  • An experimental investigation on hydrodynamic forces acting on a porpoising craft at high advanced speeds up to Froude numbers Fn=6.0(Fn=U\ulcorner:Lo\ulcorner denote overall length of ship) in calm water is performed. Captive model tests and forced motion tests are carried out to measure the hydrodynamic forces. The results show that significant nonlinear effects for motion amplitudes appear in the restoring, the added mass and the damping coefficients. The experimental results are compared with the results of a prediction method of the hydrodynamic forces include the nonlinear effects, and show a good agreement with them. A simulation using the predicted hydrodynamic forces in a nonlinear motion equation is carried out to obtain the porpoising motion of a craft in calm water. The calculated results are in fairly good agreement with experimental ones.

  • An experimental study carried out to predict the performance characteristics of a high speed planing boat at the two displacements whose hull form shows hard chines form transom to bow. In the resistance test the planing hull model was porpoising at and above 30 knots for both displacements of 30 tons and 24 tons. A small stern wedge was newly designed and attached across hull bottom. The planing hull model with the stern sedge did not show any porpoising up to the speed of 45 knots for both displacements and it analysed results shows the improvement of resistance performance and planing performance comparing with those of original hull form; i.e. for displacement of 30 tons the effective power and trim angle were reduced by 18.9% and 5.71 degrees at the speed of 28 knots, and for the displacement of 24 tons the effective power and trim angle were reduced by 23.63% and 4.37 degrees at the speed of 28 knots, respectively.

  • In this research, we have calculated characteristics of wave-piercing high-speed planing hull, by using a RANS solver and overset grid method, for comparing with experimental measurements of that and simulating with several appendages, since the computed results of commercial CFD code look reasonable for the prediction of the performances of planing hulls on calm water in planing conditions. As a result, it is confirmed that the dynamic instability phenomena in pitch and heave motions (porpoising) occurred after a certain $Fn_V$, and effectively suppressed using some of appendages, especially the 0.5L spray rail is suppressed to 24-55 % in the pitch motion and 33-55 % in the heave motion. In spray phenomenon, 1L hard chine suppress spray effectively and it is effective to set the angle of appendages to be less than $0^{\circ}$ in order to suppress wave.
