Numerical Modeling of the Stepped Planing Hull in Calm Water
This article describes a 3D CFD (computational fluid dynamics) simulation implementation of the stepped planning hull in calm water. The turbulent free surface flow around the stepped planing hull is computed with a RANSE method, using the solver ANSYS-CFX. The turbulence model used is standard k–ε. In order to simulate the disturbed free surface, VOF model is implemented. The CFD model has bee...
متن کاملAerodynamic analysis of an isolated vehicle wheel
Increasing fuel prices force the manufacturers to look into all aspects of car aerodynamics including wheels, tyres and rims in order to minimize their drag. By diminishing the aerodynamic drag of vehicle the fuel consumption will decrease, while driving safety and comfort will improve. In order to properly illustrate the impact of a rotating wheel aerodynamics on the car body, precise analysis...
متن کاملNumerical Hydrodynamic Performance of the Stepped Planing Craft and Its Step Height Effect (RESEARCH NOTE)
One of the most efficient methods of reducing drag on planing craft is the use of transverse step on the bottom of a hull. Applying steps on the hull reduces the contact area with water and as a result, it reduces drag of the craft. Planing craft are able to have one or two transverse steps. In this paper, numerical hydrodynamic performance of the stepped planing craft and its step height effec...
متن کاملExperimental Study of Geometric Parameters of transverse Steps on High Speed vessels drag at different deadrise angle of the vessels body
By investigating the research in the field of planing vessels, limited research has been conducted to investigate the behavior and other hydromantic parameters. Given that such vessels can have better hydrodynamic performance than similar vessels, research and study is one of the needs and priorities of designers. With this purpose, this study examines the effects of the transverse steps hydrod...
متن کاملTools for Semi-planing / Semi-displacement Ship Design with Applications
A numerical re-formulation of Marou’s integral for slender body analysis of calm-water planing hydrodynamics with gravity wave-making is developed. Numerical computations are performed first for a flat triangular planing plate. The triangular planing plate has been the subject of previous work with the base Maruo theory. The comparisons are supportive of the formulation for performing wave lift...
