Computation of the wavemaking resistance of a Harley surface effect ship
نویسندگان
چکیده
Still water resistance tests for a 2.3-m model of a Harley surface effect ship (HSC-SES), completed in August 2002, are presented. Few published studies of such a SES exist, and none provide useful measurements of the wetted surface area, which is needed to extrapolate results and predict full-scale HSC-SES performance. Here, estimates of wavemaking drag are made using free-surface elevations measured within the starboard air cushion. Separately, a numerical model, based on a fast-multipole accelerated boundary element method, is used to model fully nonlinear potential flow wave resistance of moving pressure patches, which correspond roughly to the HSC-SES cushions’ footprint. The computed wave resistance roughly agrees with measurements taken during the towing tank tests.

Evaluation of Moonpool Effects on Hydrodynamic Resistance of a Supply Vessel, Using Experimental and Numerical Methods
Moonpool is an opening in the floor or base of a hull ship which can be used to lower tools and vehicles into the sea in a protected area. In this paper, the effect of a rectangular cross section moonpool on the resistance force of a supply vessel was investigated both by experimental and numerical methods. For both methods a 1:37.2 scale of Caspian3 surface vessel was used. Experiments were ca...

In this paper, the main goal is to reduce the heave motion between a surface effect ship (SES) and a wind turbine in order to safely transfer equipment and person to SES. For this purpose, an LQR control system is designed to damp the vertical motion of the surface effect ship in critical sea states including high-frequency and high amplitude regular waves as well as high frequency irregular wa...

Nowadays, various numerical methods are developed to extend computational fluid dynamics in engineering applications. One of the most useful methods in free surface modeling is Boundary Element Method (BEM). BEM is used to model inviscid fluid flow such as flow around ships. BEM solutions employ surface mesh at all of the boundaries. In order to model the linear free surface, BEM can be modifie...

For most vessels, the frictional resistance of the hull in the water has the largest share in the total resistance of the ship, so in the past few decades much research have been done on reducing the frictional resistance of ships. Among these, stepped vessels with a significant reduction in the amount of wetted surface have a special place. In this study, the effect of a single transverse-step...
