Abstract

In this paper an attempt has been made to assess the capability of numerical algorithm based on Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) for predicting the motion characteristics of the planing hull in calm water and regular waves. The focus of the present study is the impact of interceptors on the sea keeping quality of a planing vessel investigated through the application of numerical methods. The wave properties such as wavelength and wave height are taken into consideration to investigate the effect of wave steepness on vessel response. It is found that numerical data can efficiently simulate the motion attitude and the hydrodynamic characteristics of planing craft in regular head waves. The planing hull with and without interceptor fitted at the transom is simulated in numerical wave tank. The results show reduction in heave and pitch motions which gave favorable sea keeping behavior for the hull fitted with interceptor. The numerical solution is useful for the preliminary prediction of navigation safety during sailing.
