Between a catamaran and a hovercraft

Post by ahsowrov408 »

For his doctoral research he wrote a computer program to predict variables in the behavior of the surface effect boat. This type of boat is most similar to a cross between a catamaran and a hovercraft. Between the two hulls is an air cushion which is blocked by two skirts front and rear. Air cushions lift the boat out of the water as it sails. Checked his procedure by taking measurements on a model in a towed tank in the Laboratory of Ship Fluid Mechanics.

The laboratory is part of the Department of Mechanical and Maritime Engineering. In this lab everything revolves around two towed tanks huge water containers set up here. The mobile number list maximum length of one meter, one meter wide, one meter deep, and one and a half meters are suitable for ten thousand liters of water. On the side of the tank is a device that generates waves. The height of the waves and the speed at which they follow each other can be set as desired.

A trailer drives over the barge's four-wheel platform. The platform is equipped with measurement equipment cables cameras and computers. The model to be tested is hung in the middle of the trailer in the water. There is a model hanging in the 1-meter-long towing pool under the trailer. Test the behavior of the surface effect boat during this run.
