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.展开更多
为研究小水线面双体船(small water-plane area twin hull,SWATH)的耐波性,在拖曳水池里开展了SWATH顶浪规则波中纵向运动模型试验,研究了航速和稳定鳍纵向位置变化对船体纵向运动性能的影响,以及波高变化对船体运动响应的非线性影响。...为研究小水线面双体船(small water-plane area twin hull,SWATH)的耐波性,在拖曳水池里开展了SWATH顶浪规则波中纵向运动模型试验,研究了航速和稳定鳍纵向位置变化对船体纵向运动性能的影响,以及波高变化对船体运动响应的非线性影响。试验结果表明:不同航速下,船体的垂荡传递函数和纵摇传递函数均随着波长变化呈现出双极值;不同航速时的垂荡传递函数的极值大小变化较小。稳定鳍纵向位置移动3.5%设计水线长时,对模型的运动响应影响不明显。随着波高增加,模型运动响应的非线性特征突出表现在共振区附近,在低速时更为显著。展开更多
