Dynaß ow has conducted numerous R&D projects in-cluding contracts from federal agencies (ONR, DoE, NSWC, NASA, NIH, etc.) and consulting jobs from industry on a variety of subjects including a ship simulator, simulation of an amphibious vehicle in the surf zone, multi-ship in- teractions, ship propeller performance improvement by polymer injection, bubble augmented waterjet propulsion, acoustic tomography for bubble size measurements, cavitating jet cleaning and drilling, cavitating jet oxidation of organic compounds, , etc. DYNAFLOW is commercializing products based on its research. Dynaß ow Õs core technology is cavita- tion and bubble dynamics related hard- ware and software. A few of them re- lated to subsea industry are listed here: DYNAJETS - Cavitating Water Jet Technology : Enhanced erosivity of wa- ter jets was achieved by various means including deliberately inducing cavita- tion and passive acoustic resonance due to ß ow interaction with the nozzle. This has broad applications to cutting, clean-ing, drilling, erosion testing, enhance-ment of chem reactions, disinfection, and oil extraction from algae. Software: Dynaß ow has worked ex- tensively under contracts to the U.S. Navy in modeling the dynamics of large underwater explosion generated bubbles and their effects on structures. The com- prehensive 3D numerical code, 3DY- NAFS, can model free surface dynamics and nearby structural interactions asso-ciated with cavitation, bubbly ß ows, and underwater explosions. DYNASIM is a software for PC based ship maneuvering simulation.

Fischer Connectors Rue du Glapin 20, St Prex Vaud 1162, SwitzerlandTel: +41 21 800 95 95 Email: mail@Þ scherconnectors.ch http://www. Þ scherconnectors.com CEO: Dominique Glauser Number of Employees: 400 Anyone who works in the marine in- dustry knows the challenge that water, especially salt water, brings to the table. Fischer ConnectorÕs engineering team has applied the latest knowledge to its connector technology, expanding op- tions for working in wet environments. The technology for sealing connectors against water is generally classiÞ ed into two groups: external sealing, provided by accessories such as a ß exible boot, and internal sealing, which uses some combination of o-rings or potting mate-rial. St?phane Rohrbach is Engineering Director at Fischer Connectors SA, in Switzerland. He says that the more water thatÕs in- volved, the more important it is to have internal sealing. For instance, there are many applications that need protec- tion against splashes or sprays. When not connected, the unmated connec-tor can be sealed with a protective cap. But when you are diving, or in long- term contact with water, Rohrbach says youÕll want to use an internal technol- ogy. We provide solutions that are IP68 rated, mated or unmated, just for these applications. 26 MTRJuly/August 2012 MTR #6 (18-33).indd 26MTR #6 (18-33).indd 268/1/2012 1:27:25 PM8/1/2012 1:27:25 PM
