Resistance and Seakeeping Numerical Performance Analyses of a Semi-Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull at Medium to High Speeds

The hydrodynamic analysis of a new semi-small waterplane area twin hull （SWATH） suitable for various applications such as small and medium size passenger ferries is presented. This may be an attractive crossover configuration resulting from the merging of two classical shapes： a conventional SWATH and a fast catamaran. The final hull design exhibits a wedge-like waterline shape with the maximum beam at the stem; the hull ends with a very narrow entrance angle, has a prominent bulbous bow typical of SWATH vessels, and features full stern to arrange waterjet propellers. Our analysis aims to perform a preliminary assessment of the hydrodynamic performance of a hull with such a complex shape both in terms of resistance of the hull in calm water and seakeeping capability in regular head waves and compare the performance with that of a conventional SWATH. The analysis is performed using a boundary element method that was preliminarily validated on a conventional SWATH vessel.

Comparative Analysis of the Separation Variation Influence on the Hydrodynamic Performance of a High Speed Trimaran

This paper numerically investigates the influence of separation variation of the outriggers on the hydrodynamic performance of a high speed trimaran （HST） aiming at improving its applicability in diverse realistic disciplines. The present investigation was performed within the framework of the 2-D slender body method （SBM） by calculating the resistance of three symmetric trimaran series moving in a calm free surface of deep water. Each trimaran series comprises of 4681 configurations generated by considering 151 staggers （-50%≤a≤＋ 100%）, and 31 separations （100%≤β≤400%） for 81 Froude numbers （0.20≤Fn≤ 1.0）. In developing the three trimaran series, Wigley-st. AMECRC-09, and NPL-4a models were used separately for both the main and side hulls of each individu;d series models. A computer macro named Tri-PL was created using the Visual Basic for Applications~. Tri-PL~ sequentially interfaced Maxsurfe then Hullspeed to generate the models of the three trimaran series together with their detailed hydrostatic particulars, followed by their resistance components. The numerical results were partially validated against the available published numerical calculations and experimental results, to benchmark the Tri-PL macro and hence to rely on the analysis outcomes. A graph template was creaLed within the framework of SigmaPlot to visualize the significant results of the Tri-PL properlv.

A CFD Based Investigation of the Unsteady Hydrodynamic Coefficients of 3-D Fins in Viscous Flow

The motion of the fins and control surfaces of underwater vehicles in a fluid is an interesting and challenging research subject.Typically the effect of fin oscillations on the fluid flow around such a body is highly unsteady, generating vortices and requiring detailed analysis of fluid-structure interactions.An understanding of the complexities of such flows is of interest to engineers developing vehicles capable of high dynamic performance in their propulsion and maneuvering.In the present study, a CFD based RANS simulation of a 3-D fin body moving in a viscous fluid was developed.It investigated hydrodynamic performance by evaluating the hydrodynamic coefficients (lift, drag and moment) at two different oscillating frequencies.A parametric analysis of the factors that affect the hydrodynamic performance of the fin body was done, along with a comparison of results from experiments.The results of the simulation were found in close agreement with experimental results and this validated the simulation as an effective tool for evaluation of the unsteady hydrodynamic coefficients of 3-D fins.This work can be further be used for analysis of the stability and maneuverability of fin actuated underwater vehicles.

Hydrodynamic Performance of Flapping-foil Propulsion in the Influence of Vortices

Fish are able to make good use of vortices.In a complex flow field,many fish continue to maintain both efficient cruising and maneuverability.Traditional man-made propulsion systems perform poorly in complex flow fields.With fish-like propulsion systems,it is important to pay more attention to complex flow fields.In this paper,the influence of vortices on the hydrodynamic performance of 2-D flapping-foils was investigated.The flapping-foil heaved and pitched under the influence of inflow vortices generated by an oscillating D-section cylinder.A numerical simulation was run based the finite volume method,using the computational fluid dynamics(CFD) software FLUENT with Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes(RANS) equations applied.In addition,dynamic mesh technology and post processing systems were also fully used.The calculations showed four modes of interaction.The hydrodynamic performance of flapping-foils was analyzed and the results compared with experimental data.This validated the numerical simulation,confirming that flapping-foils can increase efficiency by absorbing energy from inflow vortices.

Understanding and replicating the locomotion principles offish are fundamental in the development of artificial fishlike robotic systems,termed robotic fish.This paper has two objectives:(1) to review biological clues on biomechanics and hydrodynamic flow control offish swimming and(2) to summarize design and control methods for efficient and stable swimming in robotic fishes.Our review of state-of-the-art research and future-oriented new directions indicates that fish-inspired biology and engineering interact in mutually beneficial ways.This strong interaction offers an important insight into the design and control of novel fish-inspired robots that addresses the challenge of environmental uncertainty and competing objectives;in addition,it also facilitates refinement of biological knowledge and robotic strategies for effective and efficient swimming.

Experimental study on hydrodynamic effect of orientation micro-pored surfaces

The orientation of the dimple increases the flow distance in the dimple and produces fluid cumulative effect in the dimple length direction, which leads to obvious hydrodynamic effect as a result. In order to investigate the hydrodynamic effect of orientation dimples, a series of experiments was carried out on a ring-on-ring test. Multi-pored faces were tested with different dimple inclination angles and slender ratios. Film thickness and frictional torque were measured under different conditions of load and rotation speed. Experimental results showed that the orientation dimple could produce obvious dynamic effect by change of the flow direction and the increasing dimple orientation leads to increase of the load capability. The hydrodynamic effect strongly depends on dimple orientation parameters such as inclination angle and slender ratio. A larger load capability can be available by increasing dimple orientation and rotation speed. Experimental results agreed well with the theory that orientation micro-pores can significantly improve hydrodynamic performance of surfaces.
