Tools for Semi-Planing/Semi-Displacing Ship Design With Applications (Ship Design Tools)
2008
Vorus, William S.
This research focused on developing design tools that will apply to the innovative ship concepts envisioned for the next generation of Navy surface ships Today's naval vessels are supported almost entirely by hydrostatics: high-speed boats, on the other hand, are supported almost entirely by dynamic lift in planing. The medium-size, high-speed ships of current and future interest to the Navy fall in the middle ground where both hydrostatics and planing dynamics play significant roles in ship performance and must be included in any rational design methodology. The proposed research will develop two of the components of the tool-set needed for design of semi-planing/semi-displacement ship design, specifically: (1) adaptation of planing theory for including dynamics in calm water ship performance, and (2) adaptation of impact theory for predicting wet-deck slamming of catamarans.
