by building effective interfaces with shipyards and suppliers, ensuring smooth execution and real-world testing.
During the 33rd America’s Cup cycle, Mario Caponnetto contributed to hydrodynamic assessment workstreams aligned with the BMW Oracle wing-sail platform, the configuration that ultimately won the Match. This milestone marked the shift toward aero-hydrodynamic integration in Cup design culture.

America’s Cup / Aero-Hydro Integration / Performance Engineering
In 2021, Caponnetto Hueber led the CFD, foil design, and hydrodynamic engineering for the AC75 of Luna Rossa Challenge, the eventual Prada Cup winner. We deployed multiscale CFD and aero-hydro coupling to ensure optimum lift and control. Rapid iteration delivered performance gains under tight competition timelines.
