Experimental Study of the Hydrodynamic Loads on High Speed Planing Craft

摘要: Abstract Slamming pressure assessment is an important topic for shell plating and stiffener design of bow flare. In this study, the distribution on bottom high speed planning craft evaluated through measurements impact pressures scale model running in regular waves. The planing hull model, monohedral hard chine built with clear deck, order to allow visual inspection fluid flow exact points has been extensively studied as reported previous works. From time histories vertical motions (heave pitch) acceleration measured “standard” seakeeping tests, preliminary slamming according Zhao Faltinsen method performed. experimental campaign presented paper focused field nine surface at four velocities two Results analysis frequency domain given, identifying along panel. Furthermore, comparison measured, analytical normative values cross-correlation responses further comments indications future work withdrawn. results provide useful data set all transportation-engineering systems under dynamic load.
