Abstract [en]

An innovative Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) approach, defined as the Forcing Function Method (FFM), is used to simulate Ride Control Systems (RCS) on an Incat Tasmania Wave-Piercing Catamaran vessel in analysis conducted at model scale. This study examines the FFM's capabilities in head sea regular waves using CFD, and considers three ride control scenarios: Bare Hull (BH), Pitch Control (PC), and Non-Linear Pitch Control (NL PC). CFD-predicted vessel motion is compared to experimental data from a 2.5 m Incat Tasmania Wave-Piercing Catamaran model at 2.89 m/s (Fr∼0.6), showing good agreement. Modification in FFM to account for emergence of control surfaces from the water, and time series of lift forces produced by FFM are also discussed. The frequency domain analysis using heave and pitch Response Amplitude Operators (RAOs) showed a good of agreement in motion reduction trends between CFD and experiments, providing a high level of confidence in the FFM predictions. Dimensionless vertical accelerations are calculated along the length of hull using the various control algorithms, showing a considerable reduction in acceleration, especially at the bow. These outcomes demonstrate the novel CFD approach, FFM, that can be used by ship designers for predicting high-speed vessel motion reductions from deployment of RCS, and thereby improving passenger comfort.
