Advanced Marine Vehicles Mm7xx 2009 2010 Lecture 4

The document discusses several types of advanced marine vehicles, including high-speed catamarans, wave-piercing catamarans, and SWATH (Small Waterplane Area Twin Hull) ships. It provides examples and details on the geometry, advantages, and history of development of these vehicle types. In particular, it notes that Frederick Creed invented the concept of SWATH ships in 1938 and was awarded a patent in 1946, and that the first stealth ship, Sea Shadow, built in 1993 had a SWATH hull design to remain stable in rough seas.

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANS


The requirement of large deck space for a given length has led to the development of the catamarans (See Examples).

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANS Geometry


Each one of the two hulls, called demihull Demihull an be : symmetrical, asymmetrical The hulls can operate in semi-planing or planing regimes.

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANS (Spacing)


An important aspect of catamarans is the demihull spacing due to resistance, structures and manoeuvring characteristics.

As the distance between the hulls gets smaller the resistance interference becomes very unfavourable while structural problems gets easier. Seakeeping behaviour is probably the biggest handicap of the catamarans.

HIGH SPEED CATAMARANS (Spacing)


Pitching is worse than the conventional hulls. Additionally the vertical accelerations are very high on the deck side. Wave piercing catamaran is introduced to reduce the contouring.

Wave-piercing Catamaran
A wave-piercing boat hull has a very fine bow, with reduced buoyancy in the forward portions. When a wave is encountered, the lack of buoyancy means: 1. the hull pierces through the water rather than riding over the top 2. results in a smoother ride than traditional designs, and 3. in diminished stress on the vessel and crew. 4. It also reduces a boat's wave making resistance. The main current usage areas are passenger ferries and military craft. 1/1/2012 10

SWATH SHIPS
Advantages 1. Small waterplane area struts give SWATH Ship a superior behaviour in waves 2. Low wavemaking resistance

Disadvantages 1. Large wetted surface restricts the maximum speed. 2. Sensitivity to trim, and pitching

MM7xx Overview Sea Shadow has a SWATH hull design. Below the water are submerged twin hulls, each with a propeller, aft stabilizer, and inboard hydrofoil .The portion of the ship above water is connected to the hulls via the two angled struts. The SWATH design helps the ship remain stable even in very rough water of up to sea state 6 wave height of (5.5 m) or "very rough" sea. M.A. Kotb
