Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
To carry out a series of force, moment, vorticity and pressure distribution measurements in shallow water using three different hull forms. Theoretical work. (1) To extended the original study of vortex effects from Phase 1 to cover a wider range of hull forms and stern shapes. (2) To develop a simplified approach to the calculation of vortex paths and circulation strengths to permit their prediction directly from hull geometry. (3) To carry out a regression analysis of available derivative data to provide improved semi empirical formulae. (4) To deduce a correction term for vortex effects in shallow water by using a system of mirror image vortices. (5) To investigate the enhancement of the vortex impulse method to represent the non linear effects at larger drift angles. (6) To develop manoeuvring prediction program suitable for interactive design purposes. Experimental work. This will be extended from that of the first phase to include an investigation of the manourvring behaviour of different hul forms as they advance with slow and service speeds, in shallow water, in the linear and non linear drift angle range, The new experiments will incorporate beam and astern conditions.
