Windward Performance of the Ame Crc Yacht Series
نویسندگان
چکیده
Since 1994 the Australian Maritime Engineering Cooperative Research Centre (AME CRC) has conducted an extensive set of towing tank experiments and theoretical predictions for calm and rough water, on a series of 11.3 metre IMS style racing yacht hulls with varying form parameters. In collaboration with Murray, Burns & Dovell (MBD), the AME CRC has developed a Velocity Prediction Program (VPP), and experimental procedures, with the intention of providing performance predictions to the highest international standards. A theoretical study has also been undertaken using the AME CRC developed nonlinear vessel motions program, SEALAM.

The Windward Performance of Yachts in Rough Water
A 5 year research program to investigate the effect of realistic hull form parameters on the added resistance of a yacht in waves is nearing completion. Model experiments and theoretical predictions were carried out and the results are discussed in this paper. Five hull form parameters have been investigated so far, they are: 1. stern overhang; 2. LCB-LCF separation; 3. prismatic coefficient, 4...
متن کاملComparison Final Velocity for Land Yacht with a Rigid Wing and Cloth Sail
The powering requirement of a land yacht is one of the most important aspects of its design. In this respect the wind tunnel testing is an effective design tool. In fact, changing the parameters of the vehicle and testing the changes in the wind tunnel will give us a better understanding of the most efficient vehicle, and yet it is time consuming, expensive, and has inherent scaling errors. Ano...
متن کاملApplication of Mathematical Models to Estimate Metabolizable Energy Contents of Energetic Concentrate Feedstuffs for Poultry
A study using 51 wheat, 56 barley and 34 oat grain samples was conducted to investigate the feasibility of predicting the apparent metabolizable energy (AME) value of these cereals for poultry. Stepwise regression analyses were performed to evaluate the relationship of AME with starch, ether extract (EE), crude fiber (CF), soluble sugar (SS), ash and crude protein (CP) (for wheat and barley gra...
متن کاملYacht match race simulation
There are many factors that can determine the winner of a yacht match race. The major factors include weather conditions observed during the race, tactical decisions made while sailing and the dynamic performance of each yacht. Weather conditions observed during the race can be modelled from actual weather data. Tactical decisions made while sailing can be modelled using logic that approximatel...
متن کاملAdvances in Optimization in Yacht Performance Analysis
We describe some applications of mathematical optimization techniques to yacht performance analysis. Applications include sail trim optimization in wind tunnels, match race modelling under uncertainty, and America’s Cup design optimization under uncertain weather conditions.
