Turnavi

Engineering · Software · Consultancy

Research-grade methods, engineered into software.

At Turnavi, we step in at the critical boundary where structures face the sea. Grounded in computational mechanics, we master the motion, vibration, and acoustics of ships and offshore platforms, and bring this expertise to the field through our engineering services and simulation platform, NVS.

Our foundation

Born in academia. Proven in the field.

Turnavi's roots lie in doctoral research at Istanbul Technical University's (İTÜ) Faculty of Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering. Now based at İTÜ ARI Teknokent, we forged our core numerical methods in computational mechanics through rigorous peer-reviewed research and TÜBİTAK-supported projects. NVS is the culmination of that work: a commercial platform with deep academic roots. Today it sits among the international solvers in a MARSTRUCT Virtual Institute and ISSC benchmark on wave-induced motions and loads, one of the field's most exacting comparative studies, with full results headed for publication.

Why Turnavi

Where academic depth meets practical engineering.

Today's simulation market is run by software houses detached from the field, while advanced academic methods stay locked in the lab. Turnavi was built at the very heart of engineering to close that gap.

01
Academic depth

Our results rest on peer-reviewed methods, not convenient assumptions.

04
No black boxes

Not a sealed tool but the method itself: full control, and the strategic independence that critical, sovereign projects demand.

Inside NVS

Everything is now on solid ground: mature methods, a platform in active use, and a team that has proven its theory in practice. Because critical engineering leaves no room for compromise.

What we do

One platform, and the engineering behind it.

Flagship product

NVS (NVSolve) — our simulation platform

NVS is our flagship: a modular simulation environment for the motion, vibration and acoustics of structures in water. It delivers solutions across the board, from ships to offshore structures, and from subsea technologies to renewable energy platforms. It grows around the problem in front of you, taking on purpose-built modules for the needs off-the-shelf tools leave untouched. Specialized add-ons, like the TVC torsional-vibration module, run integrated with NVS or as standalone modules. And our isogeometric core, bringing mesh-free simulation directly into the CAD environment, is on the way.

Consultancy & analysis

Sometimes you need an answer, not a license. We take on seakeeping, hydroelastic, vibration and acoustic analysis as a service and deliver the result.

Custom development

We begin where standard tools stop. We build solvers aimed directly at the specific problem at hand, just as we did with the torsional-vibration module developed for the defense industry.

Training

Hands-on training in commercial simulation tools and in solving complex engineering challenges.

Where we work

Different sectors. The same physics.

Defense, ships, offshore structures and renewable energy: the sector changes, but the motion, vibration and acoustics that decide a structure's performance do not.

Defense

Vibration and acoustic-signature analysis for programs where silence is a strategic asset, drawing its strength from our team's experience and the independence of a homegrown solution.

Ship & Offshore

From shipyards to classification societies: hydroelasticity, seakeeping and structural strength for everything that floats and flexes.

Marine renewable energy

Where the sea turns into power: structural analysis and motion simulation for floating solar and offshore wind platforms.

Let's tackle the obstacle in front of you.
